That didn’t take long did it? Wasn’t it about a year ago that fans all over the Delaware County were basically out of their minds ecstatic about the arrival of the savior in cleats, God’s gift to Eagles fans everywhere, aka Terrell Owens? He was the answer to their prayers. The man who was going to deliver them to the promised land; finally help them get over that seemingly mile high wall that was the NFC Championship game. And, best of all, he actually wanted to be here. He was all over the television, on any sports show he could find, trumpeting his case. He argued passionately about his love for D5, and how he just knew he was the missing link. He shot down any worry about whether he could co-exist with Andy Reid. And for once, the reality matched the promise. He flat out performed. 77 catches for 1200 yards and 14 td’s in only 14 games. He was one score shy of forcing big red to done those tights. Sure, he broke that leg, keeping him out of the playoffs, but he came back like the superhero all of Philly hoped he would be and shredded the Pats in J’ville, albeit in a loss. So after that amazing 1st act, you couldn’t blame Eagles fans everywhere for being amped up thinking about what he had in store for the encore. Well, now we know. T.O. is back to acting like T.O.
