Terrell Owens Chimes In On McNabb Saga On T.Ocho Show (Video)

On last night’s T. OCHO Show., Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco discussed whether or not Mike Shanahan was justified in yanking Donovan McNabb at the end of the Redskins game on Sunday. Owens, who played  two very productive, but injury-riddled seasons with McNabb in Philadelphia, remarked after their Super Bowl loss in 2004 that “he wasn’t the guy who got tired.”

This remark has often been attributed as a dis to McNabb, and the media has always pitted the two against one another. After the 2005 season, Owens had a rather acrimonious break-up with the Eagles. And last night,  we learn that Terrell Owens had some interesting words about McNabb’s ability to handle his job. From the Huffington Post:

“Well, I don’t really want to start anything, but I did play in the Super Bowl and there were rumors where he couldn’t get our two-minute offense going at the end of the game, I’m just saying.”

“Well, this is a situation where Mike Shanahan, he sees these two quarterbacks on an everyday basis. … So he’s had a chance to observe.”

For starters, the Bengals are 2-5, while Washington remains in the hunt at 4-4, and it’s not like anyone takes these guys seriously. This sounds like a light-hearted jab by Owens, whose night-time job is to make controversial remarks. He’s no Freddie Mitchell, and he’s not dumb enough to actually think that anything involving Rex Grossman is a good idea.

T.O. and Chad are like the Jonas Brothers of the NFL at this point. Sexy, appealing to girls between the ages of 13 and 25. McNabb, on the other hand, is as smooth as the “Most Interesting Man in the World.” He says the right things, and I’m sure he’ll shrug this off. The irony? McNabb was pimping “T.O. to the Redskins” in the offseason.

Here’s a slice from last night’s show, which is in its first and probably last season.
