This is great news! No there is less of an excuse Philly knob riders can use when NE wins BY DOUBLE DIGITS! If anyone goes out with a career ending injury I hope it isn't a classy guy like McNabb but a closet case like TO.
Stick this in your pipe and smoke it.
Assistant coaches: Owens will play

PHILADELPHIA — He’s playing.
Period.
Two Eagles assistant coaches said Friday that wide receiver Terrell Owens is definitely playing in Super Bowl XXXIX a week from tomorrow.
“There’s not even a question anymore,” one coach said. “He’s playing. And he’s not just going out there for four plays. He’s playing and he’s going to be a big factor in the game.”
Owens hasn’t played since suffering severe ankle and leg injuries during the Eagles’ win over the Cowboys at the Linc on Dec. 19 and undergoing ankle surgery three days later.
But he began running and cutting in private sessions in the Eagles’ indoor practice facility on Tuesday, and he’s been so impressive that the Eagles have already made the decision to suit him up for the Super Bowl against the Patriots on Feb. 6 at ALLTEL Stadium in Jacksonville.
“It’s pretty amazing, really,” the second coach said. “He’s not even sore. He’s not even in any pain. You watch him run, you can’t even tell he was hurt. For most people, that would be impossible, but for T.O., hey, that’s just who he is.”
Owens caught 77 passes for 1,200 yards and a franchise-record 14 touchdown catches in 14 regularseason games. The Eagles scored 54 points in two playoff games without him, beating the Vikings, 27-14, and the Falcons, 27-10.
Right now, the plan is for Owens to begin practicing with the Eagles on Wednesday, their first full-bore session in Jacksonville.
“T.O. told one of the trainers, ‘Unless it’s a matter of life and death, I’m playing,’ ” the first coach said. “You have to remember, this guy has been in the NFL nine years and has never been to a Super Bowl. This is all he has left. He’s not going to miss it.”
The Patriots have been planning all along for Owens.
“He’s on the active roster,” Pats coach Bill Belichick said. “So we will be ready for him. We’re not going to wait until kickoff. We are going to prepare for the game assuming that everybody is there.”

Jacksonville, here we come!
A guy from Philadelphia(Brewski) dies and is sent to . He had been a horrible
man his entire life. The devil puts him to work breaking up rocks with a
sledgehammer. To make it worse he cranks up the temperature and the
humidity. After a couple of days, the devil checks in on his victim to see
if he is suffering adequately.
The devil is aghast as the Brewski is happily swinging his hammer
and whistling a happy tune. The devil walks up to him and says, "I don't
understand this. I've turned the heat way up, it's humid and you're
crushing rocks; why are you so happy?"
Brewski, with a big smile, looks at the devil and replies, "This
is great! It reminds me of August in Philadelphia. Hot, humid, a good
place to work. It reminds me of home. This is fantastic!"
The devil, extremely perplexed, walks away to ponder the Philadelphian's
remark. Then he decides to drop the temperature into the low 40's, send
down a driving rain and torrential wind. Soon, becomes a wet, muddy
mess. Walking in mud up to his knees with dust blowing into his eyes, the
Philadelphian is happily slogging through the mud, happily singing, "On
The Way To Cape May," and pushing a wheelbarrow full of crushed rocks.
Again, the devil asks how he can be happy in such conditions. Brewski replies, "This is great! Just like spring in Philadelphia.
It reminds me of working out in the yard getting the yard and garden ready!"
The devil is now completely baffled but more determined to make the
Philadelphian suffer. He makes the temperature plummet to numbers far
below zero. Suddenly is blanketed in snow and ice. Confident
that this will surely make the Philadelphian unhappy, the devil checks in
on him. He is again aghast at what he sees.
Brewski is dancing, singing, and twirling his sledgehammer as
he cavorts in glee.
"How can you be so happy? Don't you know its 40 below zero!?" screams
the devil.
Jumping up and down Brewski throws a snowball at the devil
and yells, " has frozen over!! The Eagles must be going to the Super
Bowl!"
