One more thing

NFL Live on ESPN is starting to lose credibility. Sean Salisbury and Mark Schlereth are possibly the two biggest sellouts to have ever played the game. Worst is Salisbury. WHO ARE YOU? You were a poor excuse for a pro quarterback and you come on the set and act like you accomplished something in the NFL that makes you an expert. What a joke. At least Schlereth won a few Super Bowl rings as a lineman on the Broncos. But do these guys forget that they were players? The way the NFL does business is pretty grimy with no guarenteed contracts - thats the way it is and thats what players have to deal with - but these two guys just always take the NFL's side. And take for example TO's situation. The reason I think he does deserve more money is because let's face it - he did risk his career in the Super Bowl last February. Special waiver or no special waiver, the Eagles would have cut him and left him by the side of the road had he gotten hurt and saved a lot of money doing it. Both these guys say "show up in camp, help your team win break a bunch of records and then at the end of the season talk about a new contract." Hey guys I think I saw that before. He did have a great season last year, tripled McNabb's production, set a franchise record with 14 TD receivers and came back against doctor's advice to catch 9 passes for 122 yards in the biggest game of his life. Can't ask much more from the guy. He did his part to help them win and no he isn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl. The no renegotiation stance the Eagles have taken is foolish on the Eagles part. They didn't even have to renegotiate his contract, just restructure it. Let him get some more money this season - after all he did risk his career in the biggest Philadelphia football game in 25 years. But no, Joe Banner first refuses to even discuss the contract, then stoops to the level that Owens has been criticized for by saying "Rosenhaus and Owens aren't people who deal in commonsense terms." This just in Joe : Rosenhaus is the best at what he does, as is Owens. But the guys on NFL live let comments like Banner's slip past without so much as a slight criticism. Meanwhile they'll jump all over anything Owens says. Make no mistake, I'm in no way justifying what Owens has been doing, but both sides are wrong and these two "experts" - obviously ESPN uses this word very loosely - are two sellouts as former players who have taken the ownership's side. And it doesn't help that Trey Wingo, who is at least supposed to be somewhat objective as a host just agrees with whatever these two say. Ok, rant over.
