Eagles Done with T.O.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...157/index.html
The tempestuous star receiver won't return to the Philadelphia Eagles this season - or probably ever - because of "a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time,'' coach Andy Reid said Monday.
Owens was suspended Saturday, two days after he said the Eagles showed "a lack of class'' for not publicly recognizing his 100th career touchdown catch in a game on Oct. 23. In the same interview with ESPN.com on Thursday, Owens said the Eagles would be better off with Green Bay's Brett Favre at quarterback instead of Donovan McNabb.
Owens also was involved in a fight last week with former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas, who remains with the team as its "ambassador.'' Owens apologized for his comments about the organization in a brief statement on Friday, but he didn't apologize to McNabb or the team.
About damn time. I feel sorry for whatever team ends up taking him.
