Suffering from ads?

Yea, everything's really cloudy right now with the Bears offense, but do you think it was a mistake of the Bears to trade down and take Grossman, instead of staying at the top of the board and take Leftwich?

Here is a real letter that currently appears on TO's website... I've highlighted some of the more amusing lines

quote:

2005-08-12 -- Terrell Owens would like to publicly thank his fans
Friday, Aug 12th 2005

Terrell Owens would like to publicly thank his fans for their continued, and unwavering support.

Despite all the negative publicity, the fans have remained objective, and optimistic. This positive reinforcement has inspired Terrell to work as hard as he can to improve on last years standout season. He plans to catch more balls than he ever has, and believes his on-the-field heroics will far outweigh any off-field criticism thrown his way. Through his actions, Terrell has continued to defy the negative speculation that has surrounded him, and he has proven himself to be a professional.

Despite all the rumors and innuendo Terrell has shown up to work on time, and from the moment he arrived he has given his all, picking up right where he left off in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately for Terrell, this gung-ho approach led to the aggravation of a nagging groin injury. Realizing that this could have been perceived as a negotiating ploy, Terrell has done everything possible to accelerate his rehab.

Regrettably, recent events have unfolded in a way that may paint a negative picture of Terrell. This situation has mushroomed far beyond what should be considered adequate coverage, and Terrell has become the media’s favorite whipping boy. While this is discouraging, Terrell knows this is part of the business. To the fans he simply says that this was an isolated incident that was not premeditated. Terrell in no way wishes to be a disruption to the ultimate goal of winning the Super Bowl. In fact Terrell has gone out of his way to diffuse the tension by keeping to himself in all non-practice related affairs. During practice and work related situations he has been and will be attentive and responsive; Terrell only asks what every other worker in America asks for, respect and dignity.

Terrell will return to camp and continue to display the work ethic, and on-the-field dedication that has made him one of the world’s most elite athletes. For you the fan, and your continued support in the most difficult of times, Terrell plans to reward you with a season for the ages. Where small men succumb, great men overcome!

Last but not least Terrell would like to extend his appreciation for the continued support from all the members on Terrrellowens.com Message Board.

Zopp beat me to it. I was just going to face the same things.

It seems unlikely it was heat stroke. Yeah experts say it can happen in cool weather (it was in the mid 60's during the game), but I doubt it.

He may have been taking some weird performance enhancing drugs, and maybe had a pre-existing heart condition. Who knows.

I think te 49ers would say these downtimes are a decent tradeoff for 5 SuperBowl championships and ~20 years of 10 or more wins.

Tired of ads?

No. When your team sucks in the present, no amount of Superbowls in ancient history will make up for it, especially when your team sucks as bad as the 49ers. Now if they start winning that's a different story. Then those Superbowls begin to matter again.

This QB Mike McMahon has mad skills. If McNabb ever went down, I would feel confident with this guy in there. He will easily win 2nd string job. I cant believe Detroit let him walk..

Well, they have Jeff Garcia now, who's pretty adequate as a backup as well. It was smart pick-up by the Eagles nonetheless, even though there are worse backups around than Koy Detmer.

Another point for why you are on crack.

McMahon sucks. I was around during his college career (at Rutgers.. can you guess if he had a winning record ). He's an incredibly overrated backup. Think Scott Mitchell with less skils.

Actually back during the time you hated him, Madden was at his best. When he wasn't senile, he was by far the best color commentator in the game, picking out things that most people wouldn't see. Now, he just yells BOOM and points out the obvious.
