See, here's the thing about Owens...I don't think he's that good. He just has a big mouth and says he's great and, for some reason, people believe it. I mean, look at Fred Mitchell...better known as FredEx. The guy made like 3 catches in a game once and, because he talked a good game, he was all over the place and made to sound like he was awesome. He isn't...and neither is Owens.
The Eagles made it to the Super Bowl last year and Owens made a "miraculous" recovery to play in the game. And they lost. And Owens decided to tell the media that a major factor in their loss was a problem with McNabb. I don't like McNabb that much either...but I can say, without a doubt, he's the only reason they made it to the Super Bowl. Not Terrell Owens.Anyway, back to the battle between Owens and the Eagles. Sometime during the off-season, Owens blasted McNabb and McNabb really didn't retaliate much. So, Owens continued to hammer on him until a rift developed. What a shock. And then, Owens informed the Eagles he wanted to renegotiate a contract or else be traded. The Eagles refused. Owens threatened to holdout. The Eagles didn't budge. Owens showed up for camp but got "injured". The Eagles shrugged. The drama continues.
I enjoy it. Owens is a slow eating monster...he will kill any momentum the Eagles had. He loves to destroy teams...look at the '49ers. And the Eagles ownership stands by in shock like they could have never foreseen this. Apparently they must be blind because anyone who has ever paid any attention to football could have told them that Owens is trouble. He has some talent but he is constantly in conflict.
Best case scenario, Owens continues to run his mouth and the Eagles meltdown and Owens is blacklisted and is out of football. Talk about your win-win situation. Boy, I can only hope. I am comforted by the fact that Owens has probably ruined any chance of Philadelphia celebrating a Super Bowl Championship in 2006. The fans there don't deserve it...and I'm not sure about the team either.
