They could have paid T.O what he was worth and none of this would have happened. Instead they sided with McNabb and alienated their best player. This only two years after scapegoating James Thrash for McNabb's hideous play against the Panthers in the NFC Championship Game. How many careers are going to be sacrificed so that they can continue to pretend that their QB is more than average.
They get no sympathy from me. Let's see how far their beloved Donovan takes them next year. Better yet, let's see what poor sucker gets the blame when McNabb starts throwing airballs again (No doubt the lingering effects/affects of his groin injury). In the end, characters like T.O. come and go, but hatred for the Iggles lasts forever.

So TO acting like a jackass is their fault? What about when he threw Jeff Garcia under the bus? Whose fault was that? Or what about how he engineered his trade to Philly and screwed Balt in the process. Whose fault is that? Look you may be able to say that other people reacted wrongly to the things TO was doing but the things TO was doing shouldn't be minimalized. His actions and words deserve no defense no matter how much you dislike the Eagles and the way they handle personell. Owens has been a constant problem for every team he has played for. He is simply a self centered juvenile jerk and the last thing any team needs is that. No matter how good he is the dissention he causes totally offsets what he brings to the field and that is TOs fault alone.
