Yo, Geo !
Terrell Owens, the terror of San Francisco 49'ers receiving squad has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles.


Too bad for the Baltimore Ravens who thought they had him!

They did have him. The arbiter appafently was going to rule against the Ravens, but the three teams worked out a set of trades yesterday morning.

Still trying to figure out how a U. of Penn. perfesser was named arbiter of a case involving a Philly team.

So, Owens can join the ranks of the disappointed when they blow the playoffs again?

Great! Out here in 49er country we're glad to be rid of him. I sure feel sorry for you Eagles fans. Get ready for whining, #&%!$in' about the QB, the Coach, the fans etc. Owens is the type of player that will make a good team worse.

I might have to agree with Savage here. Owens can be a cancer to a team. I've always advoided him when picking my fanasty teams.

He can play, but his down side out weighs his up side. Trouble is, ever since they got Donovan, they've been only one good receiver away from taking it to the house.

If Owens can keep his chit together, Philly will be a good team and might shake there past problems in the playoffs....

If Philly can deal with the cry-baby antics of AI, we can deal with anything this guys got. (I kind of think its neat he had a marker in his sock!)

I cannot fathom how or why AI thought it was appropriate to sit ON THE 76ers BENCH wearing a BUcks Jersey. WTF, his teamates should kick his butt (or stuff a gun under the passenger seat in his car.)

Or hit Iverson in the lips with a metal chair like he did to a woman in a bowling alley brawl that he and his pals started in Hampton, Va about ten years ago.

I wonder if he ever bought her a new set of teeth with his millions.

AI is one great ballplayer, but his antics are wearing thin. Still, this is the town that dissed Charles Barkley out of town, so there's a "don't throw the (cry)baby out with the washwater" mentality at play.

If the man can catch footballs and score, and if his work ethic is what they're saying it is, then let him dance his little heart out.

At least he wants to play in this town. It's sometimes hard to get used to that phenomena.

Sometimes the projects work out and the can't miss guys go bust. Von Hayes comes readily to mind as an example of the latter.

TO's just one of three interesting pick-ups this off season. Takes the sting out of losing some of the other guys.

And treebeard, ya never know how a season's gonna play out until it's over. That's why they play the games. Chit happens! Balls take funny bounces, refs make lousy calls, fans get into the game, players choke, coaches screw up, it rains, the sun shines, it's cold, it's hot, and somebody changes their underwear in the middle of a winning streak.

We had one of those named Chuck Bednarik. Last NFLer to play offense and defense full time.

LT changed the way offense is played today! Great player on the field, Great snorter off the field!

Geo I meet Johnny U at a baseball card show, huge f-cking hands, wicked nice dude, and Broke as hell! he was a great in his time, but does not make my team, but it is just my team...lol

When Johnny was playing in his high tops and crew cut, if you were not ahead of the Colts by more than six with two minutes on the clock, you lost. If you were ahead by seven with two minutes to go, you tied.

There was never any football as exciting as the Colts in the two-minute drill under Johnny.

For your time that is true.

In my time John Elway was the equivalent....And I hated the Bronco's, but respected Elway.

The players of those days, the likes will never be seen again. All of them played for the love of the game. Part of the WE generation compared to now-a-days ME generation. I love old time sports. I never got to see much, but the films are on my TV often :-)

terrible owens is part of the three-headed "me-monster" which also consists of mandy moss and cryshawn johnson, that i detest. 3 athletes with enormous talent and zero concept of team. interesting that, despite their remarkable accomplishments on the field, 2 out of 3 of them are headed for new teams this fall.

Phiadelphia is starting to bear a resemblence to the pre-Brady Patriots.

All that talent and the inate ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when it's all on the line.

I'm with you on Parcells,Redhawk. He may have recently taken over the number one spot in NFL coaching history. If not, he's up there. I can't think of anyone who has turned THAT many teams around and made them winners as he's done. For example, who would have thought the Cowboys would have looked this good after such a short time. Think about it!

Just so there is no misunderstandings.

I am definitely not a Dallas Fan.

Don't care for anything out of texas, and I mean anything.

Was there once in 1959 and left knowing that was absolutely nothing there worth returning for.

I'm a dyed in the Wool Denver Fan, have been since it came into the league.

For the longest time it was "long suffering" Denver Fan.

Greatest year of my life was when Denver lwon the Super Bowl and UCONN won the NCAA championship.

But, Parcells is the best coach in view of the turnaround he has made with teams.
