Category: Philadelphia Eagles

Just announced by Andy Reid on his press conference. No further answers because of a pending NFLPA grievance. TO just notified 1/2 hour ago.  

By the way, I’m in danger of hurting myself patting my back but you heard it here first.

I guess the Philadelphia Eagles have had enough of his act and will “Keyshawn” him for the rest of the season. The final straw might have been his statement that the Eagles would be 7-0 with Brett Favre at the helm and that McNabb is hurting the team. Clearly, anyone who thinks that is violating the league’s substance abuse policy. (Thanks for the tip, BP.)

Update: Reid in response to a question about suspending TO, replied, “We’ll see how things go, I’m still in the middle of addressing the whole issue and finding out all the information.”

Update 11/5: ESPN is reporting that Terrell Owens is suspended indefinitely.

When a 32-year-old man is whining and complaining on national TV, two things come to mind. Either the man is on the Jerry Springer show or he is Terrell Owens.

Drew Bennett of the Titans. Torry Holt of the Rams. Joe Horn of the Saints. Reggie Wayne of the Colts. Nate Burleson of the Vikings. All five of these wide receivers had nine or more touchdown grabs in 2004. What separates them from Terrell Owens, better known as “T.O.”? Well, T.O’s salary in 2004 ($9.16 million) is more than five million above the combined salary of the other five ($3.94 million). While the other five receivers are content with their contracts for this season and are not holding out for more money, T.O. is unhappy and is asking for more. Just doesn’t fit, does it?

‘No coach, I can only play if you are payin’ me 10 million bucks a year! Now excuse me while I go back to my fancy cars and ridiculously huge house so I can have my butler take phone calls from all the companies that are paying me millions of dollars to act in their commercials! Look, coach, you just have no idea how hard it is bein’ T.O.!’

So, tell me Terrell, how hard IS it bein’ you? Oh, your rear hurts from sitting around at home instead of going to training camp? I’m terribly sorry to hear that. What’s that? It’s Donovan’s fault? Oh, Andy Reid’s fault. My bad, I must have misheard you the first time. Ok, now excuse me while I go puke.

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.

Freddie Mitchell remained silent Sunday night because his play had done all of his talking for him.  Number 84 caught one ball for 11 yards, which came during a desperate drive, against a prevent defense, in the closing minutes of a game, in which the outcome had already been decided.  So if Freddie Mitchell doesn’t understand what his Super Bowl XXXIX performance is trying to say, we will shout it to him, shut up Freddie!

“We are going to the Super Bowl, so don’t even doubt it,” injured Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens said yesterday. “I’ve never felt so confident in my entire career than how I felt this past Sunday. When I walked into that locker room and saw those guys – saw that as happy as they were that they knew they still had business to take care of – that let me know right there we’ll be in Jacksonville come Feb. 6. There is no doubt in my mind.

On Sunday, the Eagles got killed by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just absolutely demolished. But when you turn on the television, you won’t get any insights into why the Eagles were beaten in every facet of the game. Instead, what you will be treated to is replay after replay of Terrell Owens jawing at McNabb on the sideline. The media has been waiting 8 weeks for this to happen, and by golly, they are the biggest rats.

Remember last week how I compared beating the Giants to beating a retard at checkers? Well, this week, Mike Tice and his short bus came to town. Don’t get me wrong, the Vikings are a very very talented team, especially on offense. But Tice and his coaching staff (with some help from a flustered Culpepper and The Phreak) managed to drive that bus right off a cliff.
