Philadelphia Eagles Get Burnt. Ha ha!
Excuse me Philadelphia Eagles fans, but in the immortal words of Nelson Munce, “Ha ha!”
I considered myself an Eagles fan until last season. I like McNabb, he’s a class act, and I respect Reid’s straightforward, tough coaching style, but how on Earth was I supposed to root for a team with Terrell Owens? Despite his obvious talent, Owens is just spoiled, greedy and selfish.
Now Owens has left camp after refusing to take part in a fan autograph session. The guy makes $7,000,000 a season and he can’t take an hour to sign a few balls for the fans?
Philly though, like many teams, were willing to play with fire by signing Owens, who had worn out his welcome in San Francisco, and now they’re getting burned! The sad part is that there are countless other teams that would still trip over themselves to sign this guy.
Why do receivers like Owens, Randy Moss, Chad Johnson, or Keyshawn Johnson think the game revolves around them? Last time I watched football the QB was the one throwing them the ball. Where is Ronnie Lott when you need him?
If I were Lurie & Reid, I would tell him that he can be on the team, and be happy and productive. Both of those are up to him. He can realize he is making $7,000,000 a season, is on a team with a good chance of making it back to the Superbowl, and has plenty of money to feed his family.
If he can’t be happy then he should be on the team and just be productive. He put his name on the dotted line last season, now he has to live with it.
If he can’t do either of those, then he should sit out, and get paid nothing.
