A Few Words For T.O.

IMAGINE for a moment that I could say a few words to T.O. I'd tell him that with the exception of a few players, most of the public thinks he's acting like a total ass! You signed a contract, T.O. And like all the rest of us, we must abide by our contracts, like it or not. Contracts are legally binding. We cannot simply decide that we want a new contract. You make good money, T.O. A whole lot more than most of us. For what, T.O.? To play a game! You're not saving lives. You're not changing the world. Iraq, Iran, Korea, Israel, Palestine, Dafur, and all the other trouble spots in the world could care less about what you do, T.O. You have NO impact on what happens to most people in the world. And you think you're something special! All you care about, T.O. is you and yours! I would explain to T.O. my plan: you play the game the best you can, and if you're not going to do that, then you can sit on the bench and rot! I don't care if the Eagles pay you your millions a year to keep that seat warm. Then, when your contract is up, T.O. you can move on. That is if any other team wants you then. Who wants a trouble maker, T.O? Who wants a player that causes disruption within the team? What team needs all the negative publicity?
Now REALITY. T.O. will continue to make his millions of dollars. If the Eagles decide to let T.O. go, there will probably be several NFL teams that will jump on the chance to get T.O. You see, in the NFL, it's all about the $$$! There is no team in the NFL; the bottom line is the $$$! This is not the good old days of professional football when teams played for honor and championships.
Football is the one sport I really enjoy. But over the years, I have become more and more disillusioned by the nonsense that happens in the NFL. The T.O. happenings is just another reason to perhaps turn away from professional football. I would hate to do that, but it really is discouraging to see such behavior.
