Deserved its own thread...

Just saw it on the bottom line...

The Eagles have had enough. They suspended Terrell Owens indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team after his interview with Graham Bensinger.

It's like if you and I were in a contest or we were going out to the beach, you would probably be reluctant to take your shirt off. Right, but in my case, I work out, I feel like I have a nice body, then I wouldn't have a problem taking my shirt off. I have a number of friends who tell me if they had my body they would probably walk around naked. So that's basically where that comes from. You just got to be confident in who you are, and don't let anybody say or tell you anything different."

as a giants fan, i support this

11/5/2005 12:59:03 PM

good news for the giants

11/5/2005 1:02:06 PM

TO is a fucking cancer

11/5/2005 1:03:04 PM

go skins

11/5/2005 1:03:26 PM

as cancerous as he may be

they have absolutely ZERO chance to make the playoffs if he doesn't play

11/5/2005 1:04:52 PM

brett favre is a better reciever than TO

...

11/5/2005 1:07:30 PM

yeah and tony fisher is a better running back than the phantom backs of the eagles

they can just suck a fuck

11/5/2005 1:08:59 PM

eagles need TA mclendon

11/5/2005 1:10:05 PM

If i had a body like TO, i wouldn't be a douche and would play football without whining every 5 minutes

11/5/2005 1:11:37 PM

they would have solved all of their problems if they had just given him is damn money this summer.

Give him his money, and put a clause in his contract saying that every time talks trash about another team member to the media, they have the right to fine him a half a million smackers. There goes the controversy.

11/5/2005 1:12:49 PM

he plays football just fine

he's got some baggage...andy reid and the eagles cant handle it

he will wind up somewhere that can handle it this time and everything will be fine

11/5/2005 1:13:47 PM

oakland


ah shit..i was just joking, but how nasty would he and moss be on the same team? aint gonna happen, but still

"Owens will miss the Eagles' key Sunday night game against the Washington Redskins and it is uncertain when, or if, he will return to the team. Under terms of the league's collective bargaining agreement, a player can be suspended for a maximum of four contests for conduct detrimental to the team. The suspension will cost Owens $205,882 for every game he misses, based on his salary of $3.5 million for this season. "

11/5/2005 1:17:04 PM

if big andy and the birds cant handle this guy, who can? as an eagles fan i support wat they're doin here. even though its gonna be VERY TOUGH to win with out him, u gotta take a stand and show TO who's runnin this operation.

FUCK TO, get his ass out of philly.

11/5/2005 1:18:42 PM

"cant" handle it?

are you fucing kidding me, no respectable organization would WANT to handle that nigger's bullshit day in and day out

good call Eagles

11/5/2005 1:19:28 PM

sal palantonio said on ESPN radio said the eagles told him he had to apologize in front of the whole team and the media

he only apologized to the media.

11/5/2005 1:43:37 PM

no one said his career was over, im sure the Raiders or the Vikings would love to have him

11/5/2005 1:48:42 PM

yeah the vikings love flashy recievers with big mouths

that's why they kept moss

11/5/2005 1:51:03 PM

they love outlaws and hooligans

11/5/2005 1:52:07 PM

11/5/2005 2:30:13 PM

more like charles barkley if we never laughed at him

11/5/2005 2:40:37 PM

I hate TO as much as anybody but that interviewer is a classless fuck

half of his questions were just putting TO on the spot to cause some controversey

GB: Has the Eagles' reluctance to renegotiate your contract (made) you less willing to play hurt?

GB: Your friend Michael Irvin recently said that if Brett Favre was the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, they'd be undefeated right now. What do you think of that comment?

GB: Obviously, it's not necessary, but everybody likes to be complimented, everyone likes to be congratulated for accomplishing something. And you did something that only five players in the history of the NFL have done. So, how surprised were you then when the Eagles just made no public acknowledgement of it?

GB: Is that frustrating for you that the organization almost tries to make you out to be the villain?

GB: You've also said the Eagles made you sign this secret waiver, essentially barring them from any responsibility if you were injured. They adamantly deny it. Take me through what happened.

Andy Reed > Chuck Amato

11/5/2005 2:53:12 PM

^^Those are called leading questions, my friend, and are designed to be controversial.



However, 95% of professionals can successfully side-step such questions (via the 'no comment' response), or at worst answer them diplomatically.



Terrell Owens is a rare exception; he has this "keepin it real" mantra about himself which more often than not, is just him keepin it rude...

[Edited on November 5, 2005 at 2:56 PM. Reason : ^^]

11/5/2005 2:56:12 PM

so wait....why did he get suspended?

11/5/2005 2:56:18 PM

I would love to see him on the Packers.

11/5/2005 3:05:27 PM

I would love to see him in the unemployment line, personally

11/5/2005 3:06:22 PM

THANK GOD TO DOES NOT PLAY FOR THE PANTHERS......I love having Steve Smith..but the fuckers in management should of kept Mushin Muhammed,,im still pissed about letting him go to the Bears!

11/5/2005 3:18:44 PM

^Losing him made salary room for us to pick up Wahle and Lucas, both at positions we needed. So bye bye Muhammad, though I would have liked to see him retire as a Panther.

11/5/2005 3:30:45 PM

i love that his mouth will finally cost him money.... maybe he will learn something

11/5/2005 5:20:53 PM

T.O. is such a Fuck Up.
