T.O.

So... Terrell Owens has decided that he doesn't need to honor the contract he signed in good faith, and he'll be "unhappy" in training camp if his contract isn't renegotiated.

The man is earning seven million dollars a year. If he doesn't want that money, give it to me. I certainly could find a few uses for it.

I hope the Eagles stick to their guns and don't renegotiate with him. Did he really expect that he would continue to be the highest-paid reciever every year of his contract? I'm sure he gave his all, but that's what he's supposed to do. I only got a 2.5% raise the last time I had a pay raise. But then again, I wasn't earning seven million dollars a year. In layman wages, T.O. earns $3846/hour. And he feels disrespected? Shut up and go away.

And, if he's a disruptive presence in training camp, I hope he gets sent home a la Meshawn Johnson. Or, better yet, don't give him the back pages he loves. Don't show him on Sportscenter. Maybe then he'll shut up and realize that in the real world, no one walks away from seven million dollars just because someone else is earning eight million.
