At the beginning of the NFL season, a group of us at Bullz-Eye decided to pick one overrated team and one underrated team. I picked last, so I wound up picking St. Louis as my underrated team (they need to win out in order to live up to my prediction of 12 wins). Just to be perverse, I chose Philadelphia as my overrated team, claiming:
“…the entire organization has made the fatal mistake of relying on enfant terrible Terrell Owens, the most self-centered player in football, to save them. Which means the team is one (inevitable) temper tantrum away from complete and utter chaos.”
Complete and utter chaos happened this week in an interview with ESPN.com’s Graham Bensinger. T.O. pointed fingers far and wide (though never at himself, of course), and burned every single bridge that ever existed between him and Eagles management and teammates. His apology was hilarious in its cluelessness, saying, “It has been brought to my attention that I have offended the organization and my teammates. Therefore, I would like to apologize for any derogatory comments toward them.” Someone had to bring it to your attention, T.O.? Wow, dude, you’re even dumber than I thought, and I already thought you were pretty dumb.
I never thought I’d say these words, but the battery-throwing Philadelphia fans deserve better than this.
