Tony,
I'm not one of these guys who drink the media cool-aid spin.
I still say that T.O. did nothing wrong.
Well, I take that back, he certainly didn't do anything that deserved to be suspended for the rest of the season. A little yappin' of the mouth isn't a crime. He's the kind of guy, you just ignore, and let him score 92 yard touchdowns.
And I standby my belief that having a big mouth is not as bad as snortin' cocaine. In fact, one is illegal, no wonder L.T. kept it to himself. You do agree with that, I hope.
With that being said, this is a down year for the Eagles, and for some reason is the norm for a Super Bowl loser. The Raiders, Panthers, Rams will all back that up.
It's tough getting to the top. It's even tougher staying there. Even the Patriots had a down year after the first Super Bowl win.
The Eagles have a ton of injuries, lost some good players via free agency, no excuses, just facts. Now with the lose of T.O. they probably won't recover this year.
Unlike New Jersey fans, we Philly fans will admit when some other team is comming on, and I'll admit that the Jersey Giants are comming on.
But get this, the season is only 1/2 over. The Eagles may not get to the Super Bowl this year, but when your GiAints go up aginst them in 2 weeks, you will be worried.
I will miss T.O.
The NFL will miss T.O.
Even if you did not like him, he added personality to a boring, robotic league.
Those that agree with the suspenion, I hope your happy, and have fun watching the boy scout, choir boy NFL.
Larry
Still an Eagles fan....but now, less of a one
