- started a mutiny in the Eagles locker room because he wasn't happy with a contract he signed 12 months earlier and wanted the franchise QB to back his protest
- weekly arguments and tantrums on the sidelines with Steve Mariucci
- basically called Jeff Garcia gay and went out of his way to praise Tim Rattay and insinuate the offense would be better with him starting
- accused Romo and Witten of drawing up plays and purposely excluding him from the offense


He's a HOF receiver and none of those things should've denied him from going 1st ballot, but acting like he never did anything to create his reputation is revisionist history.

1. He was the first WR ever that didn't hold his tongue when he had QBs that were fuccing up.
Because you know, QBs are the smartest guys on the field and the leaders. AKA he didn't keep "locker room business" in the locker room.

2. Imagine if Kobe left the Lakers each time he said he would. T.O. had the heart to actually do that on teams.

3. He celebrated in the end zone, which is a sin.

4. (the real spark) He wasn't supposed to be this close to a white woman that white men wanted.

All of this is facts. And he straight up called Garcia a "fakkit" iirc:mjlol:

T.O. is one of the goats but the fact that the Eagles chose to pay him to NOT play kind of says it all.

He also left every single team on bad terms. The NFL is a shytty organization for sure but to leave 5 different teams on bad terms is a bad look on him.

Though his antics and celebrations rubbed people the wrong way, it always felt to me that like the biggest knock against him came from the whole Eagles saga.

While heroic in his coming back from injury to dominate in the Super Bowl, he left a bad taste in everyone's mouth by bringing up that he "wasn't the one that got tired in the Super Bowl" in reference to McNabb.

He also threw McNabb under the bus around that time by saying he thought the team would be better off with Brett Favre at QB. Back when he implies that Garcia was gay, he also kind of threw him under the bus in favor for the back-up....so the trend of calling your team "leader/face" out in the media made him stand out on the diva tip.

Didn't the whole driveway thing happen because he wanted to renegotiate his contract while he was only 2 years into it?
