Terrell Owens is nothing but a cancer to his teammates and NFL. Good for the Eagles on this one.

Plenty of us never knew our fathers, grew up in a rough area and still will never be a fraction of the jerk he is.

On the other hand, Phillie 1st baseman Ryan Howard was voted Rookie of the Year. Now it remains to be seen how we're going to unload Jim Thome

Originally Posted By trekkeruss ^^ The article states: "The Eagles will have to pay Owens nearly $1 million to stay home the final five games." I'd love someone to pay me a milllion to stay home.

Originally Posted By Big Thunder It was announced that he wont be returning to the Eagles. Does'n come to me as a suprise, good player, but a spoiled brat. He still has a few more teams to join then leave. Players these days taint the sport
Originally Posted By TiggerPooh1973 I am sooo glad they took a stand! He is such a punk. It is a shame they have to pay him so much money though. I wasn't very happy when Dallas picked up Keshawn Johnson either, but he hasn't been too bad. I guess maybe Parcell knows how to keep him in line.
