no not necessarily...no one has seen him on the practice field

but he could be inside getting treatment for an injury...or maybe even given the day off for an undisclosed reason

He's flying some TastyKakes & Little Debbie Nutty Bars down to them.

He said that twice and twice Banner has refuted that claim.

What a shock....he's a liar....

Quote from: TO in Jacksonville on 2/1/05Owens said he did not sign a waiver to release the team of any medical liability for allowing him to play.

It's incredible that Drew is allowing TO to hang himself on national TV like that.

I was mostly amazed that TO said, when asked whether he can have success with McNabb in this environment:

Quote"I don't think so and I'm just being honest."

Then why the farg would your employer want to give you a raise when you are unable to be productive with the key employee in your workplace? Will he like McNabb if he gets more money?

I'm glad I was at a bar and couldn't hear all of this shtein. I probably would have hurled someon through a window. Did he really say all of this shtein? Does anyone actually think that he'll play for the Eagles again? Christ.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

Also, it was really classy of Owens to make an analogy between him wanting more money and the strength displayed by his dying grandmother.

in his head, that analogy makes sense.  that is what's so disturbing.

Schlereth and Salisbury ripped him apart last night.  Salisbury said that the halftime interview was the most irritating,embarassing, childish piece of crap he's ever seen....

You're right. It wasn't a calculated PR stunt. Owens wouldn't use his grandmother that way. He really believes it's a legitimate analogy.

I need to vent, and if any of this has been said before, I don't care.

Am I the only one who felt like I was watching Jerry McGuire last night? What right did Rosenhaus have being there during the interview? Didn't he say on Wednesday that this issue was between TO and Andy? So, what the hell was he doing there? All he was doing was instigating TO into saying more detrimental things about anything and anybody. On top of that, this interview was not meant to discuss TO's contract - it was for the purpose of clearing the air; letting us, the fans know what is going on. Instead, as usual his selfish disposition took over once again, and turned what could have been his last chance to make nice into another negative angle in an increasingly devastating off season.

Furthermore, how can he say he feels betrayed and heartbroken? He'll never understand what he's doing to Eagles fans who took him in because right now, I feel heartbroken and I certainly feel betrayed. And what about Donovan? This guy vouched for him ten ways till Tuesday about the "Real TO" and not even a year later, he has enough egg on his face to make TO a heart-healthy greed omelette. I feel terrible for McNabb - he deserves so much better than this, and all the while he still goes about himself with class - even when it would be so easy to start taking shots; justifiable shots at TO. 

Its such a shame that its come down to this. The only resolution right now is to suspend him indefinitely, with the intention of keeping the suspension active until he shows the maturity to come back as a professional. In other words, I want him out of here. If he continues this path, its going to ruin this team and it could ruin McNabb as well. Everything that Reid and Banner has built can come crumbling down now if this goes any further. At this point, were a better team without him.

Ill never root so hard for this team as I will this year - I want a ring now even worse, just to prove to everyone that we don't need this cancer to win. It was great while it lasted but there's only so far you can go when you're dealing with children. Luckily, McNabb is man enough for the both of them.

I for one am hoping Florio is correct.  Suspend/deactivate him for every game, thereby forfeiting his paycheck.  Get back as much of the SB as possible and use it to extend Lewis and Westbrook.  If he loses a year of eligibility from the season long suspension, even better.  Repeat as necessary until he's too old to play.  farg TO.
Anyone but Reid.
