Terrell Owens has packed up and left training camp. Apparantly he's back in "hold-out" mode.

This time it's not the contract. Poor widdle baby got yewwed at by the coach.

OK....just heard the update. He was disruptive at a team meeting and was asked to leave the meeting. He left the meeting, and the locker room, and went home.

Wah.

Coach was mean to me.

Damn him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO, I mean.

&%$^#&@

great, any chance of us going to the super bowl is just slowly swirling down the toilet

what else can go wrong? I'm already assuming somehow McNabb'll be hurt by the 2nd regular season game.

I'm so mad.

Remember this....

The Eagles made the NFC Championship Game 3 years in a row WITHOUT Owens.

Last year, the Eagles made it to the Super Bowl WITHOUT Owens playing in the playoffs.

But they lost the game he came back....

Now THAT'S a difference maker!!!!

Oh I completely agree, I'm just frustrated between his little tantrums and all of the injuries they're sustaining even before preseason. I think losing TP is going to hurt our running game even if he did screw up a couple of times. The boy can still run. TO was out, but we still at least had ample receiver skill. At least we still have Lewis for now.

I would love nothing better than to see TO benched this season because I'm tired of his attitude problem.

I like to see my team healthy and happy

But at least Westbrook showed up. That's a plus. I'm very happy about that, even if he isn't technically signed yet.

Actually, I meant Todd Pinkston getting hurt for the season

But it works both ways

I can't stand to hear anymore about TO. Personally I think the press should refuse to cover his little fits and whether he's at practice or not. If he got no press his little tantrums wouldn't work. And there'd be no way I'd deal with him if I was mgmt. I'd truly rather lose the season then give him anything he's asking for. Not that I think that would happen.

The only solution for a prima donna like T.O. is to IGNORE him.

If teams figure out that this guy is more of a liability than an asset, he will get nowhere.

Unfortunately, with Eggles losing Pinkston last week, he thinks he now has leverage... and the S.O.B. just might

I honestly don't think Reid will do that, and I Really don't think Lurie would even consider it. If they did, they stand to lose a lot more respect from the fans than if they just benched his butt and ignored him for the season.

I hope he keeps going never comes back and has to get a JOB. Spoiled ungrateful waste of talent.

If the Eagles have any balls, they say, "A Contract Is A Contract"....and let him hold out for 6 years....

It's a shame.....for an immense talent like that...outright the best receiver in the NFL, to ruin his career by pulling crap like that.

ToplessRideFL · Post by **ToplessRideFL** » August 10, 2005 4:00 pm

We have a gal at work who is a prima donna, and like TO she can "play" and does bring in $$$ to the office... But it really p*** everyone else off that the owners turn a blind eye to her tantrums and rude behavior... When will people get that there is no I in TEAM?

TheSecretsInTheCrust · Post by **TheSecretsInTheCrust** » August 10, 2005 4:03 pm

Maybe a semi=pro team can hire him to be a mascot...he's got the moves down.

perhaps TO should call ricky williams and talk about the 8.7 million reasons why walking out on your team is a bad idea..
