Looks like Rush was wrong on this one. He predicted TO would go with Oakland.

I guess T.O. was smart enough to realize that a one-year deal was all he was going to get.

He’ll probably have a good season, because he’ll have something to prove.

Only thing he has going for him is that he's a media freak and probably voted for 0bama based on his past history.

Damn, I wanted to see him stay in the NFC East and sign with the Redskins. He was a Giants fan’s best friend, destroying whatever team he played for.

T.O. in Buffalo - I hope this doesn’t mean that Marshawn Lynch is on his way out.

He is a cancer on whatever team is foolish enough to have him. He no longer has superstar talent, but still has the ego and can’t see that his best days are behind him.

T.O. needs a crash course from Manny Ramirez....’How to get owners to give you lucrative contracts while acting like the team jackass’.

Understandable. I was sure he would sign with the Raiders. Everyone I spoke to about this agreed with me.

All they need now is to bring back “The Juice”. I have more respect for O.J. than T.O. ..well, not really, but...

TO is ok. The whole sitch in Dallas was dysfunctional.

As for Philly-- it's true, Owens wasn't the one who got tired at the end of the Superbowl! Owens had 10 catches for 120 yards coming off an injury! So for McNabb to throw a fit about it-- that guy cries as much as TO.

More. But McNabb always give media acceptable mia culpa’s after each poor performance.

Maybe if Rush had said something about TO like he did about McNabb TO would still have a job.

Rush may have given McNabb job security. There have certainly been enough reasons to bench him or fire him.

The Manny Ramirez of the NFL.

Except that Manny has championship rings. ....and a very large contract. ....and is far more valuable to his team that Owens ever was. .....and doesn't throw teammates under the bus. ...and doesn't conduct post-game drama queen press conference productions.

They can have him. Anything that makes my Pokes less weird. If they’d just fire the owner, we’d be on the road back.

Bills fans are the most patient in the league. They havent been to the playoffs in 10 years. If he causes some excitement, esp. for the Toronto games, then mgmt and fans are happy. If he is a jackass again, well, it’s only one year.....
