kota Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Andy Reid has the final say. He already said he won't let him play if he doesn't think he is ready to go. Andy will not let him ruin his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 It's such a rare thing to win (just ask Marino) or even make the SB (just ask Manning) even if you are one of the best at your position, I can easily see how as long as he can strap it on that you would choose to be active for the game. So much of the game is emotion normally, and even more so with the SB (hence the many blow-outs) that I can also see that if properly handled and done, having TO there will be a big help to Philly even if his contributions on the field are minimal. Add to that some Lloyds of London institution tpe being more than happy to bet on Terrell being able to play or not play by insuring him against particular losses of career ability if he worsens the injury by playing and the decision to play becomes a virtual no-brainer.

BillsNYC Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 He should play, risk or not. Might be the one time he ever gets to play in a big game. My senior year of high school we were in the finals for WNY volleyball. I had a dislocated thumb injury from a game a week before. I wanted to play in the finals and the coach wouldn't let me, because he knew I was going play in college and didn't want to risk my career. I didn't play and we lost, and I always felt I was so fired up I could have shut down their best player. Went on to college and played one year and quit, just wasn't the same. To this day I wish I would have played in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I question if the whole thing isn't just talk to make NE game plan for TO. Come Sunday, the Eagles state, he's not playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothrop Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Maybe he'll be like the "Curt Schlling" of the Super Bowl. 224952[/snapback] While T.O. playing with the injury is a great story, it is insignificant when compared to the story of DE Jack Youngblood. Peter King just wrote a great story about it this week. I think the story is an example of how the line between stupidity and courage are blurry. Here is the story: Youngblood vs. Owens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But T.O. wants to give it a go. http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/fo...fl/10781628.htm 224930[/snapback] Thank God he'll be on the field, at least for one play. Now we can all rest easy, knowing that he won't have do anything crazy (like set himself on fire or do a strip tease on the sideline) to get the attention he craves. I'm not the biggest Pats fan but I'd love to see Harrison turn TO's lights out during the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't play, maybe FOX can show him instead of commercials doing all the end zone dances he had planned on doing. fug you TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the story: Youngblood vs. Owens 225122[/snapback] Yeah, BFD about TO....Youngblood came back and played in the same game he broke his leg in...then played in the super bowl a couple weeks later. TO has had 6 weeks to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their careers, and his, would be over. The late hits, the extra smacks out of bounds after the whistle blows are not the mark of a tough guy. They're the mark of a punk. "But you'd love to have him on your team". Bullsh-t. He can play for someone else I have NO respect for this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanone Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 What's tricky about WR though is NE will know on the 1st play how effective TO will be. If he's limping, he's a hinderance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theNose76 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Skip Bayless, who I usually think is intolerable, brought up a good point yesterday that I caught while flipping through the channels. Whatever happens on Sunday, TO will be looked as a hero. If he plays (which he says he will), it'll look like a miracle for him to even just play at all because of the severity of the injury. So if he makes one catch for 8 yards and means nothing in the game, that won't matter, because all will be looked at is the fact that he played. I agree 100%. That being said I hope the Eagles win, but htink the Pats will. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
