Owens meets with Broncos officials
- Thread starter caff
- Start date
Kreep...I see what your saying, I just think that my examples SHOULD BE considered worse.
True...they are not football related. But I think it's wierd how someone could say that they love Little (who has killed somone) cause he's a great pass rusher. But they hate T.O. cause he celebrates too much or talks about his QB.
I know one happened off the field and the other has more to do with football...I just don't agree with it.

And that's the same as TO?
Not wanting to go to a team where he would not flourish as opposed to not going to a team because they wont pay?
Also Did Elway ever call out the sorry as wr's he had when he played....uhh no.
How about the sorry ass olines when he first got into the league?? never called them out either.
But yes they are one in the same aren't they.
What did they blow out of proportion? Did they say he did 100 when he only did 50 push-ups at the interview?
did they say he called garcia a faggot when he said homosexual?
did they say he called Mcnabb sick and not able to carry the team when TO said he looked a little under the weather?
Did they say Baltimore is a sorry team and I will never play for them because of money, when all he said was Philly looks like a better place to be?

First of all...I never said they were the same. But...for Elway to come out and demand what he wanted to do before ever taking a snap was a bitch move. Would you agree with that? I would say that was worse than what T.O. did.
Owens never said he didn't want to go to Baltimore cause they won't pay. Feel free to prove me wrong, but that didn't happen. As a matter of fact...he had his deal done with Philly before he even got traded to Baltimore. All he had to was sign.
He wanted to go to the Eagles cause 1. he was a free agent, and 2. he wanted to "flourish"...same as Elway. Owens didn't like Gaycia...you think he was gonna like sorry as Boller?
They are not the same...but Elway, at that time, did show that me-first attitude.

I aGree he would have hated Boeller, but he didn't want to go there because they didn't want to give him the longterm BIG mney deal right away, where as Philly came in paid him a bit upfront then were going to try for a long term until he pulled another TO.
Was Elway selfish..yes, but it wasn't about money, it was about HIS JOB!!!! Elway was never a top paid qb even though he was always one of the top out there. in Indy he would never had the chance to becomce a top flight QB and he knew that.
Elway was more about the career and the longevity, where as TO is only about the upfront money and could care less if it's a 1 year or a 6 year contract as long as it is BIG MONEY!!!!
This is why he will not be in Denver. Bowlen and Shanny will only bring him in if he signs a lower term but high incentive contract...ths isn't what he wants. He will sign with the big money over anything and right now that sounds like it will be KC. But that affair will end when T-Gone and LJ get thier touches tasking away from TO.
Like you said the only way to know how this ends is to wait until he plays again, but based off of past history and also reading the words of his book straight from his mouth....it's all about TO and nothing else.

^WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, IT'S ALL ABOUT SELF. WHEN THE TEAM KIKS YOU OFF, WHAT HAPPENED TO BEIN' PART OF A TEAM? THAT'S WHY AS A PLAYER YOU HAVE TO KEEP FOCUS. WE KNOW THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT COMES DOWN TO YOU. ALL THIS FAKE NFL MORALITY BULLSHIT IS FOR THE PUBLIC. CAUSE IT COMES DOWN TO MONEY. EVERYTHANg ELSE IS A FRONT.
TO wants money but the smart money would be to sign with Denver on an incentive laden deal for one year good signing bonus win a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP with Denver restablish your market for 07 = big bucks...TO aint no dummy Denver is far closer than any of the other teams out there...Plus TO started the whole meeting w/Denver in the first place wheater or not ya like it I believe he going to sign with Denver....Place your bets now!!!
Of course it was the richest at the time...he was a #1 pick. Just like this years #1 will be the richest of all time...that comes with being a #1 pick.
And I agree it was a smart move on his part and it was more for the career part of it rather than the money part of it....do you agree with me on that?

Elway comming to Denver was all about carear in my book. the money was good too, but he wanted a team. baltimore had no team at that time. Elway is competitive as hell, an he knew he couldnt compete in baltimore, they had no plan or players.
so yea we are on the same page.
about Owens, he could really help us. but I cant stand the guy an really dont want him on my team. maybe if they threw a clause in his contract that said if he acts ups he has to goes heads up with Al Wilson.
I heard another rumor too that Edge wants to come here...........man he would put up HELLA yards in our system
