When are you gonna start listening to Big Daddy ?

Ok so let me 'splain the entire situation to all of the sore losers out there, since the details of the whole thing are all over the area here. In short there was a clause or maybe a 'loophole' in TO's contract that the 49'ers organization was not even familiar with. Not sure exactly what it was something along the lines that if they traded him it was not for the 3 years remaining on his contract the Ravens thought they were getting for but only 1 and they have to waive the final two years. Something along those lines the details are not really that important. Anyway during the hearing on Monday, this was bought to light and it became pretty evident that the ruling was going to go the way of TO. Which means the trade would have been null - could be done over again but the Ravens might not want him knowing they only get him for 1 year so they could back out - the 9'ers realizing they have him for another year (which they didn't want at this point) or if they trade it might not be for much now and the Eagles sitting, licking their preverbial chops. In short once this became obvious to all the teams - the Eagles still not wanting to take chance the ruling may go against them, initiated this trade that everyone ended up taking because in the end the Ravens may have ended up with nothing - they got a number 5 pick yet gave up nothing - the 9'ers wanted nothing more to do with Owens, they end up with a pretty good DE in Whiting and the Eagles gave up what they would have initially - so everyone is happy - at least in Phila.

Now go spread the word and tell them Big Daddy sent you. :p

E A G L E S - Eagles!

There's room on the bandwagon if anyone wants to hop on early - I scootch over a bit to make room. :p
