Terrell Owens thinks he sat in the back of the bus

[DA Hogs]

he and his agent missed the deadline ! PERIOD!!

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Just when I thought TO couldn't be a bigger idiot, he proves me wrong.

TO and Rosa Parks? Good one.

[SittingBull]

Thats an insult to the civil rights movement in my book. TO should consider himself blessed and priveledged regardless of the outcome on Sunday with all the millions he's making.

[Skins fan 44]

Poor TO I feel soo sorry for you.

[RedskinKnee]

TO + AGENT = MORONS

this is such a joke. We all know how this is going to end because the rules / laws were laid out before him. He is now, and will be a Raven. If he doesn't like it then quit and go flip burgers. I like TO the player, but TO the person can kiss my ass. He is spitting in the Ravens face! He was traded FAIR AND SQUARE, and is still making more money than most of us COMBINED will make in a life time.

I bet rosa parks would have been more aware of that deadline had she been looking forward to it for a whole season!

[jsarno]

rosa parks, dr. martin luther king etc would all accept the trade and realize that a mistake was made on their end of the stick. They would suck it up and work through it, not whine about it being unfair.

well i'm nominating terrell owens as nfl a$$hole of the year.why anybody would want him on their team is beyond me.he's a great talent,but the way he carries himself makes his talents dissappears.

[SittingBull]

Im kind of hoping that the NFL allows him to sign a new contract so whatever team he goes to can add the requirement of wearing a muzzle for the whole season to it.

[Daseal]

In his eyes BMore is a dead end job. Who's going to throw it to him? At least McNabb has some sort of arm.

Just consider this blemish on TO's record to that of Martin Luther King being a plagerizer on his record. Both are nasty marks, but should be overlooked for the greater good of the person.

[johnnyredskin63]

with all due respect,dr king changed the world and TO has not come close to it.why anybody with more money than god would refer to a job where you get 6 months off a year as a dead end job is just plain out stupid.if i had a choice i would rather play for a coach that has won a super bowl than one who watches it at home every year.i guess terrell can't see the point of that
because he rode the little short bus to school..... daseal,does TO have a place in your heart like TOBC does?

[sportscurmudgeon]

Here is one very significant difference between Rosa Parks and Terrell Owens.

Owens had made something like $11M in his NFL career. If Rosa Parks had made $11M in her lifetime, she would never have had to ride the bus and take the courageous stand that she took.

Owens has a leverage point with the Ravens. He can hold out until the 11th game of the year and then come back to the team out of shape and with no knowledge of the offense. They can keep him on the roster and pay him for the final 5 games while he contributes next to nothing or they can release him. If they keep him, that works off one year of his contract with them; if they release him, he is a free agent and they get nothing from him next year or for him as he signs elsewhere. Baltimore cannot like that prospect if that is what Owens and his agent threaten to do.

I would not be surprised if the Ravens traded TO to Philly for Philly's first round pick and then Philly re-did TO's contract. That would make everyone happy - except for the 49ers who seemed to want to make sure that TO did not get a signing bonus this year as that team's #1 priority.

What I do not understand is how TO fits the mold of the kind of player that Andy Reid has sought to assemble on his team.

And here is a scary thought that comes from a freind of mine who works for the Philly Inquirer:

The Eagles have enough cap room to trade for TO and sign him AND to take David Boston's contract from San Diego. Granted these are two HUGE head cases, but what defensive coordinator would want to find ways to cover both of these guys on opposite sides of the field for about 65 plays per game?

:confused: :confused:

Imagine how much more he'd be worth if he didnt have the reputation of being a loudmouth and disruption in the locker room.

Everything Ive heard from coaches and players are quite the opposite of TO. He's a great locker room influence and he's the leader of the team. He's the guy in the weight room, he's the guy running wind sprints with everyone at home. I don't know where you grab this garbage from, but the only people I've ever heard call him a "locker room problem" are media guys looking for something to grasp onto without a better topic.

Also, if you take your taxes to a tax consultant. You send your taxes in, get audited and find out they're wrong. I'm pretty sure the second you send them to H&R block you get off pretty clean. There are lots of places that if they fuck up your paper work you can sue and either have a chance to re-do it or make the others redo it. There are plenty of examples. The stock market is a bad analogy because it's not something that's reversable. You'd have to turn back time to change the stock market. Every single day matters, whereas in this contract every day really isn't as important.

Do you not remember how much he talked trash about Garcia not giving him the ball as much as TO wanted last year? Thats one of the main reasons he wanted out and said he'd be a free agent in the middle of the season no less. You dont think thats something that would pressure players to pick sides and divide the team? If trashtalking your QB to the press and saying how you dont like the team isnt a locker room disruption I dont know what is.

One thing I thought was funny that Wilbon said today was that if Rosa Parks had TO's money she wouldnt have had to ride the bus lol

Just when I think Terell Owens has said the dumbest thing ever, he just keeps on talking.

I think the 'Niners are cashing in on a mistake made by T.O. and his agent. I think the Baltimorons are also trying to cash in. However, I cannot agree with this idea that T.O. is the "real" victim here. It is his money, his agent, his reputation and his conduct that has brought him where he is. He absolutely must shoulder some of the responsibility for what has occurred. I am not discounting the fact that this has cost him millions. I just do not buy into the false logic that says that this is everyone's fault except his. He must own some, if not most, of this mess.

Looks like we are going to go through the same thing with La Var and his contract. Does everyone think that the league and the 'skins have shafted La Var?
