You Know You’re No Longer Wanted When…Terrell Owens is done in Philly. He’ll serve out the remainder of his four game unpaid suspension, then it’s onto season ending ‘deactivation’ due to "a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time," said coach Andy Reid. Frankly, the guy just wore out his welcome. How bad did it get? Well, the media gathered near Owen’s residence, wanting a quote on this latest development, and caught this detail: [T]wo pizzas were delivered to Owens' home. Someone answered the door -- not Owens -- and gave deliveryman James McDevitt a $5 tip. Yeah, it’s time to move on. (H/T Tim Higgins and MNF) posted by Dr. Reo Symes at 10:30 PM

I hear there is an opening for a self-centered asshole on the Oakland Raiders to replace an injured wide receiver. Posted by: schroedinger's cat© on November 8, 2005 12:52 AM
As a long time 49ers fan, let me just say... ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That felt good. Posted by: Steve on November 8, 2005 01:15 AM
I agree things have reached the point of no return with Owens. The Eagles should just cut him after the suspension ends, even if it means they take a salary cap hit. I don't know if you've ever met anyone from the PA/OH/WV area, but they are a mercilessly unforgiving bunch (especially when it comes to sports), and Owens' continued presence on the team would just be hell on everyone. Picture this, though, as a possibility in 2006: "Collins under center, Moss split left, Owens right ..." This man was simply born to be a Raider. Posted by: Blacksheep on November 8, 2005 04:23 AM
Based on what he'll lose out on his Eagles contract and his loss of desirability among other teams, Owens really may lose millions because he's acted like such a tool. Although he didn't need any help in that department, he was aided and abetted in his clown act by "super agent" Drew Rosenhaus. Nice job, Drew. Genius. If Owens goes to the Raiders to vogue alongside Moss, they'll need to play the game with two footballs to keep everyone happy. They'll also need at least three locker rooms.

- fwiw, Greg Garrity was my favorite Eagles receiver, not the best, just my favorite. - Posted by: BumperStickerist on November 8, 2005 09:16 AM
How do contracts work in the NFL? If he is not picked up by another team do the Eagles have to pay him? What if another team does pick him up but for less money, are the Eagles obliged to make up the difference?

I wonder if they put 'extra toppings' on that pizza. Posted by: lauraw on November 8, 2005 09:22 AM
lauraw, no shit. old rule, good rule. never piss off people who prepare your food. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 8, 2005 09:37 AM
Am I just a cheap bastard? Since when is a fiver not a good enough tip for a pizza delivery? I know gas prices are higher and drivers have to pay for their own gas. Is it because he's a wealthy and should tip better? Somebody help a poor dense sob out. I'm hungover. Too many 23 oz. beers at BW3's watching the Colts finally pound a battered Patriots team. Posted by: compos mentis on November 8, 2005 09:38 AM
cm - i think by not taking the tip the delivery guy was showing his disapproval of Owens. Posted by: ydlw on November 8, 2005 09:45 AM
T.O. the human version of the LRAD. Point it at a team and they run scared. Posted by: Mike on November 8, 2005 09:49 AM
I'm a big SF fan (don't laugh). When TO first came up with the 9ers, I thought, here was the replacement for the aging Jerry Rice, and would be future of the franchise. The guy's talent was impressive. Then his personality showed up. Jeepers. Posted by: OregonMuse on November 8, 2005 09:55 AM
Am I the only gal here who thinks in that ad to the right Larry the Cable Guy is sexy as all git out? Posted by: lauraw on November 8, 2005 10:11 AM
ydlw - well, I thought that. But leaving a fiver on the porch isn't much of a protest is it. What if he'd been given a twenty or a fifty? Would he have shown his disapproval of Owens then? I doubt it. I agree that it's too bad his tremendous talent is overshadowed by his ego and his mouth. It's one thing to talk trash, which I don't like either, but another completely to talk it to your own teammates. Posted by: compos mentis on November 8, 2005 10:14 AM
lw - Am I the only gal here who thinks in that ad to the right Larry the Cable Guy is sexy as all git out? Hitting the sauce a little early aren't we dear? How many have you had? Posted by: compos mentis on November 8, 2005 10:16 AM
Well thats as close to beefcake as we get here. No, Spidey does not count. Posted by: lauraw on November 8, 2005 10:43 AM
Good point. I guess you could always venture over to Garfield Ridge for some nekkid Hasselhoff if you get really desperate. Posted by: compos mentis on November 8, 2005 11:01 AM
I think it's a subtle plot to get you to set the bar lower lauraw. it appears to be working too. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 8, 2005 11:03 AM
The coolest part about TO showboating on the Dallas star was when he got whomped by that cowboy. I hate the cowboys, but I can respect them ensuring that outsiders have respect for their house. Posted by: joeindc44 on November 8, 2005 11:14 AM
There's a sexy man in there, trust me. It just happens to be under 50 lbs of shaky fat. Posted by: lauraw on November 8, 2005 11:19 AM
Dallas should pick up TO off waivers. Then for the first time in his NFL career, Terry Glenn can be the sane one. Posted by: Bob Hawkins on November 8, 2005 11:26 AM
Doesn't suprise me. He's definitely the 'childiest' person of the NFL. Posted by: Wong PoKér Hu on November 8, 2005 12:19 PM
And now he apologizes and says he wants back in... if the Eagles cave and take this... God, I don't even begin to have the colorful vocabulary necessary to describe this masturbatory fuckwad... if the Eagles take this jerkwad back, I will reluctantly admit that their front office is stupider than even that of my beloved Saints (and that is a pretty damning curse if you ask me). tmi3rd Posted by: tmi3rd on November 8, 2005 03:27 PM
It's the Oakland Raiders franchise that has been the traditional home (sinkhole) for the the NFL's thugs, felons, psychopaths, reform school dropouts, petty criminals, cut-ups, show-offs, etc. TO would be right at home here. Posted by: OregonMuse on November 8, 2005 04:52 PM
Lordy, lauraw, have you lost your mind? If all it takes is 50 lbs of fat to set you off, I'd have you in orbit before you knocked on the door, what with an extra c-note or so around what used to be a fairly decent set of abs. OregonMuse: Does T.O. play basketball? He would fit right in with the Jailblazers! Posted by: Carlos on November 8, 2005 10:03 PM
I think the Eagles are trippin. What did he do? Run his mouth? C'mon. He can come to my beloved Lions anytime. I'll even throw in Joey Harrington. Posted by: fugazi on November 8, 2005 11:36 PM

Oh no! Hamas' de facto press agent at the UN complains that she can't use her credit cards or rent a card now that she's been sanctioned as a terrorist operative
Why does this keep happening to members of the "political organization" (per Tucker Carlson) of Hamas?!?!
Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044. Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...? You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not. Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh? Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point. One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews. Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?
Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments: I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us. Now that's some Merenghian prose. Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.) I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.
Update on Scott Adams:
Scott Adams had approval for this cancer drug but they hadn't scheduled him to get it. He was taking a turn for the worse. Trump had told him to call if he needed anything, so he did. Talked to Don Jr (who is in Africa) , then RFK Jr, then Dr Oz. Someone talked to Kaiser and he was scheduled. Shouldn't have needed it but he did and he says it saved his life.
