NFL Futures Betting: T.O.’s Next Reckless Steps
READ MORE: NFL Futures, Philadelphia Eagles, Terrell Owens
Great game last night! Wooh. Stunning, really. It’s 1999 all over again in Iggles Country. Our Doug Pedersen jersey is being ironed as we speak.
Okay, enough whining. The only thing we did get right about last night’s game was the predictability of Philadelphia’s anti-Terrell Owens fervor. Old #81 jerseys defiled and desecrated, the patented “T.O. Who?” signs, and the unflagging support for Donovan McNabb, which was very inspiring until he threw the soul-crushing interception that should ultimately ruin the Eagles’ season. Anyway, enough about the Eagles team—let’s refocus attention back to T.O. Because, as sad as it is, that’s the only thing interesting about the 2005 Philadelphia Eagles. Betmaker has set ridiculous odds on what will be the next move for Terrell Owens:
THE EAGLES FORGIVE T.O. AND BRING HIM BACK TO HELP SALVAGE THEIR DISAPPOINTING SEASON +400THE EAGLES FOLD TO THE NFLPA`SPRESSURE AND CUT T.O. WHO THEN SIGNS ANDPLAY WITH A DIFFERENT MASOCHISTIC TEAM +300
T.O. TAKES A COMMENTATOR POSITION WITH FOX, AND SPENDS SUNDAYS DISCUSSING HIS FAVORITE FOOTBALL TOPICS: HIMSELF, AND THE GODLIKE BRETT FAVRE +1200
T.O. BECOMES THE NEXT FOOTBALL PLAYER TO BE A CONTESTANT ON SURVIVOR +1000
T.O. FALLS OFF THE MAP, ONLY TO RESUSCITATE HIS CAREER WITH AN APPEARANCE ON THE SURREAL LIFE, AND A SUBSEQUENT SPIN-OFF
T.O. USES HIS CONNECTION WITH NICOLETTE SHERIDAN TO LAND A ROLE AS ONE OF CARLOS’ PRISON BUDDIES ON DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES -1000NONE OF THE ABOVE -350

Fantasy Football: Can This Man Save Your Season?
READ MORE: ESPN Insider, Fantasy Football, Reggie Brown, Terrell Owens
This is Eagle’s wide receiver Reggie Brown, the player most Terrell Owens owners have added in the hopes that he will in some way make up for the loss of the number one wide receiver spot this year. We’re confused as to why so many people are giving this guy looks over Greg Lewis at this point. Could Brown become McNabb’s favorite target by the end of the season? Of course. But we still like Greg Lewis to get the majority of the looks. He’s proved himself in the offense and Reggie Brown has had a whopping three catches so far this year. Yet, it also seems like everybody in fantasy football is hopping on the Reggie Brown bandwagon at this point. Dude’s getting so much hype that he’ll probably get double coverage against the Cowboys on Monday night. The reality is that this Eagle’s offense will probably revert back to the old West Coast-style offense that spread the ball around and depends upon those little dink passes. Owens was big enough and fast enough to take those passes and make touchdowns out of them. ESPN’s Tristan Cockroft sums up Brown’s potential best:
Is Reggie Brown worth a pickup? Yes, but don’t make the mistake of assuming he’ll catch five-plus passes and approach 100 yards receiving every week. Brown’s stock gets a noticeable boost, making him a worthy No. 3 or 4 option when the matchup is right, but overall, don’t expect more than 30-35 catches and 450 yards in his final eight games.
So, relax. Stick to your Bobby Engram’s and Antonio Chatman’s and try to make up the points loss some place else this season. Like that Nigerian dude from the Packers.

Well, everybody that looked like a genius drafting Terrell Owens in the third round has finally got what they deserved. Well, not really. They didnt’ deserve it. Nobody did. But for all the good the man brings to a football team, it’s amazing that his awful personality can completely ruin his own career. As an Eagle fan, it’s a shame that the worst case scenario actually happened, but we all knew it was a possibility as soon as he signed the contract(by dicking over the Ravens, no less).
So, it goes back to that whole theory about how there should be no surprises when you start dating a girl who cheated on her old boyfriend to be with you. You knew she had it in her to stray, so once she does, well, you knew what you were getting into. We hope for the Eagles’ sake and every fantasy owner that had him for seven weeks that the sex was at least good.
Anyway, do take a look at Greg Lewis as a possible replacement. We know Reggie Brown caught the pass last night, but it’s Lewis who will see the majority of the balls thrown his way. Dude’s probably in available in most leagues at this point. He stepped up huge in the playoff games last season. He may not have big play potential, but he’ll be the guy that has the best opportunity to gain 100 receiving yards for the Eagles on a consistent basis in this offense.

NFL Betting: T.O.’s Abs Move Line
READ MORE: Atlanta Falcons, NFL Betting, Philadelphia Eagles, Terrell Owens
Terrell Owens impact is pervasive. If it’s not team chemistry he’s disrupting, it’s the O/U total on tonight’s Monday night match-up between the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles. And most surprisingly, he didn’t even have to utter a wince-inducing word to move the line. According to Covers, the T.O. factor was what pushed tonight’s points total up to its current lofty 41.5. Most books see this game as a huge under favorite, but according to one, the T.O. factor has to be taken into consideration:
“When you look at the total, you have to remember that Terrell Owens is back in the fold for Philly,” says BetWWTS.com linesmaker Michael Pierce. “He didn’t play last year when the teams scored 37 combined points, so I think the total is just about right at 41 1/2”
We can also bet that the o/u on the amount of sit-ups T.O.’s will do after he scores a touchdown is set at four. He’s a freak about his physical fitness and we say he smashes that over fairly easily.

Now, it’s become personal between Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach Andy Reid and hand grenade-crazy ab-rolling wideout Terrell Owens as Reid suggested the two sit down and formally hash out their problems. Could this get uglier? The books are still leaning towards T.O. being an Eagle on opening day as Bodog released its own line giving +150 on Owens reporting to Eagles camp prior to week 1.
