The Super Aspirations of Terrell Owens: On Second Thought

» NYCScribe - On Second Thought

Perhaps Terrell Owens is more trouble than he's worth, even if he's worth a trip to the Super Bowl. Before this season even began, Owens griped about his contract, sniped at his quarterback, and feuded with his coaches. He has now upgraded the level of agitation he’s causing in Philadelphia by fighting a teammate and suggesting another quarterback would make the team a lot better. On top of this, he threw a fit when his 100th career touchdown reception wasn't properly acknowledged on the stadium's video screen. Owens' efforts to antagonize have earned him his second suspension of the year and, most likely, his job with the Eagles. This suspension will probably stick because Donovan McNabb apparently has finally reached the end of his impressive patience. The quarterback reportedly stood up before his teammates a few days ago and told them they either followed him or they followed Owens. The question now isn't whether Owens is leaving, but precisley when his departure date will be, and what team will be the next to take a gamble on his great talent and even greater ability to be a destructive force in the locker room of his own team.
