Terrell Owens
Eagles say Owens won't return this season
By ROB MAADDI, AP Sports Writer
November 7, 2005
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Terrell Owens can take his touchdowns and dance somewhere else.
The tempestuous star receiver won't return to the Philadelphia Eagles this season -- or probably ever -- ``a result of a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time,'' coach Andy Reid said Monday.
Owens was suspended for Sunday night's 17-10 loss at Washington, and will remain suspended for three more games without pay. After that, the Eagles plan to deactivate him for the rest of the season.

Reid said the outspoken player ``had been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions.''
``We gave Terrell every opportunity to avoid this outcome,'' he said.
Owens was suspended Saturday, two days after he said the Eagles showed ``a lack of class'' for not publicly recognizing his 100th career touchdown catch in a game on Oct. 23. In the same interview with ESPN.com on Thursday, Owens said the Eagles would be better off with Green Bay's Brett Favre at quarterback instead of Donovan McNabb.
Owens also was involved in a fight last week with former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas, who remains with the team as its ``ambassador.'' Owens apologized for his comments about the organization in a brief statement on Friday, but he didn't apologize to McNabb or the team.
``The league has been notified by the players' union that they will be grieving our right to take that action,'' Reid said, ``therefore there is nothing more that I can say at this point.''
Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, refused to comment. Owens' relationship with the Eagles took a drastic turn after he fired longtime agent David Joseph, hired Rosenhaus and demanded a new contract just one season into the seven-year, $48.97 million deal he signed when he came to Philadelphia in March 2004.
Owens is scheduled to earn $3.25 million this season, meaning the four-game suspension would cost him almost $800,000.
I can't say I don't blame the Eagles.

The funny thing will be to see what team is desperate enough to sign him next year and hope this doesn't happen to them. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Who will want Owens now?
Who will want Owens now?
He got them to one Super Bowl, and by pushing $7.5 million of bonus money into the 2006 season ? money that T.O. won't ever collect now ? they protected their salary cap in the process.
It was that bonus money that Owens was crying about earlier this year. It was why he wanted to renegotiate so badly. The Eagles, primarily vice president Joe Banner, never budged, never flinched. Owens hired top agent Drew "Rosehips," but he was unable to receive even one proposal from Banner. Both sides dug in their heels, and now Owens is off the team.
The Eagles suspended him for three more games, the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement. After that, the Eagles plan to deactivate Owens for the rest of the season.

Re: T.O.'s woes continue with locker-room brawl-Owens involved in fight with Hugh Do
I was with T.O. at the beginning of the season. I just looked at it as a guy taking care of business for his AFTER pro Football life. We all saw what happened to the Wide Receiver from Greenbay that wanted to re-do his contract but came back without one................broke knee........big money free agent contract ...........GONE! :look:
But now ................THIS IDIOT JUST WON'T KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT. :retard:
T.O. bit off more than he could swallow with Donavan McNabb. Philly was not going to let a "newcommer" come in and continue to trash their franchise ..........McNabb. :shh:
Now ........I honestly believe if McNabb had said T.O. should not come back during the FIRST BLOWUP weeks ago, T.O. would have been sitting at home long before now. If anything, McNabb probably was the barrier for the coach and owner NOT TO KICK HIM OFF FOR GOOD. As soon as McNabb spoke out, an hour later T.O. was through in Philly. :goof:
Just call McNabb the QUIET, WELL MANNERED ASSASIAN. :lmao:
T.O. just F-ed himself.
He will get picked up next year, but I'll bet a team will make him take LESS MONEY than he's getting with the Egales now. He don't have any leverage anymore. :nod2:

Re: T.O.'s woes continue with locker-room brawl-Owens involved in fight with Hugh Do
T.O has to take the blame for the contract problems. The NFL Union told him not to sign the deal, take the one year deal with the Ravens and then file for Free Agency at the end of the year. He signed the deal and then want to make life miserable for everyone because the "Hard Ball Eagles" would not give him a new deal. He knew that the Eagles will not pay any money to anyone. Look how they make Westbrook wait until the middle of the year for his contract extension and he was the most valuable player on that team last year. They let Corey Simon go to the Colts rather than pay him what he was worth.
The Eagles need to take some blame also. If McNabb would set a milestone record. They would have had fireworks, baloons and everything else for him. But for T.O. catching his 100th career touchdown pass, nothing, zip. So that brought up all of the past troubles between the two sides for not recognizing his personal accomplishment. They should have before the season started made McNabb and T.O. sit at the table and air their differences with each other with coach Reid because you can see they have deep hatred for one another.
I hope this experience humbles T.O. and I am glad that I have to hear nothing else from the "Drama Queen Of The NFL" !!! I am glad he is gone.

More madness to this saga. :smh:
Owens summoned police to his house late Monday because there were some people on his property. He said he wanted to be left alone, had no comment and would contact the news media when he did want to speak, police at the scene said.
Later, two pizzas were delivered to Owens' home. Someone answered the door - not Owens - and gave deliveryman James McDevitt a $5 tip. McDevitt said he left the tip on the door step.

This is the statement that T.O. was going to give on Monday, when he met with Coach Reid, but the decision had already been made on Saturday to suspend him.
The Eagles front office, will never experience a parade if they keep this up.

How does TO know its time to go:
1. The fans are driving by your house shouting nasty things at you. :lmao:
2. The police are parked on your street to protect you from the fans.
3. The fans are saying they rather have a losing season than have you on the team. :bump:
4. You can barely read the press statement written by your agent. :lmao:
5. When you agent is asked ?What have you done for your client besides get him kicked off the Eagles?" and you agent says ?next question?. Mean while you smile and wink at the reporter that asked the question. :lmao:
6. The local TV stations are showing fans saying things about you that have to be bleeped. :lmao:
7. The local TV stations are having a hard time finding blacks to support you. :lmao:
8. The local TV stations are showing little white boys saying that you are a good player, but a bad human being. (This is the kiss of death). :nod2: :nod2: :nod2:
9. The local TV stations are showing your jersey marked down 50% off, but they are still not moving off the shelves.
10. The local sports radio stations are dogging you out.
I am sure he will find another home next year. I told you guys that his drama would not work in Philadelphia.

If the Eagles are STUPID enough to fall for it, you can bet that a couple of weeks from now, when this latest episode has died down, T.O. will be doing or saying something else.
Let his arse go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And after watching that news conference, his attorney seems like a bigger jack arse than T.O.

On the NFL | 'Next question' for T.O.: Why keep Rosenhaus?
By Ashley Fox
Inquirer Staff Writer
The only time Terrell Owens cracked a smile during a heated 13-minute news conference outside his Moorestown home yesterday was when one ambitious questioner asked his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, this:
What have you done for your client besides get him kicked off the Eagles?
It was a terrific question, and one Owens should be asking, because nothing has gone right for him since he fired David Joseph and hired Rosenhaus, the NFL's biggest power broker, eight months ago. Owens did not get that new contract he wanted. He was allowed to flounder in the midst of a crisis while alienating himself from his teammates and the town he owned after a brilliant Super Bowl performance.
And now, Owens is a man without a team or a job, and he just lost at the very least $800,000 and quite possibly a lot, lot more.

Niggra mess! :smh:
All brought on by a fool who didn't have anything before he made the NFL, and now, shows how foolish he is by whining because he doesn't have more millions to spend. It's attitudes and arseholes like him that make me care nothing for the NFL...and professional (if you can call them that) athletes and sports in general.
There are folks who are either working multiple jobs to make ends meet, or have NO jobs at all. And this fool puts on a minstrel show for all the nation to see. Sad...sad I tell ya'!
I used to hear my grandmother say "give a po "culud" fool who ain't ever had it some money, and watch him show his azz!"
