Reply #2: No, he wasn't a threat on the field, but a huge problem off-field

It started out last summer, after getting a plum contract last year, Owens was wanting even more out of the Eagles. They refused, and TO started to bad mouth the team, his quarterback and everything Eagle. After being sent home from training camp, TO made amends and came back to play.

However that attitude didn't last long. He was getting in fights with his team mates and becoming verbally abusive to everybody in the Eagle organization, and the root cause of all of this was money, he wanted ever more millions.

If finally came to a head a few weeks ago, and the Eagles sat his happy ass down. They suspended him for four games, and are going to in-activate him for the rest of the season after that. They will probably go after a couple of million in signing bonus also.

Frankly I think that this is all a good thing. Like I said earlier I hate millionaires complaining about money, or the lack there-of. I also hate people who make a spectacle out of themselves when they don't get their way. Hopefully this will to get through to some of the other "problem children" in the NFL and stave off some future incidents.
