I know TO is pretty much old news but it is still funny, and kinda pathetic

Terrell Owens Could Face Jail Time For Atlanta Child Support Case

For a moment, Last weekend, Terrell Owens was in the "spotlight" as he started his new job with the Allen (Tex.) Wranglers Indoor Football League team, but now it's being said that Owens might be heading to jail over an Atlanta child support case.On Friday, the Fulton County contempt of court petition, which was filed by Melanie Paige Smith, says that Owens owes $5,000 for each of the months, December, January, February, and March.A Fulton County judge ordered the payments for support of the couple's daughter back in 2007.In a letter to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Smith's attorney, Randall Kessler said, "he has not indicated if he ever plans to send another penny for their daughter". The attorney added, "We plan to ask the court to send a strong message, given that he has only paid support in the last 10 months after a contempt action has been filed against him".Smith is one of several women seeking child support from the former NFL wide receiver.

Stevie Johnson got paid big time by the Bills.

5 Yrs/$36.3M with $19.5M guaranteed.

Paging Mr. Rosenhaus...

His numbers over the last 2 years are better than DeSean's too, so maybe this will help with a long term contract getting done. I have to believe Johnson's contract is closer to what the Eagles are thinking for Jackson than what Rosenhaus is.

[ice grillin you]

the fact that johnson got this done so easily tells me it the eagles holding up a deal not rosenrosen....it think howies reluctance to sign pimp to a long term deal is the issue here

[Eagaholic]

If it were me, I'd just let DeSean play under the tag this year anyway. It's a lousy market to try and trade him and a couple of WRs may well go in the top half of the 1st round. And not to mention who will replace him.

See where his heart and his head are really at. If he stays healthy and plays well then give him the good contract he deserves, maybe before the end of the season. I understand them not wanting to commit big money to him now. I don't know what their cap will look like next year though if they want to re-sign him and Shady.

[ice grillin you]

yeah making someone play out a franchise tag is a brilliant way to see where their head and heart is at...that could be about the dumbest thing they could do

either you want him long term or you dont...andy does howie doesnt...well see who wins this power struggle...but whichever way it goes either lock him up or get rid of him

[reese125]

It's definitely Roseman holding this up. Rosenhaus can try and sell him till he's blue in the face that Desean is one of the top wideouts in the league, but all you have to do is watch the tape and look at the injury report. Defenses already have a beat on Jackson.

I actually think giving him the 1 year deal is the way to go because if Jackson wants any kind of security, big time money deal he better play his ass off this year. See if he really wants to be in Philly. If he doesnt play his ass off, hes right back in the same boat trying to score a middle of the road deal with another team. If that's the case (which I think will happen)-peace--have fun in Frisco.

[ice grillin you]

very few players play their ass off on the franchise tag...many hold out which throws their season off from the jump and the ones who do play thru it def dont give their all as one injury could ruin their career and future earning potential...especially a player like pimp who has had the concussion and is tiny...you damn well be sure he isnt putting himself out there at all costs

the eagles fortunately have been very good about not having players play on the tag

which is why in the end everyone would be surprised if he actually plays out the tag as thay is not something either the team or pimp wants and is in the best interest of no one

[reese125]

You really think he's going to go 2 seasons in a row of the hold out bullshtein? I don't. He doesn't have a leg to stand on this time so he better play his ass off.

He was already quoted before the tag as saying he's perfectly fine with the tag. He was more pissed last season because he was playing for chump change. Now he's at 9+ million, he can invest in a car wash and play some ball with a diff mind set. Like I said, if he goes out there and half asses it, he kills his value even more.

[ice grillin you]

of course hes gonna say hes fine with the tag in january...its all PR

lol at thinking if he doesnt give his all THIS year then hes really in trouble...he already took a season off and got rewarded with a franchise tag...but dont do it again or you are really in trouble!

the eagles dont wanna pay almost 10 mil to someone they may not get a full year of effort out of and pimp doesnt wanna play on another one year deal...however the franchise tag allows the eagles to not lose him for nothing....im not saying its impossible that it would happen but i would be very surprised if he either doesnt get a long term deal from the eagles or hes moved

again its something that neither sides wants and it will be avoided at all costs

[Diomedes]

Now he's at 9+ million, he can invest in a car wash and ...

lol

Peyton Manning to be released:

They were set on Luck months ago.  Manning's due $28M and he might not even play a snap in 2012.

Probably the least surprising news of the offseason.

Dan Snyder might just be stupid enough to go after him and ignore RG III.

Get.
