"PHILADELPHIA -- An arbitrator has upheld the Philadelphia Eagles' four-game suspension of Terrell Owens, and the team has the right to deactivate him.

Arbitrator Richard Bloch heard more than 13 hours of arguments last week.

"The finding is that the club has shouldered its burden of proof of clear and convincing evidence of player misconduct in that the four-week suspension was for just cause," Bloch wrote in his decision. "Additionally, there was no inherent violation of the labor agreement in the club's decision to pay Owens but not practice or play him due to the nature of the player's conduct and its destructive and continuing threat to the team."

Personally I think that this is a good thing. I'm sick and tired of hearing multi-millionaires whining about how poor they're paid, and acting out like spoiled children when somebody tells them no. I realize that this is going to hurt the Eagles, but they have earned my respect with this action, and hopefully this will prevent some of this nonsense from occurring in the future.
