Another Reason Why The Philadelphia Eagles Are Evil
There are numerous reasons why the Philadelphia Eagles are one of the NFL’s most evil organizations, but I want to discuss just one of the reasons today.
It’s no secret that the Eagles, Donovan “Baby-girl” McNabb and Terrell Owens didn’t get along. The Eagles suspended Owens for seven games in 2005 for behavior “that was disruptive to the team,” which translates in English as “McNabb is a little girl and you cannot criticize him.”
So, when you suspend a player, that team should eat the results. That includes any money you pay that player. Instead, the Eagles docked Owens’ pay for those suspended games, which in all essence seems fair. But to take away a pre-agreed $2.3 signing bonus is just wrong. He signed. It didn’t work out, rather the Eagles couldn’t make it work, so you eat the loss.
Nope. Not the evil Eagles. Instead, they sue Owens. Now Owens has to pay the Eagles $800,000 for the rest of the signing bonus even though he signed with the team.
Now, I know there are a lot of anti-Owens folks out there but you give me one good reason why this is fair! I want my Cowboys fans to go to this Eagles fan’s blog and tell him why this is complete crap! The Eagles cut him. They made the decision to kick him off the team. But he signed a contract. Owens didn’t ask to be removed. Owens asked to return to the team to play.
Another unbelievable action from the Eagles. Let’s recap: They cheer after a career ending injury to Michael Irvin; they toss missile snowballs with nails in them at Cowboys players and Hall of Fame coach to be Jimmy Johnson; they run up the score when the game is over with seconds left. What’s next, they hire a sniper on Tony Romo? What a bunch of jealous slobs that organization turns out to be after this situation. Try using some of that money to beautify your nasty little blighted city, pals. Every time I walk downtown there I feel like I am getting lice!

January 29th, 2008 at 7:29 pmI’d suggest that they sued him to get the cap relief, but we all know the Eagles never use their cap up anyway. It does seem a bit backwards that TO was fired and they get to get a portion of the salary cap back. Eagles always were cheap-ass bastids.
January 29th, 2008 at 8:23 pmGuy is on a roll today. Will he hit the next post with a monetary donation. My guess is he throws down a fifty!
January 29th, 2008 at 8:37 pmWe all know TO is going through some rough times TLH, so I have decided to make a food drive for the Owens family. I know this latest blow to his pocket make TO unable to put food on the table. So if you could please go through your cabinets, and find some canned food to donate to the cause. Even the smallest of donations will help.
January 30th, 2008 at 2:13 amw/e, Ian. I’m sure the Eagles organization has a tad more money than TO. But that’s not the point. The point is that the Eagles agreed to a contract with the man, then due to their own unwillingness to play him sued him for his signing bonus. I’m not a big TO fan, but that’s crap. Hopefully this costs them future free agents.
January 30th, 2008 at 7:54 amI think it is rather convenient actually. If TO hasn’t cashed that roster bonus check from the Cowboys yet, he can just sign it over to the Eagles and they can deposit it.
January 30th, 2008 at 2:50 pmSlim Jim TO signed a contract, and in that contract there was a clause that said there shall be no "behavior detrimental to the team". Well if TO broke that clause(which he did) the Eagles could take back a portion of his signing bonus. So TO knew that was a part of the contract, and he signed it. The Eagles did nothing wrong, and that is why the arbitrator ruled in favor of them.
January 30th, 2008 at 6:25 pmIan, there was no such clause.
January 30th, 2008 at 10:13 pmOk you can call mcnabb what ever you want landry hat but he actually got to the superbowl with t.o. where has romo got with owens…?? oh yea that’s right nowhere sorry buddy hop off romo’s dick hes just hype
