T.O. kicked outta camp

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens exchanged words with head coach Andy Reid at a team meeting Wednesday and was asked to leave, according to news reports.

Owens then got his belongings and cleared out of Eagles training camp at Lehigh University, according to two television reports.

Earlier Wednesday, he had missed practice for the fifth time in six days because of a left groin injury.

Owens worked out with the team's assistant trainer for about 20 minutes on a separate playing field from his teammates, catching balls from a machine and doing some light running. He did not speak to reporters or acknowledge the fans who chanted his name.

The All-Pro receiver sat out practices last Friday and Saturday. He returned Sunday for both the morning and afternoon sessions, but hasn't practiced since.

Owens is unhappy the Eagles have refused to redo his contract as he enters the second season of a seven-year, $48.97 million deal.

Last season, Owens had 77 receptions for 1,200 yards and a franchise-record 14 touchdowns before severely injuring his ankle late in the season. He missed the final two regular-season games and the first two playoff games before returning for the Super Bowl, in which he had nine receptions for 122 yards.

 

awesome.

 

Super Bowl hangover for a very deserving team.

 

Reid Rocks!

 

Exactly. I'm glad someone is standing up to these overpaid egotistical athletes.

 

he will be fined $6000 for each day he misses camp beginning thursday and $200,000 for each game missed during the regular season. philly does not plan on dealing him to anyone. the eagles front office will not budge and owens has painted himself into a corner, this could get REAL ugly now. stay tuned sports fans.

 

I would not get my hopes up.

 

How much do you think they should be paid?

 

The amount he signed the contract forlast year?
