Terrell Owens is a jerk. Many have known that for years due to his incredibly cocky style and antics on and off the field. He also has a mouth that may just be bigger than Warren Sapp's. Now he has proven that he is a greedy jerk. After last season where he spent 6 weeks on the disabled list, but came back to play in the Super Bowl, he has decided that he is not being compensated enough for his services. Before last season he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles for $49 million over 7 years.
Over this offseason he has fired his agent and signed with even-bigger jerk, Drew Rosenhaus. This guy has more clients of his holdout than probably anybody else. Anyway, back to T.O. He was perfectly happy with his contract last year, but now it is not enough. And evidently his family is suffering with the timy contract he has now. A quote from him: "What it all boils down to is I'm going to do what's best for my family." I guess that his family cannot live on $7 million a year.
Can you believe that his ideals are that out of wack? $49 million is a lot of money and could be used to help a lot of impoverished nations, but it is not enough money to feed his family. He really needs a wake call.
So what is going to be his response to this? He is throwing a big temper tantrum. If they don't pay him, he's not coming to work. I hope that they don't trade him. I hope they fine his happy butt and sit him for his contract until he's old and slow. Maybe then he might learn to reset his priorities and ideals.

Couldn't agree with you more matt. T.O. is a brat. Maybe he should take some lessons from a certain Michael Schumacher who once dropped $10 million on a flooded Hungarian village after driving through it on his way to a race. I do have to disagree with you on Warren Sapp. That guy turned trash talking into an art form.
Kinda thought that first comment might disappear!
Honestly the reason these guys get paid huge sums of money is our fault. We pay the ticket prices to go to the games. The ticket prices and food sales ar the maor revenue points for these clubs. If we don't pay, they don't get paid. Their salaries will only continue to bloat until we as the paying public decide the game is a farce and not worth dropping have a days wage to see a bunch of spoiled children get paid ungodly sums of money to play a game they love.
