Since me and BF1 are arguing in 2 topics, I figured this would be the smarter way to do things. TO was shown yelling at McNabb on the sidelines, but in the postgame interviews, Andy, McNabb, and TO all were asked about it (of course) and all had the same response. McNabb was the one who was angry, as it was a frustrating game. TO was trying to calm McNabb down, and McNabb was too angry that he was simply walking away. I cannot accept the fact that it was a "cover-up" story, that's just ridiculous. If you seriously have that big of a mental wall against TO that you cannot accept the simple explanation and you crate something like that, then you need to get some help. This is just proof that he IS made out to be the bad guy.
Lets put this to a vote. all non-eagles fans can vote, do you think TO was trying to calm Mcnabb down. Only vote if you ACTUALLY SAW the replay.
I watched the game. What a bunch of crap that explanation was. The Eagles finally get a glimpse of T.O. Watch Leon... Oh, I mean T.O. spread the blame towards others!!!
Owens was not trying to calm down mcnabb. He clearly was yelling at mcnabb. As a matter of fact if you listen to both mcnabb and owens both had said two diffrent things to the media. Mcnabb said owens was trying to calm him down. Owens said quote i was talking to him to get him fired up. Is talking a way to get someone fired up? The media wouldnt of made a big deal about it unless they seen what everyone else did. Owens clearly yelling at his qb on the sidelines.
Notice only eagle fans come to owens aide. When yet they use to boo the man when he played against them for these reasons. Funny how that works. Boo mcnabb on draft day then cheer him when he has a good day.
It was a blowup, I saw it...TO was yelling at McNabb while McNabb was walking away from him....TO followed him around so he could keep yelling, and McNabb kept turning around and going the other way.... You dont calm someone down by following them around and yelling at them, especially if they are already calm and you are the one that is upset....One thing I dont understand is how the Eagles fans seem surpised and even in denial about Terrell Owens attitude....how many times has he pulled this tired act? This is the same guy that was bitching earlier because he wasnt involved in the offense enough during the 2nd half of a blowout they won....TO=Bad Seed....99% of high school coaches in the US wouldnt put up with this crap, but pro coaches have to(Reid brought it on himself because of a desperation to win the Super Bowl)....When they lose the NFCCG, and they will, and TO makes an ass of himself because of it, Reid should be fired, not because of a lack of success, but because he sold his own soul and the soul of the franchise to the devil for a chance at a title....yes, Im saying TO is the devil!!!
It did not look like TO was trying to calm anyone down. Just by body language alone, irritation was the only mood being expressed. My hat is off to McNabb for keeping as composed as he did. All the post game spin by the team is just that. To paraphrase, Bradshaw on the Fox pregame, "TO just doesn't get it & never will....he is selfish." Terrell has a proven track record of being a jackass and this is yet another example.
Even if it is a blow up, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Watching Pinkston stand there and accept mediocrtity, it's nice to have a guy that tries to win. This team has a lot of veterans, and TO blowing up will not make a difference. 2 weeks ago, Corey Simon was on the sidelines yelling at the whole team, whats the difference.
I've been waiting for TO to snap all season. I figured all it would take was one loss and I was right. Well...this wasn't just a loss...this was a pistol whipping. I wish he'd take a lesson from Randy Moss. He hasn't really "snapped" on the sidelines in a long time. I know he likes to talk to Culpepper a lot, but it's rare that you see those two going off on one another. Moss takes it to the field and doesn't leave it on the sidelines. Maybe in a few years TO will grow up, too. I doubt it, though.
I'm with you Westbrook. It wasn't a "blow-up", even if it was, big deal, Reggie Wayne and Peyton Manning's was 20x worse last week.
Are you guys retarded? HE HAD HIS ARM AROUND MCNABBS SHOULDERS!! TO: McNabb, when I part my arm around your shoulder, it means you suck and I want more passes I just don't understand why your all so quick to jump to conclusions
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TheBeef)</div><div class='quotemain'>One thing I dont understand is how the Eagles fans seem surpised and even in denial about Terrell Owens attitude</div> Here here! Why don't you just accept that this is what TO does? Look, I accept that Moss is going to say some stupid stuff and get himself into trouble at some point. He seems to have gotten to a level where it doesn't hurt the team as much, but I wouldn't be surprised if something happened again. So why can't Eagle's fans realize that TO is going to be selfish on the sidelines? Its who he is as a player. The Eagles organization has two options...either learn how to deal with TO's outbursts or get rid of him. The Vikings have given Moss a good position on the team where he can vent, and it means something. They stroked his ego enough to contain him. You can't change a TO, Moss, or Chad Johnson, you need to learn how to work your organization around them because they simply are that important.
So the talley is 6 votes for it is a huge blowup of monster proportions, 0 votes that it is no big deal
T.O.s arm wasnt around McNabb in the tirade I saw....McNabb kept a distance of a couple of feet, walking away from TO, as he followed him yelling....
