So I had the opportunity to meet Drew Rosenhaus on Thursday night at the Pitt v. Louisville football game. He was just like you would imagine. Slimy. He told me that he was at the football game just to watch. I found that hard to believe, but hey, what can I do.
I thought it was ironic that I met him, and two days later his boy T.O. gets suspended for the remainder of the Eagles season. Perhaps, he wasn’t just enjoying the game, but looking for a future payday with Michael Bush?!?!
Speaking of T.O., lets go ahead and discuss the difference between Brian Westbrook and T.O.
What to do when you want a contract extension: Take the Westbrook route. Show up to camp after expressing some distaste about your contract, but leave it at that. Let your play do the talking. Don’t complain to the media about your contract, your team, your organization, and your quarterback. Don’t take potshots at everyone involved. Continue to play hard, and become the team’s number one option on offense. Good job Brian Westbrook.
What not to do: Be T.O. Complain about everybody. Take cheap shots at your quarterback, who is the face of the organization and an extremely class individual. (McNabb didn’t get upset when Philly fans booed him in the NFL Draft. He shook off Limbaugh’s racially insensitive remarks. Do you really think he would let a prima donna’s complaints get to him. Come on.) Attack your head coach, who has coached the team to four straight NFC championship games. (Before Andy Reid, how were the Eagles? Exactly.) Attack the organization for not celebrating your individual achievements. Dude, why should they celebrate you after throwing everybody involved under the bus? You’ve been there for a year and a half and ridiculed and attacked all parties involved. You didn’t and still don’t deserve any recognition. I have one thing to say to Keyshawn, Jr.: SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
