Terrell Owens suspended.

No... Philadelphia fans are the dumbest in the world. They booed Kobe when he came back. They booed the NBA all star game a couple of years back. They booed when McNabb was drafted. The booed him the first year.

Theyve done a lot of ****** stuff, can somebody help me out with the things these Philly fans have done?

They are known as the dumbest/most rowdy fans in the country.

That's sort of my point. If TO sits out the whole year and they don't win the SuperBowl they will blame everyone and their uncle in the organization whether or not they deserve it.

They cheered when Michael Irvin got injured. That was actually kind of funny.

Remember when *** Theisman got his leg snapped by LT? Now that's great tv.

You might be right, but imo you cannot rely on a player to do well purely for selfish reason. We had the same thing happen here with the local NHL team where they forced a guy to come back for a while who wanted out. And the thing is that he did do all right in the regular season, but as soon as the playoffs rolled around he disappeared. What I mean is that they will put up numbers that their agent can use when they work on their next contract, but once the regular season is over it's more about winning for the team than padding your stats, and their motivation goes out the window.
Plus TO knows that he could do **** this year and still land a big deal once his contract is up. He is already an established superstar and with 32 teams there is bound to be at least a few that will pay him goofy dollars to go play for them.

No man. EVERY professional is motivated to win a championship. Most players will even give up a certain amount of money to play for a contender.

You're right, and TO cares a lot more about winning than people give him credit for. Although what you say does not always apply. I know that in hockey a lot people think that European players disappear in the playoffs because all they care about is doing well in the regular season. I don't want to turn this into another North America vs Europe thing, but it's true that in European leagues the regular season is what matters the most, and playoffs are a bit of an afterthought. So players growing up with this mentality come here and it's hard to shake. The Ottawa team for instance is loaded with Europeans and they always kill in the regular season and lose out in the first round come playoff time.

I'm pretty sure that if he sits out, not only would he not get paid for this season but he'd lose a nice chunk of his signing bonus. Or maybe that's what you were getting at.

Couldn't you just see TO faking an injury and refusing to play while still collecting his check.

...The 1.75 million is what he has to pay back if he is deemed to have been detrimental to the team per his contract. He can get popped with that regardless if he plays or not. Apparently they structured his contract that way from the beggining expecting problems from him. ANd by the way, he is already claiming hammy problems and limping around a bit.

[PBDS]

But the fans' perception is important here. If they let TO sit out and they don't win the big game then people will blame the ownership and management for not working something out. Especially in a place like Philly where they have been waiting for these guys to break through for so long, people will call for blood if something doesn't happen this year, and if the TO situation gets ugly those reponsible for making it happen will be blamed, whether it is right or not.

I agree that it if TO wants to sit out then it might be fun to tell him to **** off and make him lose a bunch of money, but realistically the Eagles can't do that. It's a bull**** situation, but the fact is that TO has the upper hand here.

...Your wrong. Philly fans have now had it with Owens and he is considered to be the one at fault in this whole thing. Where is Jabs when you need him? When he sees all this **** talked about Philly fans he is gonna crack some heads.

[PBDS]

.....Bottom line on this clown is that I wouldn't ****in take him as a Cowboy even if he paid us to allow him to be on the squad. The guy is a cancer and if he sticks around this year that Philly team that has been to four NFC championships in a row will implode. He will drain the life out of that organization. What they should do is use the detrimental to the team thing to suspend him, don't release him, fine the **** out of him(while getting a good chunk of his money back). That way he doesn't get a new contract, he doesn't get to be traded, he doesn't get to bring the team down by putting balls on the turf and being a cancer, and he doesn't get to run his mouth to anyone standing nearby with a microphone after the games. I damn sure hope he stays because that team will suffer like a mofo and that's only good for the Cowboys.

haha, you're probably right. Besides, I don't want to get in Jabs' bad books, he can sting the hell out of you with his putdowns .

[jack_the_rippuh]

Jabs don't want no problems.
