Terrell Owens (official thread of nonsense)

Of course the Union will file a grievance, but forget it...they have no way of preventing the Eagles from Keyshon Johnsoning his ass and inactivating him. Hilarious how he thinks he's going to get more money somewhere else...there will be teams willing to sign him, but not for what kind of money he wants.

Coach Andy Reid announced Monday that Owens had been suspended by the team for four games for conduct detrimental to the team, the maximum games allowed by league rules, and would not return to the team for the remainder of the season.
The four-game suspension includes Sunday night's loss to the Redskins.
Owens has informed the Eagles, according to Reid, that the players' union has said it will be filing a grievance on his behalf for this action.
Reid said in his weekly press conference that despite this week's incidents, T.O. was given every opportunity to avoid being suspended but failed to make use of them.
Reid declined to comment on the details that led to Owens' suspension.

I still don't think that the Eagles are done (out of playoffs). Even though they lost (on the road) to washington, they showed a lot of hope. Reggie Brown had a great game for having to step up at the last minute, and McNabb looked alot more energetic and mobile and everyone in general looked much more relaxed without you-know-who there. I think that now being able to practice and work day in and out without this guy, they will be a better team. Keep in mind that they really only had a few days to adjust and to get Reggie Brown ready for Washington.

I think you kind of killed your own argument when you stated that Reggie Brown had a great game. If your excuse was that they only had a few days to adjust and get Reggie Brown ready.........it looks like they got Reggie pretty adjusted, and still lost.

by the way, are you an eagles fan?

Terrell Owens Calls News Conference

yahoo.com

11/8/05

PHILADELPHIA - Terrell Owens and agent Drew Rosenhaus will have a news conference at the Owens' house in Moorestown, N.J. this afternoon. Owens' brief but tumultuous time in Philadelphia ended yesterday when the All-Pro wide receiver was told not to return to the team this season.

"This decision is a result of a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time, during which Terrell had been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions," Eagles coach Andy Reid said.

Owens was suspended for Sunday night's 17-10 loss at Washington, and will remain suspended for three more games without pay. After that, the Eagles plan to deactivate him for the rest of the season.

Though he's perhaps the best wideout in the NFL, Owens caused far too many distractions with his selfish behavior.

"We gave Terrell every opportunity to avoid this outcome," Reid said.
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 instead of Donovan McNabb.

Owens also was involved in a fight last week with former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas, who remains with the team as its "ambassador." Owens apologized for his comments about the organization in a brief statement Friday, but didn't apologize to McNabb or the team.

"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 summoned police to his house late Monday because there were some people on his property. He said he wanted to be left alone, had no comment and would contact the news media when he did want to speak, police at the scene said.

Later, two pizzas were delivered to Owens' home. Someone answered the door — not Owens — and gave deliveryman James McDevitt a $5 tip.

McDevitt said he left the tip on the door step.

Rosenhaus, refused to comment. Owens' relationship with the Eagles took a drastic turn after he fired longtime agent David Joseph, hired Rosenhaus and demanded a new contract just one season into the seven-year, $48.97 million deal he signed when he came to Philadelphia in March 2004.

Owens is scheduled to earn $3.25 million this season, meaning the four-game suspension would cost him almost $800,000.

The Eagles will have to pay Owens nearly $1 million to stay home the final five games. They could've simply released him already, but they didn't want his signing bonus to affect the salary cap or allow him to go to another team.

Owens will either be traded or cut after the season. He's due to receive a $5 million roster bonus in March 2006, so the Eagles will decide his fate before then.

Owens made more than $9 million last season, when he helped lead Philadelphia to the Super Bowl.

Two years ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided they'd had enough of Keyshawn Johnson and made a similar move.

After Johnson criticized coach Jon Gruden, the Super Bowl champion Bucs deactivated the star receiver and sent him home for the final six games with pay.


The Eagles are 4-4 this season. And 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 team 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.

"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," he said.

Asked to elaborate on how the team could be better off without its top receiver, McNabb emphasized the remaining players are united with the same goal of winning.

Rookie Reggie Brown filled in for Owens against Washington and caught five passes for 94 yards, including a 56-yard TD reception. But the Eagles' offense continued to struggle and couldn't score the tying touchdown with three shots from the Redskins 7 in the final minutes.

The Eagles were 17-5 with Owens, including a 24-21 loss to New England in the Super Bowl. In that game, Owens had nine catches for 122 yards after defying his doctor's advice and playing 6 1/2 weeks after ankle surgery.

They're 2-1 without him in games that matter, winning twice in the NFC playoffs.

This was the second time Owens has been suspended during his controversial 10-year career. In 2000, he was suspended one game by San Francisco coach Steve Mariucci following his infamous touchdown celebrations on the Dallas Cowboys' star logo at the center of Texas Stadium.

Owens clashed with management this summer and earned a one-week exile from training camp after a heated dispute with Reid that followed a shouting match with offensive coordinator Brad Childress.

Owens forced a trade to the Eagles last year after eight seasons with the 49ers and invigorated the offense with his superior skills. He had 77 catches for 1,200 yards and 14 TDs in 14 games.

Soon after Philadelphia lost to the Patriots, Owens took his first shot at McNabb, suggesting the five-time Pro Bowl quarterback was tired in the fourth quarter of the loss.

McNabb responded harshly and the two didn't speak for a prolonged period in training camp. They eventually reconciled their relationship and performed well together on the field — Owens has 47 catches for 763 yards and six TDs this season.
However, Owens continued to throw verbal jabs at McNabb.

T.O's newsconference was an absolute joke. He reads a prepared statement apologizing to the fans, the Eagles organization and such, and he looked angry doing it. There was not one bit of remorse in the way he looked or in his words that leads me to believe that this was anything more then him trying to protect his millions. To top it off Drew Rosenhaus made a few statements too, and basically blamed the media for victimizing T.O. What an absolute joke this news conference was. Both T.O and Drew Rosenhaus both are struggling to keep the money he has, because god knows what team in thier right mind is going to sign this asshole to a longterm deal? T.O is going to have to get used to living on 1 year deals that are heavily laden with bonuses and incentives I hope if any NFL team has the distaste to sign him after the Eagles release him. Looks like T.O is going to be getting his wish for a new contract....hopefully its with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL!

i have a little mimi-conspiracy theory.

TO's current contract with the eagles was negotiated by his previous agent, not rousendouche. so, if i'm not mistaken, drew gets nothing from that. it's also quite clear that philly wasnt going to give him a new contract. the only way for rosenfag to get paid is to get that contract torn up and get a new one. That will now be accomplished at the end of this season at worst.

so while this bitchfit that owens had is going to cost him some major scratch, his agent is finally getting his pocket lined.
