TO Who???


It really boggles my mind how someone can be so fucking arrogant. I mean, being confident is one thing...and even being cocky to a certain degree is not that bad. TO is on a WHOLE other level when it comes to arrogance, cockiness, and vanity.

First of all, the fact that he would publically say "He needs to feed his family too" in a city like Philadelphia where the average Joe makes less than $35,000 a year is utterly ridiculous and I am surprised that the citizens of Philly have not mobbed his house yet and run him out of town. Secondly, if he thought that the contract he signed two years ago was a little bogus, why didn't he bring that up then?? Perhaps he didn't think he was worth more money than that at that given moment? I think everyone will agree with me when I say that is HIGHLY unlikely.

Onto more recent events:

TO said during an interview that the Eagles would be better if Brett Favre were their QB instead of Donovan McNabb. He also stated that the Eagles organization lacks "class and integrity" because they didn't make a big deal about him getting his 100th TD reception.

Well Mr. Owens, I have a few things that I would like to say to you. Not that you will read my blog, because I know you and Drew have more important things to deal with...like what NFL organization you plan to fuck up next.

1. Brett Favre is one of the best QB's that has ever played the game. That being said, ANY team that Favre is on is going to be that much better because of his professionalism and pride; both of which you lack severely.
2. McNabb is a completely different QB than Favre is and the Eagle's offense is tailored to him (not to you which I think is the biggest reason you aren't playing well with others...you aren't the star in Philly). McNabb brings so much to the table as QB how can you ever possibly say that bringing in another QB would better the situation? McNabb has been with the Eagle's franchise his entire career...taken them to a number of playoff appearances, NFC Championships, and a Superbowl...but I am sure the front office would trade McNabb in a heartbeat because you think he isn't good enough...get a fucking clue man.
3. Maybe the organization would have celebrated your 100th TD catch if you didn't prance around like a moron every time you score. From the way you act after you score, one would think that you have never scored a TD before. Seriously, a sharpie, pom poms, tearing signs down, dancing, waiting tables, what could the Eagles organization have done as a celebration that you haven't already done for each previous TD? Here is an idea, be a professional toss the ball back to the Umpire, run off to the sidelines, shake McNabb's hand because you couldnt have caught it unless he threw it, and sit your ass down on the bench and root for the special teams and the defense.

I grew up on the Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Ravens. So, those are the two teams that I route for. Part of me is happy to see the Eagle's flop around on the field and lose games that they smoked the previous season, but the other part of me feels for them and the fans very much. I knew when the Ravens tried to get TO and he wouldn't go there because he wanted to go to a team that has "Super Bowl capabilities" even though the Ravens have won more Super Bowl's than the Eagles have in the past ten years. TO is such a phenominal athlete and it just bugs me to see someone of his capabilities act like an infant. Right now the Eagles are in last place in the NFC East with a record of 4-4. The NFC East is, by far, the most talented division in the NFL and each year is a dogfight for first place and the talent of TO could be greatly useful to the Eagles, but his drama and attitude is not worth his talent. Not having TO will also allow receivers Greg Lewis and Reggie Brown to step up and make big plays for the Eagles and help them win games. Reggie Brown had a fantastic game against the Redskins this past Sunday night catching 5 passes for 94 yards including their only touch down of the night. Look for the Eagles to turn things around because now they don't have to worry about TO running his mouth on the field.

Good riddance is all I have to say. I feel bad for any team that gets to have his "talent" in their locker room next season, cause it won't be the Eagles.
