I sided with Owens during that whole debacule.

Were you posting back then? I do not remember you defending Owens. Not saying you didn't. I say this because I was one of the lone voices in the wilderness defending Owens. Especially during his stay in Philadelphia. McNabb and his giant-sized EGO was always the problem, not T.O.

But back then, TO was the personification of all things evil to that vast majority of the NFL Freepers. McNabb caused the problems and still does to this day. Only Superbowl appearance by McNabb was when they had TO.

I was posting back then, and if I saw a tread about it I am sure I would have said something (I normally don’t hold back). Anyway, my brother had Owens in his Fantasy Football team and he was royally pissed. I have watched both players for a long time and I remember McNabb was one of like 8 or 10 “running” QB’s to come out of college over a two or three year period. I said back then that as soon as he looses his “running” ability his career will flounder (also said the same about Culpepper and I had him in FFB his first year, when he actually was good).

All I really have to say is re-watch the Philly Super Bowl. Both supposedly played hurt, and IIRC Owens injury was something like a broken bone and it was a hell of a lot more serious then McNabb’s. McNabb has always been a whiny $itch.

Don’t get me wrong, Owens ego is about as big as it gets but when you’re that good you can get away with arrogance. If you are of McNabb’s caliber then all you are doing is making excuses.

Also, remember when Owens supposedly tried to commit suicide and McNabb said he called to wish him his best. Owens punked him out and basically said McNabb never called him. McNabb was just trying to look good for the press and got called out.
