Hugh and TO in fight

[BigEd76]

Hugh will be on CBS3's sports show tonight to explain things in more detail.  He wouldn't talk to Action News because of "contractual obligations"... 

[MDS]

im sure everyone will be watching a show on during the eagles game.

[BigEd76]

Depends on the Packers game.  It may not be on until midnight...

[Reidme]

I've heard WiP callers and hosts joke about Douglas laying out TO before this. Everytime someone mentions "someone should knock out TO" I always throw it out there that it may not be as easy as all that. The dude is big, and in better shape than anyone I've ever seen. I still think someone should have given it a shot, then they could have helped him up and got back to playing football. That's how it works in the movies anyway ....

Man, what drama this year... Wonder who brought the steel chair to the fight.

[Beermonkey]

Hahahahaha! Larry Johnson stiffed you bitches!!  Hahahahahaha!

HAHHHAAHAHHAHAH TO stiffed you bitches!
Then bitched slapped the whole team!

At least we got some production out of him...not to mention he's not a pothead.  Loser!

What did you get out of him? a SB loss?

And the Raiders got what out of Moss so far?   

They were 3-6 at this point last year & 3-5 this year. So much for that vaunted offense with Jordan & Moss.

DGunn sez:  Hugh slammed TO onto a table and Trotter/Dawkins broke it up.  No punches landed...

Hugh on CSN talking about TO:  "I apologize to my former teammates and to the city of Philadelphia ...but... he needs help".

Hugh joined the jackass crew!

Douglas apologetic about run-in with T.O.

At just after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Hugh Douglas went on the radio from Chickie's & Pete's in South Philadelphia with WIP host Anthony Gargano, to begin a 4-hour shift that would lead up to the Eagles-taterskins game.

There was some applause, and some boos. Douglas just smiled. When Terrell Owens is involved, it's never cut and dried.

Just before he talked to the peeps across the Delaware Valley, Douglas spoke about the situation that hit national TV around midday and was first reported in the Trenton Times. Namely, that the former defensive end turned team ambassador and maybe the best wide receiver in the NFL had traded punches last week in the Birds' training room.

"It's not true," said Douglas, who said on air that there were no punches landed. "It wasn't as big as everyone is trying to make it out to be, it really wasn't.

"The sad part about the situation is, it got to this point, whatever happened. And I apologize for it."

He would apologize again, during the show's first break.

"This is not what you want kids to see. I would like to apologize to my former teammates and the city of Philadelphia," he said, "because this situation, it goes beyond football. It's just sad, and it's obvious [Owens] needs counseling."

Then he addressed the state of the team.

"It's still solid," Douglas insisted. "It's not over with. There's still a chance that they can right this ship and get things going. He's a great receiver, but he's also a troubled soul. Something's not right."

And where do the Birds go from here? Is Owens still a part of their future?

"That's not my call," Douglas explained. "Whatever 'Big Red' [coach Andy Reid] wants to do, I stand behind him."

So what about Donovan McNabb's role in the recovery process?

"You have to ask Donovan that question," he hedged. "I'm not a mind reader. I really don't know what he does at this point. I'm pretty sure he knows he has to take the reins and get it going."

During the show, Gargano asked Douglas about criticism being levied on leaders of the team for not confronting Owens as a group.

"Most of the leaders on the team felt that T.O.'s a grown man and he needed to handle himself accordingly," Douglas said. "But it was a situation where we didn't know how crazy this man was, you know what I mean? We just didn't know how many issues this man had and it just got out of hand. I think everybody was sitting around like, 'Wow, I didn't know this man was this crazy.' "
