Full Source - Philly.com<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Disgruntled wide receiver Terrell Owens reportedly has left the Philadelphia Eagles training camp after a dispute with head coach Andy Reid.According to various reports on television and radio, Owens exchanged words with Reid at a team meeting and was asked to leave.Owens then reportedly got his belongings and cleared out of Eagles training camp at Lehigh University, according to one television report.The Philadelphia Inquirer will update and confirm this information as soon as possible.Owens did not practice with the team this morning, but he did work out with a trainer.Owens, in the midst of a contract dispute with the team, has suffered with a recurring groin injury that he aggravated Sunday. The receiver is unhappy in the second year of his seven-year, $48.97 million deal.Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, was in New York today for a taping of the Late Night With David Letterman show. </div>Wow. WTF is going on. Was he asked to leave after the "meeting" or did he choose to? Can't wait to find out. Owens really is acting like a kid and making Reid a babysitter. This has gotten out of control.
Didn't he start sprinting on the field after the whole team was done with their practice?Anyway...Andy Reid told him to shut up, so TO says "Don't tell me to shut up, I'm a grown man."Then he left. I don't know if he was asked to leave or what. Everything is still kind of unclear.
I really don't get it, this guy needs to grow up, and stop acting like such a little kid. He is one of the better paid NFL players, and he is on a great team, that has a good shot at winning the Super Bowl this year, what more could he want? Grow up!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (7th sign @ Aug 10 2005, 01:51 PM)</div><div class='quotemain'>seriously he has a good contract IMO , dont know why he's being such a b*tch</div> Yeah exactly, jesus christ, if I was on $49 Mill over 7 years, I certainly wouldnt be complaining. Not to mention the other millions he's already made through Football & Endorsements etc.He's just getting greedy.To be honest, I think hes a great player, but if he's going to take this attitude, i'd rather see him play some where else next year, he's just gonna bring down the team morale.
Turns out he was suspended for 1 week by Andy Reid. Like I said before, Reid is one of the better coaches and doesn't have to be a babysitter. I have a whole new view on Owens now, and it's not a good one.
You guys think that there's the potential for a long holdout during the season? It seems more and more likely as the days pass by.

Lets just all agree that T.O is an idiot, lol. It wouldnt surprise me at all if he did holdout most of if not all of the season.He's currentley on a contract that would see him paid around $500,000 per game for the next 7 seasons, and he claims he doesnt have enough to feed his family? Give me a break.

His attitude DEEPLY overshadows his enormous talent and athletism. Its a shame when players start to become THIS greedy and THIS immature

What the hell was he doing there?
yea i saw it on tsn they were showing the highlights of the game and they showed him in the crowd , my guess is that his agent is prolly talking with the falcons or else why would he say that he was going to the bahamas

well he's really dumb if he wants to go with the falcons he said he wanted the ball and the falcons are focused on the run , but they still pass tho with price , i dont think T.O in atlanta would happen

Its Vick's team, find a team with no leader TO!
