TO isn't that bad. He only asked for more money which is what every athlete on the planet also wants.
The team told him to shut up and play. He never held out. Once he showed up at camp the story should have been over but the media continued to make it a story. Everyone who wanted TO to shut up started complaining that TO wasn't talking. I think pressure got to Andy Reid. The blow up with TO occurred after TO was supposed to have the day off to rehab a groin injury. Later that day TO was out running routes. Andy Kotite then had a meeting with TO and suspended him. It later turned out that TO had permisson to practice.
Lets not forget that the Eagles gave Kordell McNabb a new contract before his existing contract expired. Mcnabb was too tired to run the 2 minute offense in the freaking Super Bowl. Kordell McNabb should work out with TO and spend less time at TGIF eating wings. Andy Kotite was also given a new contract in the middle of an existing contract. Even the Eagles asked for a new contract. The day Jeff Laurie bought the Eagles he started crying that he wanted a new deal with the city of Philadelphia even though his existing deal had another 15 years on it. So much for the sanctity of a contract.
