TO had a press conference today with his agent, where he read a much more sincere apology. Then his agent went on a 9 minute rant, blaming the media for TO's issues. When a reporter asked the agent if it was is fault (his new agent started working for TO right before these problems started this spring), the agent dodged and TO winked. My prediction: TO will fire his agent shortly, in an effort to salvage his season. I'm on the fence as to whether that'll actually help...

Unlike Keyshawn Johnson, TO actually cares that he isn't playing - and it isn't just the $800,000 he's going to lose for the 4 games he's going to be suspended.

Ooh...well...um... :blushing: Oh...you probably didn't mean it that way. :redface:

Gokul, you're welcome. :smile:

Trade him to the Raiders. They'll take him, and they'll probably have another high pick this year. The Eagles can pick up LenDale White or DeAngelo Williams, depending on who is available at that pick, and finally have a big back that can carry a heavy workload to complement Westbrook.

Russ, no one can help but like the Eagles --- but, you've really got to have a sense of humor. Otherwise, they'll break your heart.

Been pulling for 'em since the Gabriel-Jaworski days --- 1st & 10, 2nd & 20, 3rd & 30, 4th & 40 --- sigh.

I guess this thread will be open for a couple more years. Then again, the Patriots were in a similar situation the year they beat the Rams for their first title. They had lost five games and didn't look all that good at the midway point, but then pulled it together and won the rest of their games that year.

I'm telling you its the madden video game cover curse. Just look at the facts:

McNabb on the cover of Madden '06. What happens the very first game on the very first drive? he gets injured with a shot to the chest. he then gets a sports hernia, bruised shin, and throw some god awful ints to blow games. I am hoping for what lose said...by some miracle, hopefully the eagles will pull it together under McMahon and win the SB. But I don't see that happening.

Looks like this thread will be open for at least another year. McNabb gone for the rest of the season, due to surgery: http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/PHI/9055450

UGHHH! Never rely on the Eagles! Flat out pathetic: 6 turnovers.

Who would have thought the Eagles would finish the season last in the division (with no division wins), and 6-10 overall

I think they'll be back on their feet next year. At least we get a good draft pick!
