Terrel Owens Should’ve Won That Super Bowl MVP regardless Of That L That’s How Amazing His Performance Was On A Broken Ankle ...
I don’t know if I would have gave him the mvp but I have some amazing respect for anyone who gives there body for there team the way he did in that Super Bowl
Broken leg not even an ankle, To is the man
Terrel Owen's didn't score a touchdown so he wasn't that dominate. Patriots were giving the eagles a lot of underneath stuff bend but don't break defense.
David Moody I mean but that doesn’t take away The game he had ESPECIALLY On A Broken Ankle / Leg He Was Dominate Enough
@@davidmoody1235 the man played with a BROKEN LEG, put up good numbers, and yet..... you still find fault, and, won't even give him credit for having a BIG HEART, and, a passion for football, that I wish I would see MORE of today.
I'd like to see you run the 40 yd dash, with a broken leg, just one time that's all 🤪
Mcnabb the one who choked in superbowl i guess he forgot about that
An who reportedly threw up in the huddle He was so nervous ppl forget he threw bad int to TO got a pentalty an very next play threw another bad ball that was intercepted
P B FACTS!!!
No proof he threw up. Either way, if T.O wasn’t disruptive he would have helped his QB instead of trashing him
Smooth258 Either way Mcnabb choked simple as that
Smooth258 He definitely puked
T.O is the fall guy. Everything that goes wrong is solely blamed on T.O. Not shocked at all.
He is not the fall guy. He has tricked y'all Into feeling bad for him. T.O. wasn't for everybody or every team. Is what it is.
Lil Wooo little boy on drugs, lol he just saying what comes to mind even if it is devoid of logic.....like AB 😂
You got that from shannon
Micah Maggio who? Lol if you’re referring to another show or one of T.O’s friends, I’m not familiar with that
@Lil Wooo it has everything to do with this specific comment lol. Dude says people are making T.O. the fall guy and I disagree.
The locker room might not had been divided before T.O. came but they ain't get to the Superbowl until he came
DeShan Nichols BIG FACTS
And also if he was the problem why they couldn't go back after Terrell Owens left the Eagles
And what about before TO came? How many times did they lose in the Playoffs?
@Jack Torrance All that's true...but they STILL didnt get over the hump until TO got there...and he was the best player on the team, in the SB, not to mention he played injured. Also didnt TO have like 15 touchdowns that year. Men lie, Women lie, numbers dont.
@Jack Torrance but if it wasnt for TO that super bowl would've been a blow out
so Drew encouraged owens to be a distraction to get kicked off the team? hmmm didnt drew represent antonio brown while he was with pittsburgh and oakland raiders ? hmmm
Thats why I believe what SAS is saying
kingdomdominionalc I was just thinking that
When I learned that Drew Rosenhaus was AB’s agent when the latter was in Pittsburgh , the first thing I remembered was that he represented TO and in my mind was thinking there’s going to be some drama coming really fast.
Exactly.
he basically fired himself from being AB agent...antonio got serious issues within himself right now 🙏🏽
T.O deserved that extension for balling in that superbowl with one foot
MrKing8050 facto
Facts facts facts .......
Lies TO just got a brand new contract and wanted a new one year later.
McNabb went to 5 straight NFC championships, played in 1 superbowl and threw up all over the field. Finished his career without 1 ring and wants to blame his failures on a hall of fame receiver who went on to continue to play at a high level after leaving Philadelphia while mcnabb and the eagles continued to underperform
4 straight. 5 total
Where did he throw up? Wouldn’t that be on video?
@@Smooth258 Meaning he choked.
Owens didn't get another shot at the Super Bowl either.
Yes he threw up. No one with a working brain cares
McNabb is pissed because TO is a HOF and he's not
🎯
He should be in the hof tho
Mo Shashoug no lol
Zenigundam shut up
@jon mar mhm
McNabbs coming off as jealous of T.O.
Wasn’t McNabb the same dude that threw up in the SB and costed us the game?
Plus 2 interceptions and a fumble and 2 of the 3 turnovers came in the 1st quarter
So we're gonna ignore the fact that the offensive line gave 5 sacks in the game.
and TO played with screws in his foot and still had 100 yards
Win Deezy more than 100 lmaooo
A Notes Got Flame and he was responsible for most those sacks lol
This isn't sport news. This happened almost 20 years ago
If one of my teammates played with a broken leg and dominated in the super bowl I wouldn't let myself say anything bad about them
Stop it!!! T.O didn't dominate the Super Bowl. Patriots were giving them a lot of underneath stuff. If he was so dominate like you said why didn't he score a touchdown? Yea he caught 9 passes for 122 yards with no touchdowns in the biggest game of the year so he wasn't so dominate.
@@davidmoody1235 Probably had McNabb not threw any of this 3 INT, TO would have caught a TD here on there.
@@tigera6 all I know is that McNabb completed 30 of 51 for 357 yards with 3 scores and 3 interceptions. The eagles got to the Super Bowl without Owen's playing in the playoffs . Maybe Owen's should've of stayed on the sidelines for the Super Bowl also. Like I said no touchdowns for Owen's and the Patriots were giving the eagles a lot of underneath yardage LMAO.
@@davidmoody1235 So its the WR fault that he got no TD caught in the SB but the QB, the one who actuall THOW the ball, has no blame even with 3 picks? Your logic is stunning, acting like TO was dropping ball everywhere in the SB and the Eagle would have been better off without him. lol
@@davidmoody1235 You need to learn the difference between the word "dominate" and "dominant". One is a verb, the other is an adjective.
It was the GM or owner that broke them up.
Should have given TO the money. Simple. Like Westbrook said on First Things First.
if they would have paid TO, I agree. simple
Too bad QB’s, even the most trash ones, will never lose to other players in the lockeroom.
TO has the heart to win and should’ve ended his career a champion. McNabb was never a real leader and will never sniff the HoF.
i could be wrong, game was so long ago, but i thought i remembered T.O open a lot during that SB and i didnt see the ball fly his way that much, cant blame T.O for that
Yep
To coulda had 250 yards in that game
Stephan A still mad that TO said “Max almost seem blacker than you”
Nobel Bisrat that was out of pocket by TO. When has TO ever cared about anyone besides himself? I’ll wait..
@@darronj7918 Tony Romo :'(
Summer Runner 🤣😂 good one!!!
@@summerrunner1755 haha
Darron J how do you know what TO thinks ? You know him?
What happened to never counting another man’s pockets McNabb? We ain’t forget them turnovers you had in the SB either.
They actually had a better team with Vick, Jackson,McCoy
Nyla nyla they did?
@Nyla nyla ok the point that I was trying to make was that eagles roster was a talented & special team to bad they couldn't win with that roster is what it is
@@kevinmoore7799 Macklin, McCoy, Jackson, & Vick was just as lethal but it's my opinion....I know McNabb is very underrated
If that team had as good of a defense as they did in the early 2000s they probably would have won the Super Bowl that year.
All Donovan had to do was have TO's back. McNabb is a jealous man.
Max was making the point that as the leader, McNabb was ultimately responsible for holding that locker room together. He wasn't blaming McNabb for causing the division. That other dude misrepresented Max's point. Saying there was no division before T.O. means nothing except that team solidarity wasn't TESTED until T.O. arrived. When it was tested, it was McNabb's or the coach's job to remedy it. Also, saying that there was no problem until T.O. arrived doesn't mean that T.O. caused the problem. That's a correlation-causation fallacy.
McNabb a sucker and I used to love him as a QB. U cant blame 1 guy for failure especially if he produces on the field. Sounds like a weakness on McNabb's behalf💯
I’m with TO on this .
Longhaul Brown me too
"Hold it MaxXxXx!!!"
5:37
Max really does have a bad habit of CONSTANTLY starting to talk when the other guy isn't quite finished. He might think he's not interrupting, but he totally is.
That SAS thumbnail face is the "Excuse me" face isn't it
- 23 😂😂😂😂😂
Haven’t watched yet but I know Stephen A brings up his 17+ years of his time in Philadelphia 🤣🤣🤣
That was the other video lol
He didnt tho
T.O. balled out in that Superbowl
McNabb really wasn't appreciated even though he's wrong for talking about T.O.
You can tell they ran out of topics if they talking about this more than once
I'm surprise they not talking about the Cowboys.
Everyone wanted the Patriots to lose and they got there wish, now we can all relive ancient memories....Tomorrows topic will be Franco Harris immaculate reception, did he really catch that ball? 😂
McNabb and T.O. need to spend more time talking about all the games they won instead of the few they lost.
Love how max interrupts right when Stephen A is finishing his point. 🙄
Love how Stephen A interrupts Max always.
I feel bad about laughing at Stephen A boxing 🥊 skills 😂🤣 had totally forgot he tore a ligament in his shoulder a few months ago 😅
Supreme Tez VLOGS 🤣
I got to roll with T.O. because it was McNabb's team and T.O.was a temporary hired hand to get them over the hump and into the Superbowl.
Stephen A. really thinks he looks good in that leather jacket 😂😂
I can see Stephen A. doing the moonwalk in that jacket
Justin Sullivan 🤣
People act like McNabb didn't constantly throw the ball at receivers feet. lol
But I still think both ruined their careers in terms of Superbowl rings. I think they would have bounced right back into the Superbowl the following year if they stayed together.
T.O. gets blamed for everything, I'd still take him over any other receiver ever besides Jerry Rice. He was someone i looked up to and looked forward to seeing on monday night football when i was a kid. I still believe he could play in the NFL today!
I got mad love for TO but I wouldn't take him over moss
Albert Boomer I would because that literally the only thing anybody has on t.o is his personality game wise they are neck and neck no kapp
Let’s not get carried away here, TALENT WISE Randy Moss is better than any receiver to ever play in the league...including Jerry
Nick Foggie no because the samething he can do all three can... t.o got plenty of deep,curl, slant ,double coverage, u name it just as much as moss.... but just like wit mj once espn Nd all them say one thing then the fans just gonna say ohh yea micheal ohh yea moss... he is not by a mile better if they ain neck and neck then one of them got the other by a toss up
Ski Nin3thr33 The fact that you’re talking about curls and slants tells me you’ve probably never watched Moss play a game...TO was nice but he not Randy bruh
Yall really talkin about something from 15 years ago let that sink in
Quick question.....can RosGo stay full time?
CM-10 faxx
I second that man. I love her she actually moderates not injects her personal feminism
It’s clear everyone commenting aren’t Eagles fans lol. Neither one is innocent. But TO has definitely taken shots at Donovan through the media since then even after “squashing” their beef. Smh.
Thomas Travis
Facts
Ain't it something how Drew Rosenhaus wanted Owens to act a fool to get released but when Antonio Brown acts up and he can't take the heat and he leaves AB alone
Donovan McNabb didnt know an NFL game could end in a tie....
yet he won 107 of them.. let that sink in
@@jwt105 And choked the biggest game of his career away. Think about that for a second.
Andy Reid, on his way to the Super Bowl.... just passed out...laughing at both of them. Shit's 20 years old.
Steve A. look like he got a date with a Harley right after this debate with that Leather jacket lol
DeAndre Hunt He looks like a guest on his own show, LOL!!!
Stephen a needs to stop yelling all the time.
Stephen A. the 🐐
Man I hate these remote convos with the delayed reception... Lol
Terry Crew hair grew back 😂
In the aftermath everyone's response today should be like Westbrook's response.
Westbrook said he wishes he had been able to bring the two sides together and keep the team together.
Donovan should regret not working it out. Management should regret not working it out. TO should regret not working it out.
Just imagine if Donovan had vouched for TO to get his money. Only 2 things could've happened. Either TO gets his money and they go back to the SB or TO doesn't get his money but does gain respect and trust for McNaab creating a situation where McNaab could possibly convince him to keep his cool for another year and try to get his money after 1 more try at a SB or at the very least him and TO could've ended their time together in Philly on good terms. TO would've thanked him for trying and respectfully told him hey look man, I gotta get out of this contract by any means.
If Donovan deserves consideration for HOF, then Eli should be a first ballot HOFer. Donovan was a chocker!
Hella facts!
and mcnabb didn't get to a super bowl UNTIL t.o. got there, so how about THAT
To did not play a playoff game that tear
T.O. deserve all the money Wentz getting. McNabb always wanted the light just like when Vick came there he was doing the same sh*t. T.O was shining, fans was loving him saying his name and believe me McNabb was hating on that. How can U say u dont vouch for nobody then turn around and vouch for Westbrook. Mannn McNabb we couldn't win 3 Superbowl with that defense and T.O . crazy
Stephen A is like but T.O said I wasn’t black enough
One player is going to Canton. One player is an out of shape Michael Vick. Y'all running out of topics.
Emanuel Acho sounds like Bill Walton, I can’t even hear his arguments cause I keep thinking about how he sounds like Bill Walton
"TO = Team Obliterator" - Skip
H.O.F!!!!
Can you imagine if max had said let’s just call a spade a spade??? FIRED
No he’s not right he was just as wrong as T.O
McNabb is a chump..if you look at his build the year he went to the SB & ended up being gassed when he could have put the Patriots away....(T.O. called him ok ut ok n it.) He showed up next season with his arms all buffed up..check the film..He was out of shape & so was much of the team. T.O. was used to a team being more professi ok nal than that. Just check the film if anyone questions it!!
Emmanuel gives the best look when he's getting interrupted. 😂
EAGLES IS MY TEAM MCNABB WAS WRONG T.O BALLD OUTTA CONTROL NO NO MORE TALK🤐
mcnabb wasntshit after to left to was to everywhere he went. to is a goat period
Interesting tid bit to hear about Drew Rosenhaus’ influence on this whole situation.
Stephen I can interrupt you but don’t interrupt me Smith
My God is anybody appreciating this beautiful specimen of a woman like I am???
Thats all on me homeboi!
I admit as an huge Eagle fan Donovan didn't get the love he deserved as alot of other QBs do 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ especially from Philly you either like him or not was no inbetween
Bruh Stephen A talks to much over people....
What people fail to realize is that Donovan was asked a question. If he's getting interviewed 20 years from now and ask the question about the locker room he will give the same answer. It's not like he went on Twitter or did a RUclips video calling out T. O. , He answered a question, they aired it because they knew it would start something
Mcnabb does not deserve hall of fame are you freaking kidding ?
McNabb was a baller period
If he was a baller then why did he have 3 turnovers in the Super Bowl? Also he always ended up choking in the nfc championship game, he lost 4 of them!
if mcfalbb was a baller he would have won a ring. quit worshipping him
Mcnabb needs to put that Hennessy bottle down, and get his mind rite. 🤔🤔😏
At 2:09, Acho sounds like a fan. If his QB vouched for a new contract for someone else but not him despite him being worthy of it, he’d hate the QB too. Acho is too young for TV.
You’ve got too many egos in that eagles locker room that literally cost them a SB ring
McNabb cost them the SB. Watch the tape
@@Mercenary-1914 yeah he cost them.
Wow opening statement about Rosenhaus reminds me of the Antonio Brown situation except it ultimately blew up on him.
No molly thank
God I
Can watch the
Show now
"can't tell who's the fool when two people are fighting" we know what kind of household you grew up in
One is in the HOF and the other isn't. 🤷🏽♂️
Allan Trahan
Barely just got in and McNabb still might get in.
Stephen A has that casual friday jacket on
McNabb was jealous of TO
Stephen A. 'Smif' - "As a black man.."
T.O. - " Max almost seems blacker than you."
Stephen A.- O_O
Everytime the new COD update crashes and takes you to main screen start up, the black dude with the machine guy reminds like Acho, the guy in the middle
Everywhere that dude went it was always somebody else
I thought these 2 hashed things out with each other years ago
So we go continue to work over look the fact Donovan spoke on a man contract and everyone knows u don't do that period.... But we go keep with this TO toxic line it's getting played out
Dee Jax totall agreed. 49ers, cowboys and Eagles are the worst franchises in football. That’s why those teams never won any Super Bowls. If they were smart they would have signed TO a long term contract.
they acting like Donovan went on social media and just said it unprovoked. he was in an interview and was asked a question and answered it...
This is why T.O wasn't a first ballot HOF Stephen A! He was an on-field distraction causing teams to not perform at its best collectively. He was not a team player and that is major requirement for being in the Hall!
Everybody blame everybody but themselves
TO was an all-world WR and overall athlete who could single-handedly elevate a team from good to excellent... AAAAAANDD he was a colossal, disruptive ego. Owens was the arsonist who starts a fire, then runs inside the building, saves an old lady and two kids, and puts out the fire. Two things can be true at once. He was a hero/villain and he seemed to love every minute of it.
Shoutout to max for subtly checking acho on the weapon X comment
I blame McNabb. For blowing up that team and his ego. He was the man in philly for a long time and when T.O came lots of ppl cheered for him and McNabb wasn't comfortable with that. And wanted to bring T.O. down a bit....
T.O you knew your worth
Drew told A.B. same thing he told T.O., "make a fool of yourself and they'll let you out of your contract." Smh
So another man can cost u millions n tell you too act like a bozo they will stop it no one takes responsibility no more
Distraction or not, 2 was a better player than Minivan ever was. Owens was a beast; McFlab was a choke artist.
Andy Reid just won the Super Bowl, the Eagles went to multiple championships, and TO came to the Eagles to take them over the top, and it ended the potential dynasty. Including TO contract disposition makes messy situation, where everyone wasn’t on the same page. If Management had taken care of TO and Donovan and not make their contracts competitive, you could say Philly had the potential to at least Win a Super Bowl.
You can't deny TO, he was the man.
Tbh I agree with Max. Mcnabb is the leader and honestly he should've just either stuck up for TO or not stick up for his other teammate. It makes Mcnabb looks two face
Why the F is T.O. to blame if half of the locker room supported him? they are all GROWN men who can decide things for themselves, its not like T.O. was buying their loyalty with money or something.
If you are the QB and half of the team disrespect you to follow the other guy, then you should be looking at yourself in the mirror, period.
Both of them are to blame.
These dudes 40 and still beefing ? Childish bro !! Facts 💯
Is this report from 20 years ago? What is going on?
My problem with this piece is when one of them said before TO got there the locker room was fine then when TO arrived it was split and that it’s not McNabb fault and I gotta disagree because if your a leader and your locker room starts to split it doesn’t matter who was there before all that matters is that you fix it and sadly McNabb couldn’t
T.O and Donovan relationship what was Shaq and Kobe
Shaq & Kobe copped rings amidst the beef doe
Neither TO or McNabb are to blame. This falls on the GM at the time.
