Former Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb accuses Terrell Owens of causing tension within the Eagles team after their Super Bowl loss to the Patriots.
“The lead into the following year, I’m thinking [Owens] will be back healthy, we have [Jevon Kearse], we have guys elevating their game, gaining experience, and I’m thinking, ‘We’re going to be back.’
Then the offseason goes on and all of a sudden there’s turmoil here and there, different conversations going back and forth, and we had to answer those questions instead of focusing on what we need to do in order to get back to where we were. I thought that was the major distraction for us.
He’s doing sit-ups, he’s doing push-ups, he’s playing basketball, he’s ordering pizza for the people out there, and we’re sitting there in training camp just like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ We’re in our dorm rooms, and I’m just sitting there watching on TV. Brian Dawkins and Jeremiah Trotter were my roommates, and Dawk would come in like, ‘What’d he do now?’ I’m like, ‘Take a look.’ This is like “Days Of Our Lives”. It was unbelievable. But that was something that kind of broke us up. That was the most frustrating for me, because I knew what we could do, and, if we decided to just come together, what we could accomplish,” he told Bleacher Report.
Terrell Owens quickly responded to McNabb’s allegations on Twitter without delay.
“This guy is a joke!! Talking bout I broke up the Eagles!! Did u tell em that u vouched for the Eagles to pay Westbrook but NOT ME!!” he tweeted. “It’s on.”
Owens wasted no time in proposing a solution for them to resolve their issues by engaging in a physical altercation, reminiscent of his previous desire to do so.
