Title: Excerpts from New T.O. Book Released
Post by: Beermonkey on July 05, 2006, 11:38:27 PM
Get yo' popcorn ready...and your puke buckets. Not that this wasn't a surprise.

Web Exclusive: Owens Trashes McNabb In New Book (http://www.nbc10.com/news/9474176/detail.html)

QuoteIn the book, Owens paints McNabb as a hypocrite, a weak leader and someone who was jealous of Owens and blocked Owens' return to the Eagles after a four-game suspension.

And Owens paints himself as a heroic but sometimes flawed figure who was wronged by McNabb, arbitrator Richard Bloch, coach Andy Reid and the Eagles.

"I accept that I played a role in tearing apart the Eagles season, but the blame was not all mine," Owens said.

But Owens puts most of the blame on McNabb.

Quote"I couldn't believe it," Owens said about a pass play where McNabb decided not to throw him the ball. "Donovan had time to get the ball to me. ... Donovan ignored me, he ignored Coach Reid's design."

Owens said he returned to the huddle and ask McNabb about the play, and McNabb responded with an obscenity to Owens in front of teammates.

In his opinion, Owens then knew McNabb was deeply jealous of his popularity in Philadelphia.

"I was getting so much of the Philadelphia glory that used to be his," Owens said.

QuoteAnd he also claims that the "majority" of Eagles players wanted him back on team, and that Reid made an effort to bring him back after Owens' suspension was announced.

But Owens believes McNabb forced Reid to drop that effort.

"McNabb viewed taking me back as an affront to his control of the team," Owens said.

Owens also said he was told by a team coach to careful around McNabb because the All-Pro quarterback got "nervous and tight" in big games.

Sounds more to me like TO was the jealous one and now he's just trying to turn it around on McNabb.

No one should spend any money on that book. No one. A copy should be stolen and printed on the net for everyone to read.

Also, as much as I loved T.O., I have a deep, dark hate for the guy. I think he's a great candidate for paralysis.

QuotePhil Sheridan | Dallas, beware: T.O. tome trashes Eagles, but he is Cowboys' problem.

By Phil Sheridan
Inquirer Columnist

No doubt Terrell Owens' plan is to disrupt yet another Eagles season with the carefully timed release of T.O., his 242-page prepared statement.

A preliminary glimpse, however, suggests that this thing is really much worse news for the Dallas Cowboys, Owens' new team, than it is for the Eagles.

Why? Because the moral of this particular story is that Owens is still every bit the no-class, no-clue team-wrecker he was in Philadelphia. The man portrayed by Owens and coconspirator Jason Rosenhaus is a sociopath, coldly unconcerned with the consequences of his actions and guided by a self-deluding logic all his own.

If you're Jerry Jones or Bill Parcells or especially Drew Bledsoe and you read this mess, you have to be very, very afraid.

It is clear in retrospect that we in Philadelphia were negligent in the summer of 2004, when Playboy magazine published the interview in which Owens implied that former San Francisco teammate Jeff Garcia was gay. Friends in the Bay Area pointed out that Owens eventually would turn on Donovan McNabb, too, but that seemed crazy at the time.

Hey, we were young and foolish. The Eagles had their best team in a generation and everything looked possible. Owens was in his full-on charmer mode, thrilling fans at Lehigh with his speed and grace and vacuum-cleaner hands. This unfortunate choice of words - "If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat..." - was just a remnant from whatever had transpired with the 49ers. Not our concern.

Wrong.

See, there are two possibilities. Either Terrell Owens is a fundamentally good person (and great athlete) who struggles occasionally with authority and inadvertently causes commotions, or Terrell Owens is a fundamentally selfish and cruel person (and great athlete) who can hide behind a wide smile and charming persona for short periods of time.

In 2004, from the perspective of a Philadelphian, Owens looked like a misunderstood guy who had learned from his mistakes. And, hey, the Niners were a disaster area, right?

In 2006, we know better. And if you had any doubts, his latest ghostwritten autobiography should sweep them away for good.

(How many books do you think Owens has read in the last three years? Is there any chance he's read as many as he's had published?)

It would take most of today's Sports section to address all of Owens' claims. Some, of course, could only be affirmed or denied by getting statements from the other people involved. That was not possible on short notice, made necessary by the puzzling marketing strategy of releasing the title only to random Wal-Marts.

(Your humble narrator was inside five of the megastores yesterday. They were all, um, Wal-Marty.)

The one constant throughout Owens' version of events, carefully phrased by the less-distinguished Rosenhaus brother, is that he is never to blame for anything. He has the mind-set of the average 4-year-old, before concepts such as right, wrong and personal accountability have had a chance to take root.

He signs a contract with the Eagles against the advice of the NFL Players Association, but that's not his fault. He continually agitates McNabb, just as he used to do with his San Francisco quarterbacks, but that's McNabb's fault. He has the ability to read McNabb's mind, assuming that McNabb is jealous of Owens' popularity. In his quest for more money, he criticizes McNabb's Super Bowl performance in the most cowardly fashion, then hides behind the fact he didn't use McNabb's name.

It goes on and on like that.

McNabb was wrong, coach Andy Reid was wrong, the 49ers were wrong, his former agent was wrong, Eagles president Joe Banner was wrong, the arbitrator who upheld his suspension was wrong - the world is wrong and Terrell Owens is right.

There's a name for that kind of logic: insanity. Unless you're a Galileo or Albert Einstein, and it's safe to say Owens is not.

For a lot of Eagles fans, a fresh round of Owens-related nonsense will be as welcome as another thunderstorm. He's gone. He signed with the dreaded Cowboys. Enough already.

Surely Owens' first priority is to sell books by creating a fresh round of controversy. His second, though, is to toss a big ol' stink bomb into the Eagles' camp. He's proven how much damage he can do to this team when he's here, so why not try a little long-distance sabotage?

But the joke ultimately will be on the Cowboys. Just as the Playboy interview should have sounded alarm bells here, the 242-page prepared statement should scare the hell out of the Cowboys.

The guy in that book, the human toxic-waste spill, is now in their locker room, fouling up their chemistry.

That third book should be a real doozy.

theres no question mcnabb was a little girl about the whole thing....as he is with anything that doesnt go exactly his way....but that doesnt excuse what TO did and it is ultimately his fault

in the end what you had was a chest puffing out of control ego wr paired with a soft batch qb...and thats just not going to ever work...why you think andy always surrounds mcnabb with #3 wr's...

Thanks IGY, I was beginning think I logged into Obsessivecompulsivefield.com.   :paranoid

It hurts my scrotum knowing that pigfarger, via his book, is still going to have an impact on this team. The media was already set to overanalyze McNabb this year & once that all of TO's accusations are made public, the media is going be ready to pounce on every errant throw or perceived indecision.

T.O. has done all the damage he's going to do with the Eagles.  He's the enemy now and if I were him, I'd be more concerned about what's coming his way on October 8th courtesy of the Eagles defense than what either Donovan McNabb or Andy Reid feels about him.

The book in conjuncture with Hugh's comments this morning basically show that TO infact never properly matured in life.  I would have loved TO to remain an Eagle if and only if things were like they were during the SB run.  However he isn't so I really don't care anymore. 

TO is a Dallas Cowboy and the Cowboys are pooh.  Therefore, TO is just another nut in that turd that I want the Eagles to flush down the drain.

QuoteWAL-MART RELEASED T.O.'S BOOK EARLY

As it turns out, the Philadelphia media got its hands on the tell-all-that-apparently-says-nothing-new penned by T.O. and Jason Rosenhaus not via high-tech sleuthing but because a retailer put the book on the shelf six days early.

Oops.

A source close to the situation tells us that the books were sent out in crates marked "Embargo:  Do Not Open Until July 11," which was the planned release date.  At one or more Philadelphia-area Wal-Mart stores, however, the admonition was disregarded and the book was put on the shelf.

As a result, we're told that publisher Simon & Schuster has given the green light to sell the book right now, notwithstanding the July 11 release date.

The contents of the book have been the hot topic on Philadelphia talk radio.  We're planning to swing by the local bookstore later today to see if we can get our hands on a copy of it (since we're getting kind of low on toilet paper).

I just don't get where people think he has a week psyche the dude has persevered through a lot.  I don't think he ever really let the race thing bother him and I think he uses the draft as motivation.  As far as the TO stuff I can't say that I know how that will play out.  If McNabb was so weak minded 3 seasons ago when he was going through that really tough stretch at the beginning of the season he never would have turned it around.

CSN.com has more details from the book (http://philadelphia.comcastsportsnet.com/view_content_box.asp?ID=33367)

Quote...problems began to develop in the Eagles' overtime victory over the Browns in Week 7. Owens said he had a chance to score a game-winning TD, but McNabb instead threw an incompletion to Todd Pinkston. A disappointed Owens told himself, "it was just a freak incident, an unintentional mistake by the quarterback," and he decided to "leave it alone and not say anything" because he figured it was "a one-time deal."

The Eagles were 7-0, so Owens moved on and "let all be good and well."

Quote"The problem was I was becoming the new favorite son of Philadelphia. The Eagles were no longer the Donovan McNabb show – he had a cohost."

Owens contends he was happy to share the spotlight, but McNabb wasn't. Near the end of the book, Owens reiterates:

"I think that was the root of the problem – Donovan's misperception that I was trying to outdo him."

QuoteOwens admits that McNabb was justified in doing so, saying a leader is supposed to "say the team would still be successful without me."

But 57 pages later, Owens admits he wanted McNabb to apologize for such remarks.

"He never apologized to me for making it seem to the media that I was not important to the team's chances of winning the Super Bowl."
.
.
.
"Looking back at his performance, no matter what has been reported correctly or incorrectly, we all came up short on that team. ... I don't care whether Donovan was tired or not. I cared about him trying his best, and that's what he did."

QuoteOwens was suspended for that week's game in Washington, a 17-10 loss after which McNabb said the Eagles might be better off without Owens.

To which Owens writes:

"So let me get this straight: The offense gets 10 points, has three shots from the taterskin seven-yard line and fails to make the play. The defense puts the offense in position to win and the offense didn't get it done. Yet somehow Donovan concludes that they played well, made plays, and were better without me?"

QuoteOwens and Reid talked, with Owens assuring Reid he would "make things right with Donovan." Owens describes the long phone call, during which Reid said to focus on a person's positive traits.

"He was right. I never let go of Donovan's negatives, and I focused on them, disregarding the fact that he has a very fun, likable personality and wants to win."

Owens could tell Reid was "conflicted and wanted me back" and tried one last time to convince to reinstate him. About an hour later, an apologetic Reid called back with bad news.

"I don't know who he spoke to, but somebody killed it. ... I couldn't believe it. Somebody told him not to take me back."

Owens concludes the team had been forced to choose between him and McNabb.


The Eagles' official statement:

Quote"We were obviously aware the book was going to be released this summer and had a pretty good idea of its contents. But the entire organization is completely focused on the 2006 season. We will continue to keep our eyes looking ahead toward a successful season and keep everything else in the past."

lol right so if a qb missing u on play its by design. and reid wanted him back? reid called him and was apologetic and was actually on his side? mcnabb doesnt control reid.

2ndly i dont see how any of this will effect mcnabbs play on the field....yeah he hasnt gotten us to the big game but a lot of good to great QBs havent....and McNabb for the most part has performed very well for us...so i dont know if the draft or other racial matters ever affected him. i also find it odd how a unusually high # of incidents occur with him.

Post by: hbionic on July 07, 2006, 04:20:48 AM
Retard, its funny you mentioned the number of incidents that have occurred with McNeezie. I was thinking about that today. I was thinking through it all, that its easy to be called a chump and a Hoyda bitch when you don't fight back. But all that McNabb has ever shown is that he's willing to leave it all on the field. Dude's played injured, severely injured more than once. He's played through bigger pain than the average player plays with. I've always been on McNabb's side. We live and die with McNabb. Without McNabb, we don't get to most if any of the NFC Championships. Say what you want, but the guy leads by example and not his mouth. I can't wait for the next moonwalk.

So let me get this straight--McNabb--at least according to Owens--tells him to shut the f*** up in the huddle, and then calls him later in the week to tell him that he runs the team--

But some fans think that McNabb is weak? Sorry, I don't understand that.

As far as Owens "assuring Reid he'd make things right with Donovan"--wasn't the big crux of his suspension upheld was because he told the arbitrator that "I felt I didn't need to apologize to Donovan." I mean, hell, Bloch even said in his statement he felt that Owens was being too arrogant when he made that statement.

If McNabb would have "led" even more, he would have had to smack Owens. He was in a no-win situation. The only other course would have been to stay quiet and let Owens run the team. And generally QBs aren't built for that.

If I were him I'd worry about the fans as much as the Eagles defense. I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls a hammy right before the game...

half the fans still want him on the team

I think you guys are overanalyzing the situation yourselves. Stop it with the mental pressure about a guy thats not on the team. Its a different year. Thats like bringing up Freddie Mitchell again...pointless.

farging sticks and stones from a book hurting a mans psyche a year gone....cmon now


mcnabb is still salty over the draft and the race issue stuff...you think hes gonna drop the TO shtein in less than a year...not gonna happen...plus it doesnt matter if he has dropped it but comes out in week one or two and lays some eggs...thats when the media and fan onlsaught will commence...and mcnabb is not someone who can handle that kind of stuff very well

I just don't get where people think he has a week psyche the dude has persevered through a lot. I don't think he ever really let the race thing bother him and I think he uses the draft as motivation. As far as the TO stuff I can't say that I know how that will play out. If McNabb was so weak minded 3 seasons ago when he was going through that really tough stretch at the beginning of the season he never would have turned it around.

I agree completely. Igy thinks McNabb is a pushover, and has to constantly keep reminding everyone of his opinion in any thread that brings up the Eagle qb.

I just want the season to start so he can show everyone what he is capable of when healthy and shut all those kinds of people up.

I'm not saying I could do any better.  In fact, it's admirable the way he's dealt with MOST things...

But the "black-on-black" crap during Super Bowl week?  Sad.
His ability to run a hurry-up offense or make huge plays when the game's on the line?  Questionable.
The fact that he doesn't tend to take losing seriously and fails to inspire his teammates?  Infuriating.

Donovan has lacked the slight edge needed to go from good to greatness.  I'm not saying it's too late for a spark to get lit under him, because other QB's have certainly peaked even later in their careers... but it sure would be nice if he could have the raw leadership and unflappable quality already - because then the "haters" would be minimal and also have no leg to stand on.

The KC game I chalk up as a fluke. More accurately, it was Reid simply calling passing plays until they worked. But I'm not really sure I give that game to McNabb. The Giants game I will definitely give to McNabb.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone fall all over themselves lauding Brady's performance in the tuck rule game. And I live in New England.

There isn't a QB that I would rather have outside of Brady. But I do believe that there are a group of 5 or so QBs in the NFL right now that fall into that second tier and they are all basically interchangeable. McNabb is firmly entrenched in that group because he can't get over that big-game hump.

Ah... I get it.  When he pulls out a win, it's because there are a whole lot of other factors involved like the defense, the refs, etc. but when he can't do it and the Eagles lose, it all falls on him and it's because he's not clutch.  Perfect example, in the SB... everyone says McNabb "choked" and I've heard tons of people say he single-handedly lost them the game... but no one ever wants to acknowledge the fact that the defense let the Pats score on 4 out of 5 possessions beginning in the 2nd quarter.  No one ever mentions the 20 yards of run support he got from the running game... the next to no time he got from the o-line.  All anyone wants to talk about are the interceptions... which don't get me wrong... are on him and they definitely did some damage to our chances, but it was far from the only factor. Y'na mean?

I'm not saying that McNabb is a "super-awesome crunch-time QB".  What I'm saying is that he gets judged way too unfairly by people who supposedly have extensive knowledge of the game... and that there are 30 other QB's in the league right now that aren't likely to have put us in a better position than McNabb has over the years.

The only QB I think I would take over McNabb would be Tom Brady...Peyton always chokes in the big game and Toothlesburger only got where he is on the back of his defense and running game....

I'm not saying that McNabb is a "super-awesome crunch-time QB".  What I'm saying is that he gets judged way too unfairly by people who supposedly have extensive knowledge of the game... and that there are 30 other QB's in the league right now that aren't likely to have put us in a better position than McNabb has over the years.

Wrong.  I'm judging him very fairly.  I'm explaining what he has to do to become a great QB instead of a very good one.

Basically, if you put his skill with Jake Delhomme's ballsack, you'd have a hell of a QB.  But both of them are only good and not great,  because they lack the complete "gamer" package that the greats over the years have had.

I agree with what others have said - that I probably would not trade Donovan for any QB in the league straight up besides Brady... but I'd have to think really hard about Peyton Manning (also lacks edge, maybe even more so, but has 10 times the accuracy and throwing skill), Matt Hasslebeck, Carson Palmer, Roethlisberger, and even Delhomme.

The combination of McNabb and Reid inspires the Eagles to be "fine".

Settle down... settle down, I'm not talking about you, specifically.  I'm talking about a large portion of the Eagles fan base in general, the supposed experts on TV and in the papers... and morons of that sort.

I wonder how great Delhomme's ballsack would look if he had to literally carry his offense the way McNabb has over the years though.  While we're at it... do you really think that any of those QB's you mentioned could come close to what McNabb has done with the Eagles?

I don't.

I don't.

Delhomme has had a lot of questions at running back, no TE to speak of, and usually one good WR.  All the whining about Donovan "carrying" the offense is obviously moot over the last couple of years, and even before that, he had safety outlets at RB and TE to throw the ball regularly.  Not every QB has two future HoF'rs at WR's and a great running game to fall back on.  I would say with definitive certainty that any of the *great* QB's of the modern era could have done what McNabb did with the same players or better.

how do we know that delhomme hasnt made steve smith a better wr...why is it always automatically assumed that every other qb has weapons and mcnabb doesnt...im not saying the eagle wr's have been great but why cant mcnabb elevate the wr's he gets...great qb's do that...has mcnabb ever turned any of his average wr's into good ones...no he hasnt because the guy isnt a very good passer...and to be a great qb you have to be a good enough thrower to improve the wr's around you...im the first person to say that reid has been an idiot in not getting better wr's...but im also getting tired of hearing how good donovan supposedly is (lol @ better than manning) but never showing that greatness due to the same old wr excuse...plenty of great qb's have never had great wr's

mcnabb over his career has been a good player who has been supported by a great defense a very good offensive line and a infrastructure that has coddled him...but never has he been the player that is going to take your team that extra notch to that championship level...in fact he has held it back from doing that...

if you wanna say brady is the only qb in the league youd take over donovan then ill say there are ten other qb's in the league that would have been to more than one superbowl with the eagles over the past five years and also would have won one

Delhomme is not Chuck Norris, so get off his sack(not directed solely at Pat). He has always had a Mushin Muhhamed or a Steve Smith. McNabb had a happy owens for 1 year and got the SB. Delhomme also had a great D/ running game and also lost to the SuperPats. Delhomme would have had just as much BS if he was a QB in Philly. When the Panthers tank it or just play mediocre he isn't ripped by Steve Smith and called an Uncle Tom by the local Republicans. Negadelphians can keep raising up other QBs and doing the grass is greener crap all day, but we got  great QB and person running our team. He is going to be here for a while so get behind or jump ship.

Smith is a good, steady player who has produced with every QB he's ever played with. Sharpe is a TE. The three amigos were far from great.

Marino - Duper, Clayton, Fryar
This group, more than any of the others you listed was basically made by Marino. He definitely made them what they were, with the possible exception of Fryar who did well everywhere.

Quote
Kelly - Lofton, Andre Reed
Again, Kelly made these two what they were. Lofton was a run-as-fast-as-you-can-in-a-straight-line WR. Reed was a great receiver

Quote
Favre - Sterling Sharpe, Javon Walker, Keith Jackson, Antonio Freeman
Favre made these players better. Freeman? A great WR? Um no. Walker has had one great year. Sharpe and Jackson were great for a few seasons but Favre definitely made all of these guys what they were.

There are some good WRs you listed but there is a very real chance that not a single one of them will ever sniff the Hall of Fame. I wouldn't put any of them in the same 'great player' category as the QBs that were matched with them.

I just can't understand why some of you deny that McNabb does actually have his fair share of shortcomings.  None of us are here saying that winning a Super Bowl would be impossible with him or that he's not a very good QB.  We are saying that if he worked on his mental toughness as much as he played with ropes and beanbags, he might have already won a Super Bowl.  That's about it.

none of these were/are great wr's...

the three amigos
duper
clayton
fryar
walker (could be great one day)
freeman

lofton was great but sucked before he went to buffalo where kelly resurrected his career

reed ill give you but he didnt have any special qualities...and i would argue kelly made him not the other way around

rod smith has had a great career but id hardly classify him as a great wr...

im not gonna argue every last wr that all these qb's had because we will drown in minutia...but if you believe these guys had truly great wr's and were a product of them rather than the other way around then your blind homerism for mcnabb has fully taken your soul

the bottom line is mcnabb has never made a wr great...and i ask....if hes such a great qb...why cant he have made a pinkston thrash or charles johnson into a duper clayton or andre reed...the answer is because he isnt that good...hes not the kind of passer/player/leader who is going to elevate a player to a level better than they are

can mcnabb win a superbowl...probably...look at the people who have done it...but hes not a great qb...not even close...he lacks in to many areas to be one...but thats not whats important to me right now...what im most worried about is his psyche going into this year...and is he going to be able to handle the TO mess from last year that will follow him...and when the going gets tough this year will he hold up...

i think it will all show in the dallas game...honestly do you see mcnabb getting all hyped up and gutter for that game...come out and just take it over and stick it to TO and dallas...im sorry but i dont...i can see him acting like its just another game all week...smiling and joking...saying its one of 16...blah blah blah...but all the time dying inside about it then coming out and laying an egg on game day...afterwards saying how it still was just another game and it didnt bother him...now we have to move on because we have another game next sunday...meanwhile TO will talk ish before during and after getting his team amped up blow up for a couple scores and 100 yards...and say afterwards i told you so...

god i hope im wrong and mcnabb goes bonkers over that game acts like a man stands up gets his team ready and wrecks shop...but i dont see that in him...and thats one of the things he doesnt have and why he will never be one of the greats

basically for this year (and any other) the eagles have to have a defense like they had in 2001-2003...if mcnabb has a d that can carry him then he can win games in this league...but simply put mcnabb cannot carry a team on his back like the above qb's were able to do

You say they never had great receivers but every one of these hall of famers played with either future HOF WR's or very close to it... and I personally never compared McNabb to any of these guys.  I talk about McNabb with the group of QB's who are in the NFL now.  Pulling out HOF QB's to make an argument only strengthens my point more.  Why shtein on a QB that you have to reach for all-time greats to make a favorable comparison?

I totally understand that concept... but I challenge you to give me ONE wide receiver that McNabb has had over his career that any of those QB's could have elevated anywhere near the level of an Andre Reed, Rod Smith or Shannon Sharpe.

McNabb simply needs help around him... something that every "great" QB has had at some point during the height of their respective careers.

McNabb's numbers were unimpressive because he was overrated or just lacked receivers?

His yards and TDs were above average. His completion percentage, which isn't a sexy number but an obviously important one in an offense that relies on the passing game as part of its running game (christ, just typing it makes me want to throw up on myself), was always at or below average for a top QB.

Yes, but his completion percentage is usually pretty close to 60% and when he had a year with him in TO in accord it was well over 60%.  For whatever reason AR and Co have never felt obligated to surround him with premium receivers.  Could you imagine if he were in Indy's or the Moss lead Vikings offense.  Hell, would ever give him the Steelers WR corps and he would put up huge numbers. 

To me Donovan's failures as a player are more reflections of AR as a coach, he often has not played to McNabb's strengths.

and i just cant understand how everyone some how knows mcnabb's problems, his mental toughness, or his over ability to will his team to a victory. the dude has played on a broken ankle, rushed back to make it to the team to play in the playoffs, played thru thumb injuries, a sports hernia....how much more thougher does he need to be? mental toughness? how does anyone know whats going on his head? cause of what TO says? we are to believe TO now?

yeah mcnabb is never a get in ur face type of leader but he doesnt need to be. not every great qb is like that. its not like the recipe to a great QB is having to be a fiery in ur face type of guy.


and igy does mcnabb need to give soundbites during the week leading up to the dallas game for you to think this game is more to him than just another game? u really want a player to come out and basically admit this game means more than others. we all know all players have certain games or teams they play against and have it mean more but publicly admitting it? u dont think the rest of the team will be up for it anyway? what would u have mcnabb do? act like a ass? act like TO? say crap about him? i really dont get this line of thinking...if anything if they do lose i would want the mentality that yeah ok it was 1 game and we can move and thats what we will do.  ill admit TO brought attitude to this whole team but when u have WRs like pinkston and thrash any attitude will do.  what happens if we beat dallas? u want mcnabb to act like TO and gloat and go on tv and talk more crap. i dont know i rather not have mcnabb ever do that.

2ndly about the WRs...its a combination...McNabb can work with limited talent and i think at the same time McNabb isnt amazing enough to elevate just anyones game. torrence small? johnson? thrash? pinkston? these guys could barely beat bump and run coverage and u expect Mcnabb to elevate their games? maybe the HOF QBs can but ill gladly admit McNabb is either not that good or not there yet. McNabb has other flaws as in when he holds on to the ball too much sometimes instead of taking off or when he throws at ppl's feet. i dont think even the biggest McNabb fan would claim him to be the best.

at the same time look at the WRs your claiming he should have elevated the games off. Thrash is 3rd or worse on the depth chart in washington. torrence small and johnson were nothing special b4 they came here...while they were here...and after they left here. pinkston is afraid to catch the ball sometimes and i doubt would start for any team no matter how great thier WR is.

so is steve smith a product of delhomme or vice versa? prolly both but i think ppl are giving way too much credit to QBs  in the case of some of the better WRs out there.

OK so McNabb is a descent enough QB who requires the right weapons to be successful because he's not good enough to make an average receiver great.... So what!
Why hasn't the coaching staff gone out and gotten teh awesome receiver for the offense to build around? We have teh awesome running back receiver who can't run between the tackles and teh awesome receiving TE who can't block and likes to fumble. Then we have teh one dimensional Pinkston who is good at running down the field really really fast if no one breathes on him. We have Reggie Brown with all that potential and a flash of talent but who really knows what will happen. That new guy Gaffney who might be good. Not sure as he's never had a QB with enough time to get the ball off.

There are a lot of problems with the Eagles offense. McNabb is one of the few areas that we can say we're solid. In the NFC East I'd take McNabb over Eli, Brunnel and Bledsoe. Nothing is perfect nor is it going to be. If I were the Eagles I'd work on other areas of the offense...

i dont know if this belongs in this thread but i must say the football pundits are just as guilty of always buying into this "TO will change" banter. during the sportscenter nfl depth chart rankings any time dallas was brought or TO all i would hear was that drew doesnt take crap from anyone (which is funny since TO claims McNabb was a bully who cusses him out) and how TO will blossom in Dallas". its similar to some of the stuff i became accustomed to hearing 2 offseasons ago and what really made me favor my view as being pro TO...as b4 the signing and the training camp i was very against bringing him to the eagles.

now the dallas fans are listening to this. they hear merril hodge and sean salisbury.....2 asses who have no qualifications to be experts at anything tell the fanbase how amazing he will be and wont have trouble in big D. yet these same pundits will turn around and blame the dallad front O, make fun of the decision of signing TO, and basically come off as never having supported the move in the first place.


why do these idiots get a free pass? is espn not able to find real experts? ppl who actually have some credibility?

Skip finally comments on the book (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=bayless/060717)

QuoteT.O.'s Book an Instant Classic
By Skip Bayless
Page 2

I was wrong about Terrell Owens. He's a great guy.

(Wait, I didn't say that. I was misquoted. I said "right" and "bad," but my ghostwriter, Casper, wrote "wrong" and "great." Idiot. I just fired him.)

Sorry.

I had promised myself I would ignore Terrell Owens' latest book, but when I finally stopped laughing over the weekend, I just couldn't help myself. Maybe he's so much smarter than most media members -- especially me -- that he made this statement at a Friday book signing just to generate more publicity for his ... I'm sorry, this thing doesn't deserve to be called a book.

It's just 242 pages of I'm-always-right-and-everybody-I-ever-come-into-contact-with-is-out-to-get-me.

Including, even, his agent's younger brother? Next question! Drew Rosenhaus' brother Jason apparently recorded hour upon hour of Owens' appalling self-delusion, then transcribed it and broke it into chapters.

Yet -- and are you sitting? -- Owens claims Jason misquoted him when Owens "writes" of his recovery from a broken leg to play in the Super Bowl: "If you'll forgive me for saying so ... nothing short of heroic."

Now Owens says: "It was one of the words Jason used. I can't say that I called it heroic."

Stop the presses! Terrell Owens, worried he'll come off as immodest? If so, what did he call it? Nothing short of OK?

No.

Knowing Owens, he was offended that Jason chose not to use his word -- probably "miraculous," maybe "godlike." For once, Jason probably tried to save Owens from himself -- Terrell from T.O. But of course, Owens was too busy missing Dallas Cowboys minicamps to proofread the final version.

So, despite the "author's" early promise in the book -- "These are my words, straight from me to you" -- Owens publicly blames his ghostwriter for changing a word.

So T.O.: He'll even blame his agent's brother for messing up the book that people in Dallas are lining up to buy!

Buckle your chinstraps, Dallas. The battle continues to rage within this team wrecker -- Terrell vs. his alter ego. T.O. is one of the most arrogantly confident players in sports. Terrell is one of the most insecure. But Terrell always wins out and begins pointing fingers because he wants to be able to blame someone else if he fails.

He'll even stoop to publicly ridiculing his agent's brother, his ghostwriter.

In San Francisco, it was Jeff Garcia's and Steve Mariucci's fault. In Philadelphia, it was Donovan McNabb's and Andy Reid's fault. In Dallas, it will be ?

I cannot wait for football season.


And that's why I cannot blame Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for taking the plunge on Terrell Eldorado Owens. Jerry's desperate. He's paying Bill Parcells top dollar, and he isn't getting much playoff bang for his buck. After three years in Dallas, Parcells is 0-1 in the postseason. Yep, just one playoff game, a 29-10 loss at Carolina that ended his first season.

So Jerry forced Owens right down the throat Parcells was clearing. I have a better chance of coaching Terrell Owens than his-way-or-the-highway Parcells does, and Owens has called me names that would make Marco Materazzi blush.

But Parcells has had three years of chances. Now it's Owens' turn. Either Parcells can -- for the first time in his coaching career -- keep saying, "You're right, T.O." Or he can walk.

If Parcells can't get Jerry back to the Super Bowl for the first time since January 1996, Jerry at least will return to the spotlight. By signing the guy who first put himself on the map by shaming the Texas Stadium star, Jerry has again made his Cowboys the center of the NFL universe. No training camp will attract more media than Cowboys camp -- and they've failed to make the playoffs the last two years!

That's T.O. I admit it: I'm addicted to Team Obliterator.

Of course, reporters will gather like vultures because they'll await the first shot Owens takes at Parcells or quarterback Drew Bledsoe or even Jerry Jones. Owens can't help himself. You know he'll begin camp by saying he's finally found true happiness with a team that respects him. Then ?

I'm sorry, I can bfalady tpepe -- barely type -- because I can't quit laughing.

He "writes" in his "book" that an unnamed Eagles offensive coach warned him before Philadelphia's game at Pittsburgh in 2004 to be supportive of McNabb because he can "get nervous and tight in big games." That one was pretty big. The Eagles were 7-0, the Steelers 6-1.

Yet once the Steelers took control, Owens made a big show on the sideline of appearing to lecture McNabb, who kept trying to walk away as Owens followed. Supportive? No, Owens wanted to show the media and fans that he was trying to tell the quarterback what he did wrong and why he should be better than this.

Of course, Owens hadn't exactly been running wide open all afternoon. But he can be as shrewd as he can be thick-headed. He smelled blood: his "soulmate," Donovan's. And he was subtly shifting the blame onto the quarterback who had lost three straight NFC title games.

Yet at least McNabb -- without Owens -- had lifted his team into three straight title games. And without the injured Owens, McNabb would win the NFC on his fourth try.

But with Owens, you just can't win.

Yet that's the blessed irony of his "book." It manages to vindicate McNabb! Publicly, McNabb always came off like the guy who was just too nice to punch the bully T.O. in his big mouth. Publicly, McNabb kept taking it and taking it from Owens without taking a stand. Publicly, it looked like McNabb was losing the respect of his team.

Yet poor Owens "writes" that in the huddle, McNabb told him to "shut the (bleep) up."

Good for McNabb! Wish we'd known that then.

Poor Owens "writes" that McNabb called him at home to tell him this was his team.

Good for McNabb! Wish we'd known that then.

Prediction: With McNabb healthy and in charge again, the Eagles will finish with a better record than T.O.'s Cowboys.

But don't tell that to poor Cowboys fans right now. They're so desperate, they're a little delusional, too.
The Associated Press quoted a high school football player from the Dallas area who was reading the "book" as he waited in line for Owens to autograph it.

The kid said he had just finished a book on Roger Staubach and that, "I'll read anything that has to do with football leadership."

Please tell me the kid was misquoted.

its f-in amazing thats this guys face still makes the front page of the Inquirer, like the writers truly want this season to be a disaster with more and more questions about the past. They are like the black dude on the movie Cant Hardly Wait...."you rememer the time...."

give it up already, get creative for christs sake and start asking questions about real Eagles players.....like Koy Detmer

T.O.'s taking a bath on his house in Moorestown! (http://pod01.prospero.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&tsn=41&tid=858&webtag=kr-phillytm)

Read all about it.

I think you need to stop swinging from T.O.'s awkwardly-undersized johnson.  Eagles fans are allowed to have mixed feelings of occasional hatred for him, and you're not the boss of any of us.  Shut up.

Do you guys need to go into time-out? Maybe take a juice-box break? Go get your binkies and lay down and FF will get you some Juicy Juice.

Actually liking a Sunny Delight product AND referring to it as the quasi-hip "SunnyD" should be grounds for an immediate banning.

Juicy Juice for all!

I did want to add that I'm a real estate appraiser by profession and I find it extremely hilarious that the knucklehead is going to lose millions on a house that was severely overpriced to begin with.

That has nothing to do with T.O.  I just enjoy it when rich people lose millions because of arrogance and ignorance.

:yay

Yes, that's probably grape Kool-Aid.  Which is also better than anything made by Sunny Delight.

It takes a man of zero intelligence and zero backbone to accuse another man of being gay in a televised interview. Wow, I had forgotten how much I actually hate TO. Thanks for the reminder, IGY.

You're obviously obsessed with T.O., and therefore, IGY has some sort of back-assed argument to make with you.
