Owens Fails to Report

This guy drives me up the wall and around the bend. He just signed his contract last year and now wants more money? Forget it Terrell. Shut up and play the damn game for once you arrogant loudmouth.

People wonder why fans are having a harder time feeling connected to athletes. Its because guys like T.O. live in a dreamland where they feel they are entitled to everything and then some.

I really hope the Eagles don't give in to him. Andy Reid can be a hardass and I hope he is in this case.

I mostly agree but the only thing I would say in his defence is that the NFL doesn't have guaranteed contracts. They can let you go after any season, so why should a good player have to live up to their contract when the team doesnt?

haha Moss is a better teammate than TO ever will be.

[habernac]

hahahahahahahaha!

The Player's Association told him the deal was crap and he shouldn't have signed it. Hope they let him rot.

To be fair NFL players, especially stars, often get huge signing bonuses that they can keep no matter if they are cut or not so they usually end up alright financially. Plus they get huge pensions now that the NFL is so popular.

And even with this latest act TO will always be better teammate, human, WR than Moss

I really don't want to get into a Moss and T.O. debate again, but I strongly disagree, T.O. has never been about team, he's never cared about any team he was on, it was evident in San Fransico and it's more evident in Philly. McNabb was his best buddy last season, but now he's taking shots at him and is demanding things when he didn't even do that much for the Eagles last year when it counts. Sure he got 100 yards in the playoffs, but what did that do? It was the quietest 100 yards a reciver ever got in the playoffs. All I know is Randy Moss hasn't missed mini-camp and took a paycut for the benefit of the team. I just wonder how long it takes for T.O. to call McNabb gay.

They are both piles of shinguard.

Although at least TO doesn't quit on his team during games.

That's unture, multiple times in San Fransico he refused to play downs after the coordinators were "not trying hard enough to give him the ball".

No point in getting into the argument again I agree.

really I think both are bad and that different people will have a different opinion on which is the lesser evil on a team.

Update on this one - Eagles will not renegotiate with TO. Good for them...to many teams bend over in cases like this. Philly got to the superbowl with TO, they can do it again. TO better wise up soon and realize this or he'll be spending the season spending quality time with his couch.
