TO Suspended Again by Eagles

[Perfection]

Terrell Owens was suspended indefinitely by the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday, two days after he criticized the organization for not publicly recognizing his 100th career touchdown catch two weeks ago. The star receiver apologized Friday in a statement and later on his weekly radio show, but the damage already was done. The Eagles issued a statement that said Owens was suspended "for conduct detrimental to the team." The team added that it will have no further comment. This is the second time Owens has been suspended during his controversial 10-year career. In 2000, he was suspended one game by San Francisco coach Steve Mariucci following his infamous touchdown celebrations on the Dallas Cowboys' famed star logo at the center of Texas Stadium.

T.O. just looks for trouble.  Philly fans are going to turn on him quick if they haven't allready.  About the only time I will ever stick up for Philly fans when they do turn on him/ if they haven't already.

T.O. got in a fist fight with his teammates

[africas seed]

no doubt TO is one of the best WRs in then game(def not the best though) but this blockhead is just too damn cocky and he deserves to get his ass suspended

[Perfection]

Micheal Irvin is the only guy who keeps agreeing with TO & I think it has to do with TO being a WR. Anyways Irvin is one of the worst at his job before he started agreeing with TO & lost all credibility.

It might not have been just Terrell Owens' fighting words that led to his suspension from the Eagles.

It seems a fistfight also contributed to his being banished indefinitely.

A team source told Mortensen that Douglas, whose post with the Eagles he re-titled "bad-ass-ador," entered the team's training room Wednesday and announced "I know there are people in here faking injuries." The comment apparently led to the scrum between Owens and Douglas.

One source told the Times the fight "was like WWE Smackdown." Another source told the paper both Douglas and Owens threw at least two punches before Owens challenged quarterback Donovan McNabb and then everyone else in the room, saying "You want some? Anyone else want some?"

The scrap is just another incident in a week of unrest that led to Owens being suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team on Saturday.

Early in the week, Owens apprised Philadelphia officials that he had sprained his ankle in last Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, and might require some time off. One day later, he was back at practice and seemingly prepared to play against the Redskins.

On Thursday, Owens blasted McNabb and the organization in an ESPN.com interview which spurred a Friday meeting with Eagles coach Andy Reid.

On Friday, Mortensen reports, Reid gave Owens three stipulations: Apologize to the organization, the team and to McNabb.

McNabb told ESPN's Suzy Kolber he called a team meeting Friday, which Owens attended, to discuss the team's unrest and pronounced to all, looking at T.O. directly, "You're either with me or against me."

Owens' apologies in private to the club and in public on Friday apparently did not meet Reid's standards and T.O. was suspended on Saturday.

According to the paper, Owens and Douglas have been at odds since training camp where they almost got into an altercation in an elevator at Lehigh University. Douglas was among the few players to publicly say Owens should honor his current contract when T.O. demanded a new one this past offseason.

The Eagles declined to comment about the bout.

In seven games this season, Owens has 47 catches for 763 yards and six touchdowns.

This is the second time Owens has been suspended during his controversial 10-year career. While a 49er in 2000, he was suspended one game by San Francisco coach Steve Mariucci following his touchdown celebrations on the Cowboys' star logo at the center of Texas Stadium.

That sucks for people who drafted him in fantasy leagues

[eS El Duque]

I agree with owens on one thing...Eagles would be undefeated with Favre 

[Shallow]

I don't see why saying Favre is better than McNabb warrants an apology. It's like John Stockton saying if we had Shaq we would have won a Championship.


Owens is a big time player who gets the job done at clutch time. McNabb is not. End of discussion.
