They were 4-2 before they totally fell apart. That's not stellar, no, but losing 2 out of 6 games is hardly something to whine about.

Still, for the sake of argument I'll grant that their start was not up to expectations - so now it's ok for Owens to act like a child? Who wants players who are only useful when things are on the up? Just like the old saying "A fairweather fan ain't a fan," I maintain a fairweather teammate isn't a teammate.

TO was very useful even when they were losing. All he did was talk too much. Remember, the eagles stopped TO from playing, TO did not stop playing for the eagles.

This was TO's reaction after the 49ers dropped their third straight to fall to 1-3 in 2003

Man that's a good read - thanks for posting it.

Whenever I'm watching TO speak I get the feeling it's one of those, "Help! I'm talking and I can't shut up!" situations. It's like he'll just go and go and dig himself into an amazing hole until someone cuts him off or the show runs out of airtime.

It's really quite humorous watching someone who almost literally can't stop talking.

mheisig- OK OK so he is not the best receiver. BUT I still think that having Moss and TO on the field would be great. I can't argue that he was not a jackass during this year. I think you can credit his agent for that one. I dont think that he was the 3rd highest paid receiver though. I cant rembember who was else was making more but when I heard it I thought what a slap in the face and that is still no excuse to hold out when you have a contract just signed last year. I also think deep down that Philly knew they signed him for a bargin.
