Owens signed a contract , he knew what he was signing and was advised not to. He was all friggen smiles when he did sign that 7 year contract. Had he not been such an ass clown and decided to spend an off season and during the season fighting his organization maybe the next season they sit down and redo his deal. All he had done was play 1 year for them. 1 ...year.
Its less throwing a bone to someone but someone actually being a professional. Plus the whole "McNabb showed himself to be thinskinned..." wow. Someone once joked that McNabb was treated like shit by Eagles fans when he was drafted (they booed) and the years he made that organization relevant with no help for years at WR he still got nothing.
The whole deal with no leaders stepping up to take T.O in hand also is wild. How do you take someone in hand who is not showing up and doing stupid shit in his driveway. Plus I'm sure that with an already stupid situation of Owens own doing , them standing up and telling him to be an actual professional man and play , would have had him attack the players. Perhaps Reid wanted the team to concentrate on football best he could while T.O was being a fucking idiot.
Yes McNabb turned to alcohol as we saw. His life hasn't been good off the field as we see. But the fact that we see people excusing T.O's piece of shit behavior and blaming a guy who actually played his ass off when he was there is just mind boggling. It sums up Eagles fans treatment of McNabb though. They weren't happy he was selected , they weren't happy with his play over getting them close to a Super Bowl with little help , they weren't happy when they made a Super Bowl and lost . They weren't happy and hopefully the fans won't do this to Wentz so quick.
But yeah , the list of Owens bullshit and then painting McNabb as the bad one. WOW....
