This is horseshit...
...I think the league and the union should tell the Eagles tough luck. You have to keep him.
You took your chances with this guy. He did what he does, what you knew he'd do; great player and horrible teamate.
The guy came back from a 10 week injury in 7 weeks to help out and play great in the Superbowl. He's on pace for a personal record season. And he spends all his time viewing the world from his 12 year old perspective.
On top of all that, McNabb is the moron who recruited him. You WANTED him. You got him.
TOUGH!

Nothing to see here
As much as I would like to agree with Larry, I can't. McNabb, Reid and the ownership took a chance on a guy that they thought might finally grow up and it didn't work out. They(ownership) are already out millions, no reason for them to have to eat more of his contract if there is someone stupid enough to take him.
No matter what T.O's numbers are, the Eagles 4-4 record is directly attributable (IMO) to all the turmoil Owens has created since the off-season, pre-season and during this season. I still despise the Eagles but there aren't too many guys in the NFL that I have more respect for than McNabb and Reid. If they can be rid of T.O. via a trade, release or buyout, more power to them.

A better question would be WHAT didn't he do? You don't put down your quarterback and team publicly without upsetting a lot of people. I'm sure there's also a LOT that went on that never was made public, too.
Owens won't return this season...

that won't be until at least next year, the eagles have decided to "keyshawn" him. Suspend for 4 games (no pay) and not play him the rest of the season. i doubt they want a team in contention to pick him up off waviers to compete against them.kom526 said:

I really don't care...
...what they do with him but...
...I disagree. They took a chance on a guy not who would grow up but a chance on a guy they thought they could stomach.
Donovan recruited this guy personally. Let this be a lesson to all you 'grass is greener' types out there.
Ol' Donovan thought HIS love and affection could make TO see the light. HA!
TO was THE first class punk cry baby of the league. He IS and he always will be. That is the given, the KNOWN fact, then and now.
In TO's defense, he's still doing the job on the field. I don't want to hear anything about 'team' from the Eagles. "Team" went out the window when they got him. "Team" was still out the window last season when TO was berating Donovan on the sidelines. "Team" was still out the window after the Superbowl. "Team" was still gone last summer.
The Eagles just had to have the best looking babe around and then all would be complete. Well, TO is STILL the best looking (he's putting up numbers).
So, Eagles, shut up, apologize to TO for expecting something out of him he won't and/or can't give you and just let him do his thing and quit pretending, for one second, this has anything to do with team.
You sold your soul. You can't just get it back by pretending this is all TO's fault and cutting him loose.

Oh, I just think it's funny as hell...
...certainly Reid and McNAbb just KNEW that they could get through to the guy. That the Eagles 'family' was all TO was ever missing. That NOBODY else showed him the love and respect and understanding that lil' TO needed and deserved in order for him to feel part of and commited to a real...team.
I mean, this is the guy that felt it was important for everyone to know that one of Garcia's problems, in addition to not throwing to TO on every play was that Jeff is *gasp* gay.
And that's the thing; if I'm the Eagles, I throw to TO on as many straight plays as the guy can still stand up. Let Shawn Taylor have a look at his rib cage coming over the middle a few times. Let TO find his way through the linebackers as his linemen 'miss' a few blocks. Let him go high on some deep balls with Roy Williams providing help until he's either scored enough to win the damn game or he's reconsidering his attitude. Or both.
Where the hell are the men any more? Just as soon as the kid realizes that he has a choice between getting broke in half on the field or quiting in front of a national audience OR becoming a team guy, problem solved.
It is simply beyond me that you bring on a prima dona and DON'T have the brass knuckles standing buy to make his role in the world PERFECTLY CLEAR.
I would quick out him, reverse him, send him deep and run him across the field until the world comes into better focus.
Gruden too. What's the matter with these guys? Just tell them;
You embarrased and disrespected me and your team and now, on live TV, it's payback. Are you man enough?

Klassic Karma! (Red)
Un-signed, of course. Oh well. At least I'm not the Eagle fan.
HA!

Now THERE'S the real story...
Old Mike is on a roll with his new interview gig.
First, he gets Keyshawn riled up so he has a 'must see' interview, then, he takes TO, then hands him a hand grenade. TO, being TO, sets it off.
Irvin is taking advantage of how stupid these guys are to further is own career.
For anyone curious, Irvin asked TO if he thought that they, the Eagles, would be better off with Favre at QB. Now, TO is certainly responsible for what he says, but, come on, he ain't very bright and he'd have never brought up Favre as Eagle savior on his own.
Irvin played him.
