T.O/McNabb circus continues - The Orange Mane

Brown: That McNabb-T.O. scrap nearly did get physicalDaily News Staff ReportSheldon Brown remembers that game when Donovan McNabb says his relationship with exiled receiver Terrell Owens went sour.
The Eagles cornerback told the panel yesterday on Comcast SportsNet's "Daily News Live" that if teammates had not intervened, the two might have come to blows.
As the quarterback recalled in an ESPN interview this week, he and Owens argued during the Eagles' win over the Giants on Nov. 28, 2004. McNabb had thrown an incomplete pass toward Brian Westbrook, Owens returned to the huddle and squawked that he was open, and the spat continued into the locker room.
Rumors surfaced that McNabb and Owens nearly began duking it out that day.
"There was not a physical confrontation, because players did not allow that to happen," Brown told the panel. And Brown didn't necessarily take McNabb's side.
"The thing was, Terrell felt disrespected as a man out on the football field, because it happened in front of his peers and other teammates. The bottom line is if [McNabb] wouldn't have made the comment he made the other day, we wouldn't be talking about this, so he's bringing it upon himself.
"It should be over with," Brown said. "[McNabb] should be ready to move on to 2006 and helping the team go to the playoffs."
As McNabb elaborated in the ESPN interview, Owens supposedly came back to the huddle after the incomplete pass and said: " 'Hey, I was open, throw the ball!' Me, being into the game, [I said], 'Hey, get in the huddle man.' In different words, obviously. He continued to talk about how he was open, throw the ball." It wouldn't end and McNabb said, "That led to us talking in the locker room."
That was the big question for Brown. If teammates hadn't intervened, would that locker-room "talk" had ended in fisticuffs?
Brown paused for a second, thought about his answer, chuckled nervously and said, "Probably so."
And what of McNabb's alleged leadership shortcomings?
"I think that's a bunch of baloney, because I think the best leadership quality you could have is the way you perform. The way you perform means more than anything you could say."
Interestingly, if T.O. puts Brown on his resume as a reference for another team, it would be mixed.
"He would be a great teammate as to what he brings to a football field, but there are going to be some guys who are going to be uncomfortable being around him in the locker room, may not feel comfortable talking to the guy," Brown told the panel. "If they can handle that, then that's fine and dandy. But if you really want everyone to be of the same accord as one team, then it eventually will be a problem."
As a general manager, would he steer clear of him? "It all depends," Brown said. He laughed and added, "If you're trying to sell jerseys, sell tickets, make a lot of money, I would probably try it."
Meanwhile, in Denver, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen told the Denver Post that his team has not ruled out the possibility of signing Owens. Several Broncos veterans recently met to discuss the team's pursuit of Owens. The consensus was that it is a good idea because the team has enough veterans to keep the disruptive star in check.

Shut up. The other thread is about a trade for T.O. you dimwit. If a mod wants to move it fine...that 1000 thread post wasn't about these latest developments. It has nothing to do with trading for T.O.

It's off the front page and this is a different subject anyway. STFU

The argument continued into the locker room and would have come to blows had teammates not stepped in.
