Terrell Owens wants to make up...

Owens plans to speak with McNabbAssociated Press

PHILADELPHIA -- Terrell Owens is ready to end his feud with Donovan McNabb.

Owens and McNabb haven't been on speaking terms throughout the preseason, but the All-Pro wide receiver said Tuesday in an interview on ESPN that he plans to talk to McNabb before Philadelphia's season opener at Atlanta on Monday night.

"It's not that I hate Donovan. I love Donovan. I don't hate him at all," Owens said, speaking publicly for the first time since he returned from a one-week exile from training camp three weeks ago. "I was just disappointed in a few things. I have the right to do that.

"Everybody speaks out of emotion. Everybody speaks out of frustration. Everybody's done it. That means I'm human. If you want me to go in and say I was wrong, maybe I was. Maybe I wasn't."

Owens started the friction in April when he took a shot at McNabb, saying he "wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl."

McNabb responded harshly, insisting he didn't get sick and wasn't tired in the fourth quarter of the Eagles' 24-21 loss to New England.

After he was banished from camp last month following a heated dispute with coach Andy Reid, Owens again went after McNabb, calling the five-time Pro Bowl quarterback a hypocrite. Owens has changed his act since returning to practice, and now he's finally reaching out to McNabb.

Despite their icy relationship, McNabb and Owens had no trouble on the field. In their lone appearance together in the preseason, the two connected five times for 131 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage in a victory over Cincinnati on Aug. 26.

Both players celebrated that score separately with other teammates and ignored each other throughout the game, but Owens said the silence won't continue.

"You guys will see. It's not going to be a yearlong thing," he said. "Leading up to this Monday night game, things will get worked out."

Owens dominated the headlines this offseason with his demand for a new contract just one season into the seven-year, $48.97 million deal he signed when he came to Philadelphia in March 2004.

The Eagles have refused to redo the deal.

Personally, I hope he does well, the Eagles win the Super Bowl, and then we get rid of him as fast as possible...

Somehow I just don't think he will be a changed man...

McNabb should punch him in the dick.

I like Terrell Owens, but McNabb and Reid are tools. And their mascot is just a flat out asshole.

I hate the Eagles. Well except 2.

McNabb is overrated. He couldn't hold T.O.'s jockstrap.

WTF? Please explain why anyone hates McNabb? He is well spoken, charismatic, and shows all signs of being a classy person as well as a very good player.

General Mike · 09-07-2005, 04:38 PM

because he went to Syracuse.

As Kanye West would say, it's because he's black.

As good a reason as this is, I was joking. I like McNabb and Reid, and loathe Owens. I was just following VPI's lead.

Fair enough. Dealing with stupid stuff with my Brother-in-law has me a bit touchy today.

Sorry, but I think this is all a bunch of Media Bull-shit.

Who Here, hasn't worked with a person they couldn't stand?

As for me and my Co-Worker thinking; As long as they did their freakin job, and left me the hell alone we worked great as a team. I could care less if I couldn't stand the person or not. I would rather be teamed with a complete Asshole than an incompetent buddy.

Unlike Moss, Owens is the best WR on the field. He may be a pain in the but off the field, but he gives 100% on every play during the game.

The problem we (I) have with TO is not that he does not get along with McNabb - that may well be McNabb's fault - it's that TO went out of his way to let us all know about how little he thinks of McNabb. That's just stupid and hateful, imo.
