TO reports to Eagles training camp
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2122096

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Terrell Owens bobbed his head to the music on his headphones, ignored dozens of reporters and walked quietly into his dorm room.

His silence and attire -- Owens wore a camouflage shirt and cap -- spoke volumes about his mood.

Owens reported to training camp Monday, ending months of speculation about whether the disgruntled All-Pro receiver would hold out because of a contract dispute with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Though Owens refused to answer questions, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, accompanied him and said he will meet with Eagles coach Andy Reid and president Joe Banner on Tuesday to discuss his client's contract.

"All the talk, all the rhetoric in the offseason is meaningless," Rosenhaus said. "He's here. He's not happy with his contract, but he's a professional and he'll do his best to help the Eagles win a championship."

...more...

And Iggles fans everywhere collectively exhale.

1. Well, that seals it. I wonder if the Eagles will even win their
division this year?

2. It'll be Philly and Atlanta and six days of rain
and I think Atlanta has the edge this time. Other than those two teams, the NFC is a death ship this year.

3. Yeah, I think you're right. It's the AFC as far as the eye can see...

4. the rest of the NFC just let out a collective, "Oh, shit".

the eagles with TO are probably the preseason favorites for the SB; without him the conference is a toss up.

and Drew Rosenhaus is becoming the football version of Scott Borass; Spawn of Satan.

5. Did I mention how much I love Donovan McNabb?
Watching his behavior this week, compared to TO's, has just increased my respect for him.

I wonder if he'll go into coaching when his career as a player is over.

6. The reason why T.O. is never double teamed...
...is that no one can find two people who can stand to be around him!
