Why McNabb is better than T.O.?

As a Cowboys fan, I'm just laughing at what T.O. is doing in Philly. Justice.

Some great quotes from Sal Paolantonio's current ESPN column...

In a recent column, (Stephen A.) Smith - who often talks to Owens - intimated
that the Eagles simply were not used to players rocking the boat, because the
leader in the locker room is the ultimate "company man," Donovan McNabb.

"I definitely need to know the definition of 'company man,'" McNabb replied.
"A smart player? A smart athlete? A smart person? Knowing how to handle a
situation? Knowing how to handle things in the right manner? That may be
something that defines me."

Perfect retort by McNabb.

And, of course, the Philly talk radio stations are getting into it too:

Every day, in drive time on WIP-AM, the city's raucous sports radio station,
the divisive Howard Eskin - a personal friend of Reid's - has crucified Owens.
When Owens complained that he needed a new deal because he had to "feed his
family," Eskin started a food drive for No. 81, so that Owens wouldn't miss a
meal. It was Eskin who first reported that Owens slept in some team meetings
and was late for others last season  a report that the Owens camp did not deny
publicly, but privately accused the Eagles front office of leaking.

Ha! I'm certainly not betting against Reid and McNabb in this one...
