Anyone smell an arena league contract??? Europe????
WCW???? Three Stooges remakes?



Mike

 

1-6 is a bit unrealistic, don't you think, Mike? The Eagles were a good team before T.O., I have no reason to think that they'll be that bad without him. Especially if they're able to pick up another impact receiver through free agency or the draft.

 

I'm glad he's gone. I can't stand listening to that guy run him pie hole. It's all about TO wherever he plays. When the team is doing well it's all because of him, when the team is doing poorly it's everyone elses fault. When are team owners going to learn? I'm sure some other stupid owner/gm/coach will make the same mistake with that idiot next year and he will wind up being a cancer for that team too.

or

Maybe the Canadian Football League will take him...

 

...here's hoping T.O. lands in Dallas(or even the NYG or 'Skins for that matter).
We want to see him twice per season.
Recall Buddy's 'Bounty Bowl'?
Maybe even the return of the 'Philly Flu'?

 

OK, but...I still say you can't have such a distraction running amok. Same logic goes for bands, IMO.

This isn't Owens' 1st incident...truthfully, I was amazed last season went as well as it did.
McNab has never impressed me as a prima donna-type...he's very low key, IMO.
Besides, Momma McNab would open up a case of whoop-ass if her son acted a fool like T.O.

 

True to an extent; however, many of the greats (especially in music or sports) were difficult personalities to say the least. Keith Moon provided a distraction or two but the Who were a better band with him.

The key is - does the organization be it a team or band or company have the ability to deal with the difficult parts of a star contributors personality. If it doesn't, then they are better off without him or her. But if they do, they are far better off with the star.

In sports, where would the Red Sox be without Manny Ramirez? While there are still news columists, radio talk hosts and their listeners that get on their high horse whenever Manny pulled a Manny - the team (players and management) were smart to create an climate of tolerance for the inevitable distractions he causes.

ESPN's Sports Guy wrote a great column on T.O. that is worth reading if you have the time -

Moon's distractions were "Rock 'n' Roll" in a Rock 'n' Roll band.

Owens is good...but he ain't no Bird or Jaco.


Sport teams & bands will put up with 'greatness' for awhile...apparently, Philly's stomach got filled a lot faster than Frisco's.

 

I posted another thread (before this one might I add. There was one before mine to but mine was to say it was official). Find it if you want to know my opinion

 

If the thread was as well thought out and insightful as this post, I'm not thinking many are running to do a search.

 

It was more of me doing my baby... I mean TO impression.

I hope sport teams start to fire players.

 

I think my sarcasm meter was a bit slow since all of my body resources are being used to process Thanksgiving leftovers...
