It's been obvious over the course of Terrell Owen's career that he has not been completely stable both emotionally or mentally. He gets into cat fights with his qbs, accuses one of being a homosexual another of being a backstabber. He makes millions of comments where it becomes incredibly obvious that he has no edit function behind his speech. I think his quest for money with the Eagles was less financially based and more a him seeking to be recognized as a great player by the organization, and his instability led him to see the lack of backing from McNabb as a betrayel. The man's craved media attention all these years to make him feel worthwhile, and apparently it wasn't enough.
With all that being said, if these reports are true this is one of the most shocking occurences in recent memory. Maybe the stress/media pounding finally got to him. Maybe like many depressed people he eventually got to the breaking point where everything builds up and finally you just seem like no matter what you do things aren't going to get better. Who knows, maybe TO doesn't even know.
This has many ramifications, first how long could this put TO on the sidelines for, and even if he suits up will he be able to lock into the game like he once could. As bad as the Eagles were last season, and I still don't think they are incredibly talented this season, you have to like their chances of pulling away with this division. The Redskins have intensely struggled on offense (beating the JV Texans doesnt count), the Giants have a bunch of hot heads and a coach that is losing his grasp on the team, and now the Cowboys have even more TO stuff to deal with.
