this move makes no sense unless the eagles are trying to be last in the division

Better for Reid to lay down the law now than for TO to experiment with trying to hold the team hostage at a possible future point in the season that is even more critical than now.

don't you think the time to lay down the law was before the season started when TO was talking smack about everyone? This is a very important game for them -- if they lose while TO is suspended, Reid is going to look like a fool.

Not that it should matter, but I believe that Reid will have the general support of the fans even if they lose.

If you'll recall he did lay down the law then and suspended TO for a week. One would think most players would've learned their lesson from that but this is TO and now he's acting up again and putting Reid in a difficult position. This is precisely what a lot of folks anticipated would happen at some point this season -- again assuming this is true.

Uh, they did lay down the law before the season. They sent TO home and put an official warning in his personnel file. Now he went and shot his mouth off again, and they're doing what they said they were going to do.

I'll be honest, I think Reid may be starting to go down in flames. He's a good coach, but for years he failed to address his WR situation, refusing to admit he needed to make significant upgrades. He also subscribes to the Mike Martz theory of non-running. Now he seems to have lost control of the team. Westbrook is unhappy, Owens is unhappy, and both are telling anyone and everyone about it. Owens has been spouting off since the offseason yet Reid suspends him for an important divisional matchup. The wheels are coming off this team, and at some point you have to blame the coach.
 
If he ends up with the numbers he might get in, but I bet he has to wait a few years AFTER eligibility.  Perhaps if he apologizes for being such an arsehole and admitting that he put himself before his team etc...he will get in sooner.  All in all it would not hurt my feelings if he does not ever get in.  Guys like him are bad for the league. THERE IS NO I IN TEAM!!!

What do you guys think the great coaches in history would have done with him?  I say TO rides a lot of bench for the Halas', Lombardi's, Landry's etc.

Bottom line:  TO would not have survived in the league BEFORE free agency took over.  He would have been told to keep his mouth shut and support his team or get used to the bench.  Now a days any player that is not getting what he wants can basically get a trade instead of grow up and handle their business like men.

:no: Guys with big mouths and who create news are great for the league. Boring guys with no personality are bad for the league.

:fishing: Pretty funny. You probably like Wrestling. Anyone that has ever participated in a team sport will tell you that guys like TO are a distraction when they mouth off like juvenile delinquents on a regular basis. Think of Jerry Rice for a moment. As a Dallas fan I disliked the guy for his on field dominance. But I couldn't help but like him because of his class and demeanor. He could have boasted that he was the best ever blah blah blah...me...me...me...etc. But it would have undermined what SF was able to accomplish on the field and lessened his overall image of how he will be remembered. I now respect those SF teams for what they did. You are wrong to think that players like TO are good for the league as there are only a few that act like him. If they all acted like this the league would step in and clean it up. These are not the kind of players that command respect. It's pathetic really since he is as good a WR as he is. There is no reason for his mindless banter. The guy has $$$, but no respect. And that's his fault for the choices that he makes. Now in terms of FF he is great, but as an NFL player he is a cancer.

Apparently the "laying down the law" didn't work.

This is TO. That shouldn't surprise you. He's the ultimate team cancer.
 
Glazer and FOX Sports now reporting it:Team sources have told FOXSports.com that the Eagles will leave the outspoken All-Pro receiver off the trip for Sunday night's game against the Redskins.The decision was made after the Eagles spoke with the league office on Friday with regards to their options after Owens bashed the team again. Owens practiced on Friday and Thursday but the team decided not to play Owens anyway.On Friday he was forced to publicly apologize for comments he made regarding the team's lack of publicly recognizing his 100th career TD catch a couple of weeks ago."I've had an opportunity to talk with the Eagles organization and I have learned that the team does not recognize individual achievements," Owens said in a prepared statement. "It has been brought to my attention that I have offended the organization and my teammates. Therefore, I would like to apologize for any derogatory comments toward them."That wasn't enough, however, to save him from punishment.Whether or not it's considered a deactivation or suspension is simply semantics at this point but the bottom line is that Owens will not play.Head coach Andy Reid simply wants to get past this week before he makes any further decisions on Owens' future with the club. Rookie Reggie Brown is expected to start in Owens' place.

 
Just saw it on ESPN2's bottom line.Owens suspended indefinately due to conduct unbecoming of the league or something like that....

 
This is why SF let him go. He does not know how to act. He cannot handle success. He is driven to call attention to himself regardless of the effect it has on his team. THERE IS NO I IN TEAM. :popcorn:

 
To tell you the truth, If I was Reid, T.O. get suspended. He can't be allowed to continue on with his nonsense. :banned: Reid is laying the smackdown on T.O. now and letting him know who the head dog ummmm head eagle is right now. :thumbup:

 
Ive had an offer for TO on the table to a leaguemate for 2 days....lucky for me he hasnt been online and I just withdrew the offer.I wish we knew how long the suspension is...

 
The thing is, I dont really think TO cares whether or not he plays. He doesnt even LIKE football. The only way he cares is if the suspension hits him in the pocket.

 
This is just an opinion from a writter

TO is not suspended

Call off the alarms

Especially after he came out and gave an apology for the only part of the interview with Irvin that he really owed one for...

Probably until his ankle is healed.
 
Sporting News Radio just now reported over the air - Terrell Owens has been suspended indefinitely by the team. :blackdot:

This may be just the thing the Eagles need to rally around. I wish this had happened earlier in the week. As an Eagles fan, I hate it that TO has such real mental issues, but despite his on the field skills I think the Eagles are a better team without him.

 
This is why he slipped into 3rd round in a lot of drafts. What a buffoon. A tiger doesn't change his stripes.

Its too big of a distraction. Every reporter who talks to an Eagle has questions about the TO situation, and Im betting that every player is sick and f'n tired of it. Its too hard to focus on their next game with all this crap going on.I bet Reid puts a gag order on the team regarding TO and they get back to business.

 
IMO, this raises the value of LJ Smith, Westbrook, Greg Lewis and Reggie Brown for at least this week, possibly longer.

That is true. But you have to admit that prior to this week, getting TO after the 2nd round looked like a steal. And some of us managed to trade him away, figuring that either the injury or the Terrellitude would keep him out of future games. :banned:

Yep, I glad it happened and its over with. It was just a matter of time anyway.Also, I'm relieved not to have gotten T.O. in the 2nd-3rd round now :pics:

 
I'll tell you what.. Rotoworld is pretty solid when it comes to being on top of these things.. They are one of the best free player udate sites around, if not the best.Once you get past the pop-ups that is..

 
Heres a thought. Wasn't he doubtful earlier in the week. Maybe they know he isn't well and figured this was a prime opportunity to make a statement with the way he is acting. We're all assuming that he was definitely playing. Questionable is 50-50. Maybe this worked out very well for the Eagles. "Lay down the law" on a guy who might not have played anyway.I don't know, but its a thought.

 
1- atlantagreen bay, seattle detroit wont touch him due to their closeness with reidparcells, gruden, or al davis all would be crazy enoughj to get him but i dont think they will
