Wheres TO Gonna GO?
I had went to bed thinking it was a done deal. The Tuna betrayed me again and the Cowboys play flat again in a game that I had picked them to win. I get up this morning and was shocked to find that the Cowboys scored two late TD's 14 seconds apart and stun the Eagles 21-20. This all but assures the Eagles will miss the playoffs for the first time since Donavon McNabb's rookie year. McNabb made a horrible mistake in this game throwing a pass that Roy Williams picked off and went 46 yards for the winning score. The pass was so ill timed, I could have picked it off and went 20-30 yards with it. You let an all-pro like Williams get something like that... The Eagles are adjusting badly to life without TO, having dropped 2 tight games. Would he have made a difference? More than likely, but we'll never know. The Eagles may now wish that they had just suspended TO for a game or fined him a game check or something. Now you ask me, was the punishment justified? I thought it was a bit harsh, but the precedent had been set when the Bucs sat Keyshawn Johnson after Jon Gruden tired of his bitching. The Eagles figured that sitting TO down would be the best case. They might be hurt in the short term but they will be a better team for it. Speaking of a girl named Suzy (sorry for the Tribe Calle Quest reference) The spec now goes to where the locaquacious receiver will land now. You can eliminate all but three teams according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen Miami, Denver and curiously Dallas where Keyshawn Johnson has been since last season. Miami wouldn't work cause their QB situation is a mess and it would be a hot second before TO started up again. Denver is an interesting scenario. You know that Shanahan likes to take a gamble or ten. Pokes owner Jerry Jones wasn't shy about expressing his interest in TO despite his showboating on the Cowboys Logo at Texas Stadium a few years ago. Albert Pujols had better win the MVP. Derek Lee is a nice story and had a good year and Andruw Jones is a stud/pimp in his own right, but Pujols is simply put the best player in baseball not named Bonds.
