[MadMarchHare]

If that's the only criteria, all weathermen should lose their's too....

[QB Eagles]

so what happens after the Green Bay game....

After his suspension, TO will be deactivated for the rest of the season.

Perfect:

""The finding is that the club has shouldered its burden of proof of clear and convincing evidence of player misconduct in that the four-week suspension was for just cause," Bloch wrote in his decision. "Additionally, there was no inherent violation of the labor agreement in the club's decision to pay Owens but not practice or play him due to the nature of the player's conduct and its destructive and continuing threat to the team."

They'll go ahead and Keyshawn him.  He'll probably file another grievnace, but tough shtein.  All they have to do is drag this out for another few weeks.

I'm starting to like the idea of cutting him just before the season is over and letting some zesty team pick him up on waivers.

Farg you, TO!!  Ha!

Arbitrator Richard Bloch wrote in a 38-page decision that the Eagles clearly proved that the suspension was justified, and were within their right to pay their All-Pro receiver but not allow him to return "due to the nature of his conduct and its destructive and continuing threat to the team."

"We couldn't have written it any better ourselves," an Eagles official told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.

Banner, Reid, and Lurie all rule.  Rule, I say.

Isn't it public?

Congratulations all. I kind of figured it would turn out like this. I guarantee you that the front office was planning for something like this almost since he started running his mouth after the SB. They probably documented every detail of every incident, giving them indisputable evidence of his misconduct, public and private. It worked out pretty well coming to a head after the trade deadline so he couldn't start demanding to be traded as well.

Forget chemo and radiation, go in and cut that sucker out. You might have a healing process and some therapy, but you'll be back on your feet again before you know it.

Kind words EJ...kind words. I wish I could wish you good luck...but you know.

What he means is "Thanks, but we'd still like your team to meet a firey end in a large lake of napalm."

...in not so many words.
