Heard on the radio today that Reuben Droughns, another holdout client of Rosenhaus, now says he'll show up. I wonder what will happen to the client base once these players figure out that Drew can't deliver all that he promises?

This team wins without TO. Mark my words. Are they better with him, well of course. Can they go back to the supe without him, definitely. Heck, they won in the playoffs when no one said they could.

This little stint by TO will do two things for him.

1. Piss off the fans so much, that whatever “celebrity” following he had last year… is gone. Exactly what Sal Pal was saying.
2. Allow the Eagles to cut him after next year when he will be due the bonus.

You could call this the biggest blunder of mankind because all the chump had to do was go out and put up similar numbers this year to make himself non-cuttable.

Travis Henry is still out there. It’s the perfect trade for Simon. However Simon wants too much money. Is Henry worth a 2nd rounder? Just to pick up a rotation back? They brought in all those draft picks this year… is that enough to mortgage next years draft? Not sure.

However, thinking about Westy, Moats, Henry and Blunt as the RB’s. That’s almost orgasmic.

My basic point is that TO thinks he is the key to this team, he is not.

If he hold out, he will never be forgiven and he can pack his bags… this year.

yawn

Thats probably the best post puker has ever had!

I need to go check the standing for baseball, did Tampa start winning and they figured they had a baseball team now?

We already know the bucs stink and fell apart

There is no hockey

They cant support a basketball team...

AAA doing well?

Battle flags HO!

what? dozing off on this end with this thread...

YYAWNNN

Dont you have some anit-military thread to be offended in?

Quick hurry, i'm sure W did something to you today...

Sorry eagles faithful... feeding the troll.

You need to be spanked!

Only people who reside in actual "sports' towns are following this story. So it's easy to understand why you wouldn't be interested.

ROFL - I hear ya! God knows PHOENIX is the sports MECA of America!!

Isn't it time you and PF hit your favorite happy hour spot?

Puker should start a buc thread...

wait, he'd actually have to be able to name a few players on the team.

wahhh! wahhhh!!

TO's blowin off the Eagles and saying mean things about them! I want my MOMMY!

If you really didn't care about TO - this thread wouldn't exist any longer.

Really who cares? If he's doesn't report to camp start a thread...maybe it will have some substance in say a month - when camps start.

Like TO's actions are surprising to you? If they are you really have spent too much time out in that Arizona sun.

You have to make this stuff up dont you?

Go to espn, cnnsi, or cbssportsline and tell me what the talk of hte offseason is.. TO..

Idiot.

It would be fun if you wanted to bash to, but you never know what the hell you are talking about. Try some substance over form and get back to us.

yawn.....STRETCH....yawn.

Your responses are more exciting then watching baseball or golf on TV!

In fact, I think I'll do what I would do IF I ever found baseball or golf on my TV - take a nap.

Tally ho

PS - Go search for some good news coming out of Iraq or your president's poll number - THAT should keep you busy until camp starts.

TO - putting himself at the center of attention, in the glare of the spotlight, and making a fool out of himself more often than not....that's news???

A pompous, loudmouthed, highly paid, arrogant athlete wants his contract renegotiated....stop the presses!!!

Who's writing and talking about T.O.... ESPN, CBS Sportsline, FOX Sports. NFL.com. Ya no one is interested.

As for Phoenix not being a sports town... We have EVERY single sport known to man in this town EXCEPT a Senior Golf tournament. Can Tampa Bay say the same? Can they, Puker? Come on, loser.

2 NASCAR races, NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, Indy Car, Arena Football, WNBA (debatable as sport), PGA, LPGA, Beach Volleyball (yes, beach volleyball), Indoor Lacrosse, you name it.

Can Tampa say the same? No. So shut your pie-hole queen.

And by the way, it's spelled "M-e-c-c-a". As far as Happy Hour spots.. that's where friends go to meet. I realize that's probably a foreign concept to you. Loser. Troll.

oh, WOW! a whole 2 NASCAR races?!!!!!!

OK, you've got two more NASCAR races then we do! You win, you're from a FINE sports town....

Question?

Is your trailer a single wide or double wide?

Have the Cardinals ever won anything in Phoenix? Nah, the Bucs only beat the beagles to close down the vet...

This is what it looks like...



Oh, da Bolts....theirs looks like this...



but you've got 2 NASCAR RACES!!!

just for giggles...



oh, and don't forget your indoor lacross team...

BIG YAWN!

Oh and just for the last laugh,



Sweet Dreams!

So with your plethera of championships, you consider Tampa a better sports town than let's say.. Chicago? By your definition, towns are only great sports towns with multiple recent champions, so Tampa must be right up there with Boston, eh? Troll.

Congratulations on posting so many pretty pictures. I guess you're pretty used to having only pictures in your life to stimulate you. Troll.


Back to T.O.... here's what I came across today online:

While carrying water for the Eagles on the T.O. mess, Bob Brookover of The Philadelphia Inquirer says that Owens' only options are to play under the terms of his 2005 contract or sit out the 2005 season and be subject to the 2005 terms again in 2006; this analysis overlooks what we believe to be the most likely scenario -- Owens holds out until in week ten in order to get credit for the 2005 season, forcing the Eagles either to pick up his $7.5 million roster and option boni in March 2006 or to release him.

I think "showing up for week 10" qualifies as "playing under the terms of his 2005 contract" except for whatever fines he's assessed, not being paid for the games he missed, etc.

The speculation as to what could happen is -- if he shows up at all, when he shows up, if he takes more verbal jabs at McNabb, can they win without him, etc. -- is really amusing.

What pretty pictures carpetbagger...

Never seen those before...

This is so amusing...from today's Phila. Inquirer:

So that's how a bigtime agent like Drew Rosenhaus earns his commission.

~Adam

Heard a rumor that TO could be traded to the Raiders for Jerry Porter?

Anyone else heard this yet?

What a tandem that would be for the Raiders: Moss & TO. Wow!

Philly would be getting a talented reciever without the baggage in Porter.

Bogus, they took this off a skip bayless article.

Virtually impossible because of the cap.

What's with the rumor (from ESPN Radio, so take it with more than the proverbial grain of salt) that TO now is considering playing some basketball with members of the Sacramento Kings?? Haven't there been enough atheltes injured during their off-season when they participate in a sport other than their own?

~Adam

No hoops for TO....the Eagles just responded to the ESPN report.....aint happenin'.

Even if the Eagles were enamored with T.O. they would not give consent to playing BB. No team wants to a risk an injury to a star player. As far a s a trade to Oakland, just where would that team find money under the cap after just signing Moss.
The Eagles have nothing to lose by doing nothing right now. If T.O. decides to hold out he still owes the Eagles a year plus he could incur up to 2 million in fines.

I don't care how good someone is........I wouldn't want these Terrell Owens, Sean Taylors, etc. on my team.

My guess is all of these reports -- the trade to the Raiders (which can't happen because Porter (or some of his signing bonus, at least) would still count towards the Raiders' cap numbers and they'd have to release a number of players to fit in T.O.), playing for the Kings in the summer (the Eagles said they won't give permission even if asked, which they haven't been asked yet) -- are being stirred up by the sleazy Drew Rosenhaus. He is getting increasingly desperate to make something happen and he can't. T.O is totally screwed and it's his own fault for falling into Drew's sleazy clutches.

Seeing as how the last media salvo didn't get the Eagles to budge, they're at it again.

T.O. shows up at camp -- a youth football camp, that is

Meanwhile, ESPN should be renamed ESDRN, for the Especially Sleazy Drew Rosenhaus Network since he keeps showing up there spouting junk. Last night on Sportscenter he was the "Sunday Conversation" -- which they jazzed up with all kinds of footage. Some of it featured Drew, umm, shirtless.

I kinda liked it. If he'd only shut up I could enjoy him a lot.

Ewwww. I feel so dirty.

T.O compares himself to Jesus! wink

I did. Last week. And he was shirtless. (See above post.)

After the intro before the ESPY's tonight, I want to root for the Eagles to win this year with T.O. sitting out. The best thing that could ever happen is to have the Eagles win it all, and this piece of shit never play another game. T.R.A.S.H.

Peyton Manning is still the most overrated player in sports. Take all the credit when your team wins, and none of the blame when your team loses.

Someone want to let me in on the intro that i missed?

Peyton is the BEST player for fantasy sports, now actually winning a game that matters??? Well i'd sit him and have doug peterson (pederson) as my starting QB.

Hey, don't go getting all nice on us!

Rosenhaus saves boy at Disney pool
Posted: Tuesday July 19, 2005 8:21PM; Updated: Tuesday July 19, 2005 8:21PM

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) -- NFL player agent Drew Rosenhaus performed CPR to save a young boy pulled unconscious from a swimming pool at a Disney World resort hotel Tuesday.

The Chicago boy was on a trip with his family. He was transported to a hospital but was expected to be fine, said Cpl. Carlos Torres of the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

LXN

He'll stop at nothing to get attention -- I bet he pushed the kid into the water, or paid the kid to "drown." Or he pushed the lifeguard out of the way, screaming "MINE! MINE!" wink

actually, I think he's been hired as the agent for the local EMT's. Rosenhaus was quoted as saying that his clients had outperformed their contracts.

When is mamula refunding his signing bonus?

There is something rotten about this story.

Well, of course Rosenhaus was able to save the kid from drowning. He's a shark, he's used to the water! When the kid refused to give him 10% of his allowance, did Rosenhaus throw him back into the water?

~Adam

The cynic in me believes this Rosenhaus affair was staged. I mean a Disney resort has scores of people and at least a couple of life guards. I can't believe they all just stood around waiting for Drew to come by.

In other news Mr. Rosenhaus says there is a 50/50 chance that Owens will show up to training camp. Is that a chink in the armour I detect?

Now that I think of it, he's probably asking the parents for a raise in the kid's allowance and asking for the standard 4% from the kid in return.

Oh TO TO TO... what are you thinking?

Atlanta? HAHAHAHAHA, try cleveland.

The Eagles are fools by even commenting in public about this guy from now on. All they should say is "T.O. is under contract. He has decided not to show up. You all know the ramifications of his actions. We'll talk about the players who are here, and let Owens comment on his own situation."

They really should have waited until camp began to make comments like Banner did this week. The other point they should be making is that the inequity Rosenhaus is claiming -- that it's not fair that an "underpaid" player can't sit out for a raise but a team can cut an "overpaid" player who's still under contract -- has to be changed in collective bargaining.

Heard on the radio this morning that Atlanta's owner already said they don't want the distraction of T.O.

[ July 22, 2005, 09:23 AM: Message edited by: Joe in Philly ]

Hmmm, another selfish, "me first" player in the NFL. That's a surprise.

Despite his obvious talent, I think some teams might view that type of attitude as poisonous to team building.

Personally, I hope Philly sets him straight and tells him they won't trade. If he "no shows," that's his problem.

I really can't see Atlanta trying to take him. One of the things Blank agreed to when he hired Mora was to purge as many of the bad apples when they began re-building the Falcons from the ground up. Those that stayed did so because they had the right attitude to begin with, or they changed their ways and embraced Mora's philosophy.

IMHO, someone like TO (who I give plenty of credit for his talent) just brings a counterproductive attitude to what Mora is trying to do long-term.

In my eyes, TO is dead.

Thank god, i did not waste my money on his jersey.

Surprise! T.O. tells Stephen A.: "I’ll be there."

Probably the best article Screamin A has ever made, just direct quotes.

The team will be worse off if he shows. Distraction Central

I think his showing up to training camp albeit while disgruntled, is a calculated move. Not only does he avoid the fines but being there in the limelight gives him the perfect soapbox to air his laundry. One thing we know about T.O. and Rosenhaus, they don't like to be ignored or forgotten. Since the media will be at training camp every day, I am sure T.O. will have plently to say.

I also heard on the radio that T.O. said getting his contract reworked is matter of life and death. Well he is right in a way, it might be a deathknell for Rosenhaus if he fails to get what his client wants. Other players are watching to see whether he can live up to all his hype.
