Terrel Owens Should’ve Won That Super Bowl MVP regardless Of That L That’s How Amazing His Performance Was On A Broken Ankle ...

[studiojs]

T.O is the fall guy. Everything that goes wrong is solely blamed on T.O. Not shocked at all.

[PBNJ]

Mcnabb the one who choked in superbowl i guess he forgot about that

[StandingInTheGAPMinistriesInc]

so Drew encouraged owens to be a distraction to get kicked off the team? hmmm didnt drew represent antonio brown while he was with pittsburgh and oakland raiders ? hmmm

[nicholsdeshan]

The locker room might not had been divided before T.O. came but they ain't get to the Superbowl until he came

[Tsavage]

McNabb went to 5 straight NFC championships, played in 1 superbowl and threw up all over the field. Finished his career without 1 ring and wants to blame his failures on a hall of fame receiver who went on to continue to play at a high level after leaving Philadelphia while mcnabb and the eagles continued to underperform

[MrKing]

T.O deserved that extension for balling in that superbowl with one foot

[SonicSkychaser]

McNabb is pissed because TO is a HOF and he's not

[mikekiviranta]

If one of my teammates played with a broken leg and dominated in the super bowl I wouldn't let myself say anything bad about them

[Drewwikc]

This isn't sport news. This happened almost 20 years ago

[jay_]

Wasn’t McNabb the same dude that threw up in the SB and costed us the game?

[BruvahSulaiman]

It was the GM or owner that broke them up.

Should have given TO the money. Simple. Like Westbrook said on First Things First.

[NobelB]

Stephan A still mad that TO said “Max almost seem blacker than you”

[michaelzachary]

What happened to never counting another man’s pockets McNabb? We ain’t forget them turnovers you had in the SB either.

[gambitgodeighty-six]

i could be wrong, game was so long ago, but i thought i remembered T.O open a lot during that SB and i didnt see the ball fly his way that much, cant blame T.O for that

[kevinsommers]

They actually had a better team with Vick, Jackson, McCoy

[patricija]

That SAS thumbnail face is the "Excuse me" face isn't it

[KtotheG]

Max was making the point that as the leader, McNabb was ultimately responsible for holding that locker room together. He wasn't blaming McNabb for causing the division. That other dude misrepresented Max's point. Saying there was no division before T.O. means nothing except that team solidarity wasn't TESTED until T.O. arrived. When it was tested, it was McNabb's or the coach's job to remedy it. Also, saying that there was no problem until T.O. arrived doesn't mean that T.O. caused the problem. That's a correlation-causation fallacy.

[kristopherscott]

McNabb and T.O. need to spend more time talking about all the games they won instead of the few they lost.

[tigerhoods]

You can tell they ran out of topics if they talking about this more than once
