Re: T.O. asked to leave camp.

If he stayed after about the first half of the first game the Boos would stop. After about his third TD the boos would stop. If a player can back up his game the fans have short memories. I would not like a TO type player on the Skins but I wonder how long we would stay pissed at a guy if he was winning games for us.

That's a very good point if you are talking about Philly fans. They are among the most bi-polar fans in the world. They are the first to boo a player for any minor mistake......and then the first to cheer like crazy the minute that same player does something for them. They've done it to McNabb, Pinkston, Scott Rolen, Pat Burrell, Jim Thome........the list goes on and on. They have no loyalty to any player, but they also have the shortest memories of any fans I've ever seen. It's disgusting.

I remember watching a regular season game where they were up by more than a couple of touchdowns and the punter slightly shanked one for about a 30 yard punt. The whole place errupted in boos. Pretty funny.

Re: T.O. asked to leave camp.

They just interviewed TO while he was at his home in NJ and he said something to the effect of "if he [Reid] wants to be a man about this than we can go on the air and talk about it." He then stated that it [the altercation] was merely "a difference of opinion." Differences of opinion do not get you suspended for week. Unless, that is, they agreed to disagree which, I'm assuming, T.O. wouldn't agree to.

I don't think I could tolerate a guy who compares himself to Jesus and Rosa Parks and then calls Patrick Ramsey gay. Maybe I'm just bitter, but I would find it humorous if he did that with Brunell.

I know he made references to calling Jeff Garcia gay, did he call Patrick Ramsey gay also?

Read what I quoted when writing that. It was kind of a hypothetical about whether we would put up with him playing for the skins.
