He's probably just pissed that TO is wanting is contract reorganized and wanted to let him know who the boss is on the field. Instead of doing what TO's infamous for, which is running his mouth, he just ignored Reid and went along his business. I think that its pretty messed up that whatever TO does short of catching passes and making touchdowns just isnt good enough for anyone in Philly. Seriously, the man set franchise records last year and basically took the Eagles to the SuperBowl. McNabb wasnt anything but an overrated, washed up QB who bitched about Rush Limbaugh until TO came on the scene.
As far as practice goes...I think he missed 5 out of 6. And when he did practice it was with an assistant trainer and he caught balls thrown from a machine. Right? Still, a groin injury requires more than a week or 2 to rehab.
I've never played hockey and so I don't know how bad groin injuries are in that sense. When I injured mine I was bench pressing 425lbs. Don't ask me how in the hell I did that while benching...but I did. I felt it when it happened. It kind of felt like whenever you're taking a shit and you're straining to get it out and then it comes out real quick, only this time I wasnt taking a dump. It felt really weird. I got up and was a little sore but a week later I couldnt even get out of bed. And when I was standing up I sometimes had to lean over because standing straight hurt so bad. I couldn't even have sex for like a week. I felt like I was going to die till I went to the doc and he gave me some pain pills.

The thing is I'm not sure any of us know what's been going on in Eagles camp since TO arrived. The interviews with guys like Hugh Douglas have hinted that things are extremely strained between players, and that there's some sort of division between people who support McNabb and people who support TO.
Part of the problem may be that TO doesn't think he's getting support from his teammates. Again, this isn't to excuse how he's acted; I'm not a big fan of how he's acted this offseason. I think there have to be other factors going on though.
Any of us who have had a groin pull know that it's tough to come back from, especially with the intensity of training camp workouts. After what he did in the Super Bowl last year, I'm not ready to challenge his toughness. I do question his (as well as Drew Rosenhaus') judgement, though.
Anyone else think Rosenhaus could be on thin ground with T.O. if he doesn't get a new deal quickly?
