Eagles working to trade TO?

[JTrotter Fan]

Too bad they won't trade Ashley Lelie to us for TO.  At least it'd be something in return besides a 4th round pick or whatever they want to give up.

[Zanshin]

The Broncos...well, there's a shocker.

[rjs246]

I don't particularly want Ashlie Lelie but like I've said a million times, if the Eagles get ANYTHING for him, I'll be stunned, so Lelie would count as something.

TO, Rosenpuke and Shanahan sit down and talk

Here's all you need to know:

Beyond confirming the meeting, Rosenhaus declined to comment.

Next Qustion!!

"If somebody handles himself the right way they could come into the organization, but they're going to have to live by the standards we practice," Shanahan said.

  Put the pipe down Mike.  And while you're at it, confiscate this guy's pipe too. ....

Some veterans, most notably center Tom Nalen, told The Denver Post they could see a scenario in which Owens could be absorbed into the Broncos locker room.

"If it would work anywhere, I think it would work here because of the guys in the locker room," Nalen said. "Guys would keep him straight ... I think he'd conform. He'd fit in here. He'd fit into any offense. He's a great player."

Remember these comments?

"To be somewhere where I'm happy and I'm wanted. Somewhere where they're giving me my respect and giving me what I deserve. If I weren't performing at a high level, I wouldn't ask or feel that I deserve more than I'm worth. You put hard work in, you expect to get something in return. That's how I see it."

Denver?

With Jake Plummer throwing ground balls all day long??

Buwah!

Good luck, Crackbaby.  I hope that mountain air does wonders for your many, many personalities.

Any team dumb enough to use a first-day pick on Maurice Clarett...

[The BIGSTUD]

They are going to make the same mistake as the Eagles. Meet with him to get on the same page.

TO can't be controlled. He's going to blow up, and they are too naive to see it. I don't give a damn whether he goes there or not. The only circumstance that I will care is if the Broncos wanted to trade for him. If not, and he becomes a free agent, then see ya.

The TO Luvfest is starting

It's kind of funny because at first, a bunch of people were saying they didn't want him.  Then it turned to "Well, as long as he plays well." and then it became "We have a strong enough locker room to keep him in check."  From there it was "TO will get us to the next level." and ultimately people started photoshopping pics of him in Broncos jerseys and lining up to have his man babies. 

TO to Denver would be a good fit.  The Donkey's emblem would be a good fit for the biggest jackass in the NFL.

TO=GQ's Most Hated Athlete

It's funny and more than a little sad to read some of that.  It's almost like a carbon copy of what was written here and other Eagles message boards nearly two years ago.

Looking back, I can't believe how desperate we (and by we I mean me mostly) were to believe that he was the answer to our prayers.

It was kind of a "Fool me once' thing when he came to Philly imo.  The 9ers were a floundering franchise, his QB sucked and he was the most talented reciever in the game.  So we Eagles fans bought into it.  We knew the type of competitor he was on the field and we figured his personality "defects" were simply the product of a poor working environment. 

Couple that with the fact that the Eagles were desperate for a reciever and yeah, we were willing to believe anything.  And I think that's ok.  Desperation will do that to ya. 

But the fact that Denver fan is drooling over him is going to turn into a "Fool me twice" deal. 

I'd tell them to learn from the Eagles mistakes.  But truth be told, I want to see the organization, players and fans all open their arms up wide for TO just so he can bend them over and farg them without even giving them a reach around. 

Denver fans are the AFC's version of Cowboys fans and I hope they choke to death on TO's wang.

Wonder if TO watched Plummer's AFC Championship performance?

He was watching a non-stop loop of his boost mobile commercial.  Still is actually.

Response of a Denver fan on another board I visit:

I don't know if Shanahan has that ability or not. It's a good veteran clubhouse, though.

As far as Plummer goes, I've never been a big fan, but he improved this year over previous seasons. With a better running game (another big need), Owens, and an upgrade at tight end, they might have a shot to be as good next year as they were this year.

The Broncos are in desperate need of a top notch wide receiver, and that's what Owens is.

I'd roll the dice on him.

My answer:

You, sir, are a fool. I lived through this saga for 2 years. 1st year -- great. Then all the shtein happened. We (Philly fans) had the same dillusions of grandeur and the abilty to tame the wild beast that you Bronco fans are having now. Unless he a) fires Ro$enpuke, b) gets treatment and medication for his obvious mental issues, and 3) signs for incentives only based on performance AND behavior, he will bring you headaches and woe.

That said -- I hope Denver antes up and trades for him. Philly gets something for whatthey were getting rid of anyway, AND he is not only out of the division, butthe conference as well. Philly doesn't play Denver for another four years except on the off-chance they meet in the Superbowl. So, no chance to get effed by him on the revenge-meter.

And his retort:

I'm a fool, eh?

I don't harbor any illusions about what kind of guy he is. In his first season in Philly he helped them get to the superbowl, and then everything imploded. I'd sell out to get to the superbowl next year then let the chips fall where they may. The Broncos aren't a real young team. It's not my concern how bitter philly fans are.

Poor people.  They are already disallusioned....

What do you mean 'me' white man? We all farging did...and he pretty much was....'cept for a bad defensive game plan, a farg up by tito and a turnovers on our part (credit their D too)...he was The One...but we just didn't know how big a bitch he was!
