Let the McNabb-Owens’ fireworks start again, folks.
Around training camp time last year, Terrell Owens was doing calisthenics in his driveway for members of the media while serving a suspension from Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid.
It appears that this season, at least as training camp is reopened for the Eagles, the memory of T.O., who is now a Dallas Cowboy, is still fresh on everybody’s mind. And every question fired by the media about Owens is directed right at quarterback Donovan McNabb.
When McNabb was asked what he thought about Owens’ latest autobiography, T.O., McNabb referred to it as a ‘children’s book’ and that he hadn’t read it yet.
In T.O. , which came out earlier this month, Owens mostly offers his side of his tumultuous second season in Philadelphia. McNabb joked that he should have been a co-author because Owens mentioned the five-time Pro Bowl quarterback at length in the book.
“It won’t sell unless he’s talking about me,” McNabb said, adding that he didn’t read the book and is waiting to play himself in the movie.
Owens likens McNabb to a bully who spat in his mouth as a teenager while he innocently slept on a school bus. He traces the root of the friction to when McNabb didn’t throw him the ball on a play in a game during his first season with the Eagles.
McNabb scoffed at Owens’ version of events.
I like the fact that McNabb is speaking his mind out about Owens this year, since he was criticized for not doing it more last year. But how much more fuel does Owens need to play well against the Eagles this year?
The guy is a drama queen and a baby, but he always plays hard on the field and I’d assume that McNabb and the Eagles would rather just leave the T.O. mess behind them.
We all know that Owens will fire something back within the next few days…who isn’t ready for these two teams to meet twice in the regular season?
