[? Jan. 13: Owens complains about his role in the offense following a 25-15 playoff loss to the Packers.] I want to be the go-to guy on this team, ... But the play calling doesn't always involve me. I get lost in the offense. |
[According to Reid, he had a] good meeting ... did a great job out there. |
[Owens wasn't quite so bland. He did take a colorful shot at 49ers linebacker Derek Smith, who recently called his former teammate a bad apple.] It sounds like that guy had a bad day at the shopping market, ... I have no clue who that guy is. Is he one of the top 100 linebackers in the league? Who is that? |
A lot of people expect to see the same type of character that they see on the field off the field, and that throws them for a loop. |
A lot of people think I'm stuck up. Pretty much that I'm arrogant. I only do that when I'm on the field. |
Absolutely never happened. Not even close. I'm not sure why anyone would say that. |
All I can tell everybody is, I'm the same guy, just on a different team. |
All that matters to me now is my family. |
And I told him my name isn't Reid. My name is Owens. I'm not one of his kids. Don't tell me to shut up, |
As always, there is a lot written and (said) without anyone talking to me, ... I mean, I can't do right and I can't do wrong. It's getting, in some ways, like it was for me in San Francisco. But the one thing that won't change is that I'm going to show up to play and to win. No one can ever (debate) that. |
As you get to know me, you kind of figure me out, that I'm not as probably as bad of a guy that I've been reported to be. I'm not that jerk. |
As you know, I have been suspended and told that I cannot play football for the rest of the season, |
But I know in my heart what I'm doing is right. |
But if you look at the big scheme of things, I have never failed, regardless of anything I have had to go through: from Dallas, to the sharpie, to me getting involved with a debate with my coach, a lot of people look to see my fail. |
But naked women throw themselves at T. O. all the time, and it's not every day he gets to play for the Eagles. |
