like sands thru an hourglass so are the days of TO's life

Eh the way I see it, Andy Reid didn't TO getting all the negative media attention during the season, such as the Nicole Sheridan incident, so he told him to go out and get as much attention as possible now, before the season started.  TO is in heaven right now, with the way the media was eating up his workout session on his front yard.  Hopefully Dawk and Trotter bring him to he senses.  As long as he's catching lots of TDs, and the Eagles are winning, I really don't care what going on off the field.  Mcnabb and TO could be mortal enemies for all I care, as long as they get it done on the field...

One of the guys on WIP said today how much do you want to bet that TO shows up at the Ravens/Falcons game tonight...looks like he was right.

I just laughed out loud reading this article...funny stuff:

Bob Ford | No mellow drama when turbulent T.O. returns
By Bob Ford
Inquirer Columnist

Well, it's a new week for the Philadelphia Eagles, and I don't know about you, but I think it will be hard for them to top the last one.

It isn't every training-camp week in which the star receiver can tell the head coach to shut up, call the quarterback a hypocrite, and then continue his training regimen on the worst-looking lawn in Moorestown.

Of course, for Terrell Owens, who has starred in these dramas before, it was pretty much like any other week in the distant land of Like I Care.

If all goes according to plan - you mean someone in this thing has a plan? - Owens will return to the Eagles on Wednesday at the NovaCare training facility. Regardless of how his actions last week were received, Owens was able to cut several days off his stay in Bethlehem, Pa. For anyone who thinks he's crazy, I offer that as contradictory evidence. Michelangelo could have painted the Sistine Chapel in two days up there.

Owens is scheduled to return to practice with the team and, oh, my, this is going to attract attention from television, radio, newspapers, wire services, magazines, Web sites, bloggers, streaming audio obtainers, still photographers, film producers, national sportscasting talents who wear shorts with the tie and blazer and still think that's hip, book agents, satellite-radio yakkers, music impresarios, still more Web sites, and a bunch of people who arrive late because the media parking lot is overflowing and the cops are towing cars on Pattison Avenue.

And this mauling, moldering mob will move like a roving dust mop around the facility, jam the locker room, haunt the practices, and wait impatiently for the next nut to fall on the car hood.

All in all, it should be entertaining.

It will, in fact, be much more entertaining than what you will watch tonight when the Eagles open the exhibition season in Pittsburgh. Any NFL team that enters a game, even a meaningless game, with none of its top three wide receivers from the previous season is playing a difficult hand.

Maybe the Eagles would be able to pull this off for an entire season, but that isn't the way to bet. Something has to give, and this is the week we begin to find out what will give first.

Anyone who has watched this organization operate like a canning factory for the last six seasons can guess what might happen.

Owens will come back - fatigues, shades, backward ball cap, headphones - and he will be summoned at some point to Headmaster Reid's office and will be told that he must smile; talk; bond; answer "Here" promptly at all team meetings; say "Hey, Brad," if offensive coordinator Brad Childress should happen to say "Hey, Terrell"; and, in general, begin to act like those great teammates back at BYU who maybe weren't the most talented but were all darned good guys who flew around like crazy out there and really got after it.

Ill words will follow, and Owens will be either waived, traded or put on some little-known Voluntary Failure to Talk List that Joe Banner just invented on the spot. Either way, Owens will be gone, and a nation will turn its lonely eyes to Reggie Brown and Justin Jenkins.

Now, before we get to that place - and it will be a very scary place, indeed - maybe it's time to consider a once-popular question that fell sharply out of favor last week:

Why can't this thing with Owens still work?

Let him come back and don't talk to him, either. Silently dare him to live up to his promise to play hard and play well on the field this season.

I mean, really, you like it better when he's talking?

When it comes down to it, even Owens, and even his agent, Johnny Brain Surgeon, will realize that this might be the final free-agent season of the receiver's career, if they choose to see it that way.

If he has a good year, he will either be able to sign with the highest bidder or he will get his approximately $8 million third-year salary from the Eagles, which will buy you a lot of lawn care at the age of 32.

It beats sitting out this season, and it beats killing the courage of the last three NFL general managers who might still take a chance on him.

Let him come in. Let him continue to sulk like a 12-year-old. Let him catch 80 balls for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns. Hey, it could happen.

I know, I know. He told the head coach to shut up and called the quarterback a hypocrite.

So what?

If that came from someone who had the respect of the locker room, it might be a problem. But it came from Terrell Owens, who is viewed by his teammates as nothing more than a comical wack job these days. Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb probably have more support from the team than they did before. Owens is bringing people together, just like he always said he wanted.

That's the plan. Don't ask, don't answer. See you in Detroit.

And, anyway, next week would be so boring without him.

When approached by reporters after practice, Walker seemed amused by the attention. After saying "no comment" several times, Walker started to laugh.

"I sound like T.O., don't I?" Walker said, referring to his friend, Philadelphia Eagles receiver Terrell Owens. Walker then fell to the ground and started doing sit-ups, as Owens did in front of reporters at his home last week

Any guesses on who the first NFL player who will imitate TO's front-yard workout (curls/situps) after scoring a TD against the Eagles this year?
