I was watching CSN sportsnite, and they had an interview with Michael Irvin and TO.
TO said:
- He doesn't hate Donovan, he loves Donovan. He was just disappointed in some things.
- He will talk to Donovan. (hinted that they would have some sideline fun in Atlanta) - When asked if it would be monday night TO said "You'll see, the camera is always on me."
- Admitted that Donovan and Hugh were 2 people he didn't talk to. He said he always had an open ear for players who wanted to talk to him.
- Said it may or may not have been his fault, but he is human and makes mistakes.
The locker room love has to wear on you eventually. This team has a lot of love. Also I think Donovan sticking up for TO with that horse collar tackle against the Bengals may have made TO come to realize that he is a good person again.
The optimist in me has always thought that once the season starts and there are more important things to worry about that this whole thing will blow over. The pessimist in me says I'll believe it when I see it.
While it would be nice and lovely to see TO and McNabb having fun on the field together, I really don't care as long as the team's winning.
Whether you care or not, you have to admit it was hilarious monday night @ dallas, when McNabb and TO mocked the blowup at the Steelers game. It's entertaining when those two have fun. I like to be entertained, so it matters to me. The winning is the most important thing, but I like my sundaes with cherries on top.
I already put 10 bucks on TO and Donovan making poo babies by Week 5.
QuoteOwens Breaks Silence, Talks to Irvin
by Andy Schwartz
ComcastSportsNet.com
Terrell Owens plans to make up with Donovan McNabb.
It's just a matter of when.
But Owens plans to work things out with McNabb before the two play in the Eagles' season opener against the Falcons on Sept. 12 on Monday Night Football.
For the first time since he returned from his week-long dismissal on Aug. 17, Owens has spoke with a member of the media.
In an interview with ESPN's Michael Irvin, Owens said he hasn't refused to talk with his teammates, and he will at some point talk with quarterback Donovan McNabb.
"I didn't turn a deaf ear to any of my teammates," Owens said. "If they wanted to talk to me, I talked to them. There wasn't any situation where a player came to me and I didn't talk to them. That's not true. Everybody made me look like I just didn't talk to any of my teammates, but that wasn't the case."
Owens cited McNabb and Hugh Douglas as two players with which he refused to speak. The three were involved in an altercation in the beginning of training camp. Owens doesn't has to worry about talking to Douglas, who was among the Eagles' final cuts.
As for McNabb, Owens will resume communication with his quarterback. When Irvin asked if he could succeed without talking with McNabb, Owens pointed to the preseason game against the Bengals, when he made five receptions for 131 yards, including a 64-yard TD, in the first half.
"Did you see the first preseason game? Then there you have it. But I will say, because the god is in me, I will talk to Donovan. At some particular point, the spirit will move me to talk to him, because that's just how I am," Owens said.
"It's not that I hate Donovan. I love Donovan. I don't hate him at all. I was just disappointed in a few things. I have the right to do that.
"Everybody speaks out of emotion. Everybody speaks out of frustration. Everybody's done. That means I'm human. If you want me to go in and say I was wrong, maybe I was. Maybe I wasn't."
Owens plans on talking with McNabb sometime before kickoff Monday night.
"I will. I will. You guys will see. It's not going to be a year-long thing. Leading up to this Monday Night game, things will get worked out," Owens said.
When asked to clarify that statement, Owens insinuated that viewers will be able to find out for themselves.
"The camera is going to be on me," Owens said. "Believe that."
When asked to elaborate further, Owens said,
"Wait till Monday night."
Funny, sit ups on the front lawn was breaking news and front and center IMMEDIATELY on ESPN.com.

Hell yeah that was funny. I loved every second of it. I taped that game and kept watching that particular 15 second clip for the rest of the week. But like I said, if they don't revive that relationship, it's no sweat of my back as long as the team keeps winning.

It should be considering that's pretty abmormal behavior.........for TO.
Action speaks louder than words. I just hope they keep slipping him his meds till February. :yay

Ditto that. I don't care if TO and Donovan rub each other down after practice or throw punches. Just Win Baby! :D
They've hired a trainer to sit in the bushes where PG takes minicamp pictures. He's got a tranq gun full of TO's meds. First sign of slippage and TO gets a dart in the neck.
What happens when TO finds the dart in his neck? What explanation do the Eagles give him?
atl should be really scared now!
ESPN everything sucks. Their magazine, their television channels, their merchandise. Everything.
That's why I changed my homepage to TSN.ca. (still part of the Disney ****ing network I know, but TSN is like ESPN before it got all crap-a-fied)
i'm glad Jeebus has such a profound influence on TO.
As long as the "spirit" moves his ass in the end zone while holding the friggin football, i could give a shtein as to whether he and 5 are friends or not.

Same here. Just get the damned job done on the field.
Like SD said...keep on pumpin' him full o' valium.
I am encouraged by this. His little "maybe I was wrong...maybe I wasn't" is as good of an admission tht TO will ever give. First time I've ever heard him somewhat apologize.
TO was taking suggestions on his website for his TD celebrations on MNF and some suggested that he give the ball to DMac afterwards. Maybe he'll go leg-hump him or something. My suggestion to the guy who posted it on the EMB was that TO fire Rosenclown on TV via a sign like Chad Johnson did a few years ago.
All's I know is that the rest of the league better watch out.
Burn him.

Awwww, lighten up, rjs. I bet you'd change your tune if T.O. humped your leg.
If TO humped my leg I would take 15 pictures and sell them on eBay for $39.95 each.
TO would buy every single one.
You gotta feed your family, though. I think he'd pay upwards of $54.95/each.
They ARE collector's items.
Not if you know just how many pictures are out there of T.O. humping legs, especially yours.
I'm sick of the whole thing, either he produces, or he goes!

Will do on both accounts.
Take it outside, ladies.

Ditto. I just decided Hugh's being cut had nothing to do with his play vs. Jacquezs Thomas. It was because TO wanted him gone. :paranoid

I'm surprised ESPN/Bayless hasn't already come out with that one yet.
