Terrell Owens has already worn out his welcome in Baltimore, without ever being in town. Apparently TO wanted to be an Eagle, but the 49ers pulled a fast one on him and his agent and now he's a Raven. Anyway, he ain't happy:
"I'm a Raven for now, but not for long...The deal was set [in Philadelphia] and then the unthinkable happened. Not sure of what Philly was giving in exchange, but I was happy for all of about five minutes."-Terrell Owens about five hours after the trade.
Say what you want about TO's ability, but he's without a doubt the biggest baby in the league. It's pretty funny how the NFL is responsible for his agent's ineptitude. Note to TO: You are an adult. You are responsible for your actions. You still make over $5 million a year. Fire your agent.
I should work for ESPN

"Even the personnel men leaguewide who feel Clinton Portis is a terrific young back are in agreement that the Washington Redskins got hoodwinked on the trade that sent corner Champ Bailey and a second-round draft choice to Denver. Even as a straight-up deal, one-for-one, the Broncos would have had an edge, because cornerback is one of the most premium positions in the league, by any measure. But to have thrown in a second-round pick along with a four-time Pro Bowl cornerback who is just 25 years old was viewed as ludicrous..."Well this is exactly what I wrote on Monday. Of course, every other person not buying into the 'Joe Gibbs Philosophy on Winning' was saying this too, but that's beside the point. The Redskins have been signing free agents with an urgency reminiscent of recent Skins teams that have floundered come September. And since the Redskins have traded away all but two of their draft picks, there are reports that they might sign Dexter Manley to replace all-time sack leader, and maybe one of the most selfish people in football, Bruce Smith.
