PHILADELPHIA Nov 8, 2005 — Terrell Owens has apologized to Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, quarterback Donovan McNabb, the team's owner, the team's president and fans.
He read the statement outside his house in Moorestown, N.J., a day after the team said he would not return this season.
"I fight for what I think is right. In doing so, I alientated a lot of my fans and my teammates," he said.
His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Owens was making a public apology in hopes of returning to the Eagles this year.
Owens' brief but tumultuous time in Philadelphia ended Monday when the All-Pro wide receiver was told not to return to the team this season.
"This decision is a result of a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time, during which Terrell had been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions," Reid said.
Owens was suspended for Sunday night's 17-10 loss at Washington, and will remain suspended for three more games without pay. After that, the Eagles plan to deactivate him for the rest of the season.
Though he's perhaps the best wideout in the NFL, Owens caused far too many distractions with his selfish behavior.

Adios Punk!
Tell him to go pound sand.
Film at 11.
Owens has made some really dreadful decisions, starting with taking on Rosenhaus as an agent and continuing with listening to all the idiotic strategies that Rosenhaus has suggested to him. He is going to find that he pissed all over his meal ticket and nobody wants to take on his contract or his baggage.
The Eagles reiterated their intention to dump this A$$hole and I hope they stick to their guns.
ESPN just reported that the Eagles under no circumstances will take him back.
We'll see...
IF you were right it would NOT have alienated neither fan nor teammates. This is not apology and TO sux.
How can you tell when you're widely despised? When even the pizza guy won't take your tip!
Can we all sing....
"TO is the lonliest number that you ever knew......."
Someone just realized how much money he's going to lose.
T.O. MUST GO, T.O. MUST GO........
has always been and will always be a a##hole......
Drew is freaking out because he knows when T.O. signs his next contract, it will be for close to minimum wage and there will be all kinds of comparisons of "here's what T.O.'s making this year playing for team X. Here's what he WOULD have made for the Eagles". It won't exactly reflect well upon Drew's skills as an agent.
The T.O. saga to "Hall & Oats lyrics. he he
T.O.:
Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
The Eagles reply:
Easy, ready
Willing, overtime
Where does it stop
Where do you dare me
To draw the line
You`ve got the body
Now you want my soul
Don`t even think about it
Say no go, yeah
I, I`ll do anything
That you want me to do
And I`ll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh yeah
(CHORUS)
But I can`t go for that
No (no) no can do
I can`t go for that
No (no) no can do
I can`t go for that
No (no) no can do
I can`t go for that
Can`t go for that
Can`t go for that
