HAHA Dumbass!!!
PHILADELPHIA -- Terrell Owens won't return to the Philadelphia Eagles this season, coach Andy Reid said Monday.
The outspoken star receiver was suspended for Sunday night's 17-10 loss at Washington, and will remain suspended for three more games. After that, the Eagles plan to deactivate Owens for the rest of the season.
"The league has been notified by the players' union that they will be grieving our right to take that action," Reid said, "therefore there is nothing more that I can say at this point."
Owens was suspended over the weekend following a tumultuous week in which he criticized the club, fought with a former teammate and took another verbal shot at quarterback Donovan McNabb.
"I do want it to be clear that this decision is a result of a large number of situations that ac ulated over a long period of time," Reid said.
Owens "had been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions," Reid said. "We gave Terrell every opportunity to avoid this outcome."
Owens was suspended Saturday, two days after he said the Eagles showed "a lack of class" for not publicly recognizing his 100th career touchdown catch in a game on Oct. 23. In the same interview with ESPN.com on Thursday, Owens said the Eagles would be better off with Green Bay's Brett Favre at quarterback.
Owens was involved in a fight last week with former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas, who remains with the team as its "ambassador."
McNabb, who feuded with Owens throughout the summer and has been a constant target of his criticism, finally took a stand in the matter, saying the Eagles might be "better off" without Owens.
"Obviously it is tough losing a guy of his caliber, his ability, but I think we might be better off," McNabb said after throwing an interception that sealed the loss to Washington. "I think what we did tonight, we showed that we played well together. I think we also showed that when given the opportunity, guys can make plays for us. We're 4-4. We're not 1-7. I think that's the way to look at it. For the guys in the locker room, we win together and we lose together."
I'm not sure there are any more NFL teams who will be willing to put up with his crap.
And in the event there are some that will, they won't be willing to offer him a lot of money for his services.
T.O. thus becomes the first instance where an athlete is such a de able, awful, piece of excuse for a human being that it overwhelms his considerable talent.
Ryan Leaf was even more of an asshole, but he sucked.
Could've done this about a month ago before I traded for him.
hahahahahahahha smack the primadonna down!
I am sure he's already doing some coke and weed.
Sorry about fantasy league
TO would be safer goin' back to Philly than having to face Kori!
From what I have heard, there are some teams that would be willing to sign him once the Eagles cut him in March. The consensus around the league, though, is that nobody is going to want to sign him for more than one year at a time. That means there is no way he can make the kind of money that he was whining about in Philly. He should have kept his mouth shut and played to his ability...it would have paid off eventually. Look at Westbrook, he was unhappy with his contract, but he showed up...shut up...and played for the TEAM. Now he got a 5 year $25 million extenison.
Like I said, Dump TO.
Useless.
T.O. is just pathetic. I'm so sick of his antics. I wish the league would just ban him for life to show other pathetic POS's that this kind of crap won't be tolerated.
Way to take a stand Eagles.
That's what you get for drafting that puto.
49'ers drafted him...
This guy will end up:
1. Homeless
2. In Prison
3. On ESPN's pregame show
or any combination thereof.
I knew he wouldn't be playing for the rest of the season. I wonder what team would get T.O. I bet the Raiders would.
TO miscalculated. He should have realized that the NFL is not a player's league like the NBA. He's a great player, but maybe too much of a headache.
Hunt for a new W/R. Guys who might be available and have nice upside: Nate Burleson, Andre Johnson, Jaravicious (at least for this week), Johnson (Arizona), TO's backup looked pretty good yesterday.
Good Luck.
Reggie Brown can be solid.
He's about to turn into the wideout version of Jeff George.
I don't believe T.O. is as bad a teammate as the media will have us believe.
The NFL is a meat market and if you are not a player, I don't think you really know what it's like. When he signed his deal, he was given a $10 million signing bonus. He received $2.3 million of that last season. Apparently the Eagles could release him and that would cancel out the remaining $7.5 million of his signing bonus along with the non-guaranteed money. So in a sense, the guaranteed money is not really guaranteed.
Granted, he signed the contract and he should honor it. But T.O. is fighting against the NFL and the CBA in a sense. That is why there is so much negative publicity against him. He is the best player to date to fight the system.
I think it's within his rights to renegotiate. Everything is negoitable if you have leverage. I just don't think he has enough leverage to win against the Eagles and the NFL. It's a shame because as much as I hate the Eagles, I love the way he plays. The guy is a great player.
Not to their Fantasy League.
Your wrong buddy! :
1. He is a multi-millionare !!!
2. He has never ever done anything wrong, or against the law, when he is off the field. According to many players and media, he is a great guy when you talk to him in person and away from the field.
3. Maybe when he is retired, he will be on ESPN. Cause God knows that if CRACKHEAD Irvin can do it, Owens can.
Owens will be playing for an NFL team for years to come. He is a beast on the field and I guarantee you that he will be picked up in a heartbeat!
Get it right...
It was cocaine...not crack. :p Same stuff just in different forms. Cocaine is for the rich folks.
For all of T.O.'s antics, he is NOT the reason the Eagles are 4-4. Donovan should be suspended for play detrimental to his team.
I seriously hope that no teams take him and he is forced to not play another NFL game of his life.
T.O.
Are you an Eagles fan? Why do you hate him?
He WILL get another chance because he is a great player.
