maybe, but as much as TO likes the lime light, sitting at home getting paid will suck for him. trust me, he will be in front of some camera slagging off McNabb and Reid

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

hahahahahahahaha

i like TO, because i dislike the eagles

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

So they're not putting him on waivers?

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

stemming from this incident, among others it seems...

[B] Owens involved in fight with Hugh Douglas[/B] [I] Jay Glazer / FOXSports.com[/I]

The Terrell Owens' saga has taken perhaps its most absurd turn yet. While he was suspended for comments made Thursday, that was not his most outrageous action of that day.

Terrell's fighting words

NFL Insider Jay Glazer gives the story of T.O.'s locker room fight. After trading punches in the training room, the suspended wide receiver challenged the entire locker room. Owens actually fought Pro Bowl defensive end and current Eagles ambassador Hugh Douglas in the team's rehab room late Thursday and then issued a challenge to fight several other teammates afterward. The Trenton Times first reported the story Sunday morning.

Those present told FOXSports.com, while Owens was in the pool rehabilitating his injured ankle, Douglas came into the area and began to get on the outspoken wide receiver. The two jawed back and forth before, believe it or not, Owens got out of the pool and went to get his sneakers on in order to get traction to throw some blows.

When he came back, with shoes on, Owens and Douglas started swinging. Douglas said both sides only threw a couple punches and none landed.

Several players, most getting treatment, tried to separate the pair, but Owens started throwing those players off of him to get at Douglas again. Owens shed his teammates and kept going after Douglas before L.J. Smith got Douglas into another area. One swing by Owens was described as a shot that would have done major damage had it landed.

The fight, which was deemed "unbelievable" by some present, is just the latest tale in the bizarre soap opera that has been Owens' season. However, Owens' bizarre afternoon didn't end there.

Following his fight with Douglas, a still-amped Owens walked into the locker room and issued a challenge to fight any player who wants to continue to talk behind his back. Although there were several players in the locker room, most believed his challenge was directed toward quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Basically, Owens said, and this is to paraphrase, that anyone else who talks behind his back who wants to step up should do it now, this is the time to take him on and he could handle it the way he did with Douglas. When nobody moved from their stools, Owens said something to the effect of, "That's what I thought" and walked out.

This is not the first time Owens and Douglas got into a heated exchange, although it's the first time punches were thrown. During training camp, FOXSports.com first reported that Owens and Douglas had a verbal altercation in an elevator with McNabb regarding the trio's tumultuous relationship. At the time, Douglas threatened to hit Owens but didn't follow through.

Saturday, the team suspended Owens indefinitely and while the team has made no absolute decision on his future, several Eagles say they find it hard to believe he will ever rejoin the team. However, coach Andy Reid has not said this yet and some also believe that as long as he gives a true apology to McNabb and the team he may be allowed back. However, it's difficult to believe that Owens would conform to this.

The team suspended him Saturday for what they deemed "conduct detrimental to the team." According to sources, Reid wanted an apology from Owens publicly and then an apology to the team. Owens, sources say, was suspended because he couldn't conform with Reid's portion of the request to apologize to his team.

The apology he was looking for were a direct result of comments he made regarding the team's lack of public recognition of his 100th career TD catch a couple of weeks ago.

"I've had an opportunity to talk with the Eagles organization and I have learned that the team does not recognize individual achievements," Owens said in a prepared statement Friday. "It has been brought to my attention that I have offended the organization and my teammates. Therefore, I would like to apologize for any derogatory comments toward them."

The brawl with Douglas and the ensuing challenge to his teammates to another fight was just another incident that has "worn us all out" according to teammates. Several teammates truly like Owens and all respect his play, but many others inside the locker room and organization are simply exhausted by the weekly soap opera that has become what seems like a scheduled distraction.

Owens is expected to make in excess of $3.5 million in pay which means for every game the team suspends him without pay, he would lose more than $200,000 per week. The team may elect to go the Keyshawn Johnson route — pay him to stay away.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

why hand him to a potential opponent or contender?

make him look worse, and lose value by not playing. dumb greedy athlete. just piss him off even more, and now he will never get a decent long term contract again. count on 1-2 yr contracts with heavy incentive clauses.....

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

Watch Bill Parcels pick him up at the end of the season and turn him into the best wide receiver in the game. lol.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

luckily i got to watch parcells for a long time, 2 NY teams. Parcells is the best coach for anyone who is a touch troubled. he dont take shit, doesnt ccare what you do, but when you are within a mile of him, you better act like a fucking british castle guard, you dont move without him telling you to. the only man to call roman phiffer "she" in press conferences. a 65 yr old guy who punched a 15 yr old athlete, and the ultimate line of ""you are what your record says you are""

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

^^^ he has done a decent job with keyshawn. and he was allegedly a cancer in Tampa. But TO is a head case tho, lol. he is talking himself out of a lot of cash

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

[quote=skahound]So they're not putting him on waivers?[/quote]

no. he will remain on the team he will just be deactivated..which means he will sit at home but will get paid...

if he was on waivers...the two worst teams would be able to pick him up (pakers and texans i believe)

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

The guy is a total jerkoff for wasting his gift, and I hate club house cancers, But I actually find his antics hilarous so I will miss him. It will be interesting to see if he ends up playing the Eagles next year though. :shock:

PS- good news for me since I picked up Reggie Brown for my fantasy team on Saturday. Gotta love getting a WR1 off the free agent market in Week 9 8)

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

A "fuck you" to TO and an "atta boy" to Reid and the Eagles. Good to see a team give a guy the boot despite the talent he brings on the field. Now if all the owners made a silent agreement to not pick him up, that would be even better.

Unrelated note: What about making a forum under General Shit for sports? Granted the board may be pretty crowded already, but I'm sure the interest is there to make it worthwhile. Just a suggestion

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

don mattingly said it the best

"the fans dont want to hear from you, just shut up and play hard, enjoy the game"

maybe that is why mattingly is loved moreso than ruth, mantle or dimaggio or LT,messier, namath, here in NY

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

asso= what a muppet:roll:

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

I agree that he should play for Parcells. I think Parcells would whip his ass in line for good.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

What took them so long. That guy is just trouble anywhere he goes. I really hope knowone picks him up and he has to retire or even worse become a sports announcer.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

i dont know about dallas picking him up. would the eagles allow a division rival to get him???

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

[quote=ds]i dont know about dallas picking him up. would the eagles allow a division rival to get him???[/quote]

that would make for a couple of great games next season wouldnt it.

but christ TO and Keyshawn on the same team.. that would be a great reality show

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

and isn't TO the one that put the football on the center of the dallas star, then emmitt smith did it, then TO did it, then emmitt ran out and tackled TO... HAHAHAHAHAHA, i never laughed so hard in my life. i'm sure dallas fans would embrace TO warmly...... not.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

i think it was Roy Williams #31 who tackled TO not emmit.....i think.

but very classic none the less.

but it is now week 9 and i am totally sick of hearing about t.o and his drama. i am glad hes gone and now hopefully espn can cover something more worth while like the wnba offseason.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

fuck TO....hope that shit happens to Iverson too...that bitch parks downstairs outside my building and all his buddies trying to get "crunked" leave no space for the people who actually live here....

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

I don't think Parcells would take him, he does have a history of working with so-called "troubled" players, but it is a select group, and he usually has a long standing history with them.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

what pisses me off is he'll probably find someone to pay him more than the eagles offered him, which was already a generous salary and if TO can't be the main focus with that new team, he is going to pull the same shit. he'll just be pulling the same shit and making more money. fuck him.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

wow the NFL has just lost there biggest star.. hating it.. he might have been a loser to his teammates ahd shit but he was a great wide receiver.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

i like TO. hes funny, he talks shit and he can back it up. he makes the game more fun to watch imo

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

[quote=shosh]i like TO. hes funny, he talks shit and he can back it up. he makes the game more fun to watch imo[/quote]

that waiter shit was great :lol:

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

he makes the game more exciting... and i am one to say do what you want after you score a touchdown, i love the dance.... joe horn cracks my shit up (best wide receiver in the nfl :p). but TO is annoying. he turns the nfl into a fucking soap opera. soaks up the media's attention with off-the-field bullshit.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

there is already a tom tucker comment up on BT going

"'thanks terrel for setting your race back a thousand years"" (ripoff of family guy movie) and the guy who did it is spot on for seth mac farlane.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

[quote=dek0021]fuck TO....hope that shit happens to Iverson too...that bitch parks downstairs outside my building and all his buddies trying to get "crunked" leave no space for the people who actually live here....[/quote]

yup, thats about equal to being a locker room cancer and fighting with team mates, and slagging off your quarterback and team and begging for more money 1 year into a 7 year deal.. etc. :lol:

I hope they run the answer out of philly tomorrow!!!

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

put TO and Iverson in a boat and send them down the river with nothing but a knife and see what happens after 3 days at "sea"

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

whos crazier?

Artest or T.O?

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

I'd say Artest.. asking for time off of basketball to promote a Rap cd to me is a bit crazier than asking for more money to be the highest paid at your position.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

good riddens

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

As a hardcore Giants Fan I'm happy he's gone but at the the same time I liked when my squad had to play someone of his caliber every year. He was fun to watch but man anybody that can get in to a fight with Hugh Douglas who is very respected in the league and is one of the most outgoing guys in the league you have to be somewhat of an a$$hole.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

espn.com NOW or TV

he is at the podium at his house.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

jesus, drew rosenhouse is out of control.

Re: terrell ownes is GONE- got the boot

Philly is considering his apology, apparently TO is missing out on $200,000+ per game

I hope the tell him to F-off so I can start Reggie Brown on my Fanatasy team next week
