-- Owens to Miami Herald, July, 2005
The attention whore of the NFL has finally received his just desserts. If he had done this earlier this year, maybe he would have had the chance to play with Brett Favre. I don't think anyone will pick up this asshat. What should've been a brilliant career has been blown by this man's stupidity.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Terrell Owens won't return to the Philadelphia Eagles this season, coach Andy Reid said Monday. The
"The league has been notified by the players' union that they will be grieving our right to take that action," Reid said, "therefore there is nothing more that I can say at this point."
Owens was suspended over the weekend following a tumultuous week in which he criticized the club, fought with a former teammate and took another verbal shot at quarterback Donovan McNabb.
"I do want it to be clear that this decision is a result of a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time," Reid said.
Owens "had been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions," Reid said. "We gave Terrell every opportunity to avoid this outcome."
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.
That Owens thinks he can have a discusion on who has class just boggles the mind.
Owens was involved in a fight last week with former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas, who remains with the team as its "ambassador."
McNabb, who feuded with Owens throughout the summer and has been a constant target of his criticism, finally took a stand in the matter, saying the Eagles might be "better off" without Owens.

I am not an Eagles fan, but I am giving them a big bravo for their actions today. They have shown a lot of class in dealing with this asshole the last few days. If anyone does pick this guy up, make sure to have a fireworks display whenever he scores. Sorry T.O. Maybe someday you'll learn there's no "E" at the end of team.
From now on this blog will pass out T.O. awards for stupid asshat people that don't qualify themselves for Darwin status. Attention whoring will also play a factor.
