Amen. Lets look even deeper at T.O., lets look at motivation. He loves the attention? Yes, he probably does. That is kind of lagniappe for him though. He was there for the beginning of the fall of the 49'ers. If T.O. had been the cause of the Niners problems, they would be fixed now. They are not, his team was dysfunctional. The guys like T.O. and Shockey, like them are not, are the smoke that indicate a problem within an organization. They are the symptom of a problem, not the cause.

Moving on to the Eagles, T.O. was great his first year, and truly performed a herculean feat to play and perform in the Super Bowl. A Super Bowl he lost because his quarterback choked. McNabb did choke, too. He suddenly realized that the Eagle's string of NFC Championship losses suggest that McNabb is Big Money Choker.

I have seen guys who can whip your butt on a pool table all night long for $5 a rack, but you can clean them out in an hour for $50 a rack. McNabb is one of those guys. Top tier talent that is afraid of the view. T.O. knows he isn't getting younger, and a new QB was not an option in Philly, and he didn't think it possible to win it all in Philly. He got out the only way he could.

I'm not even defending their actions here, I'm just saying that these guys are this way for a reason. They don't start trouble, they announce it. We don't have that kind of trouble here. Therefore, we will have no problems with Shockey. We are not a problem organization.

Heck, think about Kyle Turley. Alot of people are mad at Turley, but it also turned out his observations about Haslett being a moron were pretty much dead-on. Don't lose sleep over having a smoke alarm because it might go off, as long as we make sure we don't leave the oven on all night we don't have to worry about it.
