T.O. suspended by the Eagles, official thead.

I can't believe nobody is upset with the hatchet job ESPN did with that interview. That is F'in pathetic. PATHETIC.

Because its expected. Nothing is shocking anymore.

[DoMeGood]

Really? That's sad for society that we have come to expect so little from supposed news reporters and journalists.

Do you forget how they butchered the coverage of when TO was coming to philly?

[DoMeGood]

I don't watch sportcenter or any ESPN news programming. I do on occassion listen to a couple of their radio shows, but this is maddening. They ripped apart his statements to make him look completely stupid and idiotic...and the dude doesn't need any help. If you take them within the context of the interview and questioning it was pretty obvious the intent was to get inflammatory remarks from TO and then butcher them into something news worthy.

[ice grillin you]

they didnt butcher anything...they played mostly the negative stuff on air...but they didnt in anyway change what TO said...


btw its all starting to come out as far as how much negative impact TO had in the lockeroom...suzy kolber just reported that brian westbrrok told her that it was a locker room divided...trotter and dawk both said what reid did lifted a huge weight off the team...i had said all along this kind of stuff would pour out of the locker room at the end of the year...guess its happening sooner...sounds as if theres no possible way TO can make his way back in this locer room again

isnt "ESPN" short for Entertainment & Sports Network?

if so, no mention of news in the title. nor should they ever be relied upon for news.

i very rarely post here, but i've been reading A LOT on here lately and had to get shtein off my chest...

TO IS GOD (and the rest of the delusional TO apologists), you really don't understand football. i'm sorry. you just don't.

TO completely wrecked this team's chemistry and created division and mistrust that was affecting the team's cohesiveness. TO destroyed the team's ability to function as ONE unit. football is rarely won with talent alone. the teams that succeed do so because they're able to move as one unit. It's obvious to everyone but you that TO was totally ruining the team's esprit de corps. The team has to come first, and without TO, the team will play better.

To use the war analogy, TO is like the foot soldier that breaks rank. he may look glorious on the battlefield at times, but leaves everyone else around him vulnerable.

[WEST is GOD]

You have no clue what you are talking about. You have NO PROOF, NONE that TO wrecked the chemistry of the team. Yes, the team is playing poorly, but that could be for a number of reasons. So you have NO PROOF.

The only proof is that TO puts up great numbers, catches like 5 times the TDs, yards and catches of every receiver we have combined, and is a major weapon.

So I have proof and facts, and you bring simply speculation.

I win.

[General_Failure]

Neither of you wins. Do I really need to tell you why?

go here and look at the most sophisticated statistical measure in existence of a WR's value to his team...

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/wr.php

TO is the 13th-best WR in the league this year, according to footballoutsiders. look who are higher... santana moss and terry glenn. so does that mean the eagles automatically lose to the foreskins and cowgirls? what part of "The team with the most talented WR doesn't automatically win every week" don't you understand?

i cant wait to see what skip bayless has to say about this.

The team with the most talented WR doesn't automatically win, but rather a team with a great WR is better than the same team without one.

[General_Failure]

That's totally why we smoked the Patriots in the Superbowl. High five, buddy!

[Mad-Lad]

you may as well change your name to "GOD GOT SUSPENDED"
