Sometimes you have to ask the question even when you know the answer. Otherwise, you've made an assumption and you know what they say about people who assume.
So the question was asked of the Eagles this morning: Safe to assume you guys have no interest in the recently released Terrell Owens?
"No interest," a team source revealed.
Shocking. A lot of people are now predicting that T.O. will end up in Oakland, following in the career-ending footsteps of his former teammate Jerry Rice. The only difference between Rice and T.O. are the Super Bowl rings and playoff wins.
Hard to believe that T.O. hasn't been on the field for a playoff victory since catching the game-winning pass from Steve Young in a 1999 game against Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers. The NFL Network broadcast that game last night and it was a lot of fun to watch for a number of reasons.
You saw a slimmed-down Andy Reid in his final season as the Packers' quarterbacks coach, Reggie White playing in his final game with the Packers and T.O. crying for the first time -- but not the last -- in his turbulent career.
CORRECTION: I incorrectly reported Stacy Andrews' base salary for 2009 and his the overall value of his contract in today's paper. The base salary for 2009 is $1.62 million and the overall value of the deal is $38.5 million not including incentives and escalator clauses.
Good— jaydes- Bob, check your facts. TO caught 1 or 2 TDs in a classic playoff comeback by SF against the giants in early 2003. though i recall TO had a stupid unsportsmanlike call against him late in that game. it was a great performance in one of the best playoff games of the decade. i hate TO and don't want him anywhere near philly, but give him his props for that game. SF went on to get blown out by Tampa Bay in the div round, and we don't need to recap the unspeakable tragedy that went down the week after in the vet's last game.— dukealex
- I would also say another glaring difference was that Rice was a team player and solid role model. I would rather my children look up to Kevin Curtis.— ematusko
- T.O. and Allen Iverson will never, ever, ever win a championship. Ever.— TheDude
- Lets have a story book ending and bring back T.O. and give McNabb the Weapon he needs so badly to win the Super Bowl. Welcome Back T. O.— xmar
- You're Wrong. He was on the field for the come back victory against the G-Men in 02-03.— JIMMY D
- WE WANT T.O. BACK!— NeverSunnyInPhiladelphia
- Bring 2 back! With 2, Curtis and Jackson McNabb will put up ridiculous numbers!— Clarkeisgod
- The Eagles proper answer should have been, HELL NO!— erniebanks14
- Yeah but seriously ... wouldn't it be hilarious if he was one of the WEAPONS the front office brings in that #5 was begging for? Heh. "You SAID you wanted weapons, Donovan! We got you T.O. back! Now about that contract renegotiation ..."— nhphilly
- I'd take him back in a heartbeat.— IMPAQ
- Xmar forgot his meds today.— gtb513
- nope, no T.O. Get Tory Holt da*nit !!— Will.i.Am
