SPECULATE: How can T.O. play with the Eagles this year?

[FRPLG]

This is a hard call. I do believe that the Eagles could forgive and forget if they knew TO could chill for the season but what are the chances of that? This guy is not a reasonable person and is it is hard to see him simply chilling and waiting to get to free agency next year. I can see this going many ways but if I had to guess I say the strongest possibility is that he patches up temporarily but as soon as they hit a spot or things get mildly difficult you'll see TO in self destruction mode again.

I think a lot depends on how they are playing. Everythign was cool last year because they were playing well and winning. As soon as things didn't go so well (see SB) he starts pointing fingers and bitching.

That's the rub. Even if Owens (I'm going to refuse to call him T.O. from now on) could patch things up before the opener, you know it would be under a "zero tolerance" policy. I just don't see 17 weeks of problem-free behavior. They didn't have it last year (see: sideline arguements with Donovan, attention grabbing dances, etc.), and he was "allegedly" happy.
