Football season is back. I'm looking forward to Eagles games again this year, hoping they make a successful return to the Super Bowl, but a different result this time! Their season is off to a colorful start (at least off the field) with the T.O. (Terrel Owens) contract controversy. A friend and fellow driver frequently writes poetry on those down hours waiting for groups, and subjects us to his poetry on occasion. Here's one he wrote a couple of days ago that expresses well the feelings of many Eagles fans regarding the T.O. controversy. (Published with his permission.)

T.O., you're not on the field,
You're just runnin' at the mouth;
Come on, T.O., give it up,
Stop being such a louse!

A contract is a contract,
You agreed and signed it so.
What?! $40 million's not enough?
Well, T.O., you must go!

T.O., your spelling's not that good,
'Cause there's no "I" in TEAM!
And EAGLES without you,
Will reign supreme!!
