Yeah. The one he tore down said:

T.akes
O.ne
to know one.

This in reference to his stating he thought Jeff Garcia is gay. Dubious, since Garcia can be seen around Cleveland dating a former Playboy Playmate of the Year.

T. O. seems to be a troubled person of low self esteem. In order to feel some sense of self worth, he needs the attention he garners by acting out. He stated, in reference to getting the attention: "That's when you know you're big time. That's when you know you're on your way to stardom."

By his measuring stick, Osama Bin Laden is "big time" and "on the way to stardom."

As long as Philly keeps winning, people will accept what he does around here, but I can definately see a problem developing down the road. It's part of the package that you know you are getting ahead of time when you take a guy like TO onto your team. If he helps them win it all though, whatever he does will be worth it.

Who would have thought going in that the Giants would have a good shot at finishing 2nd in the division.

NOT ME!!! and heres a few more surprises so far this year.

the steelers are leading their division, and are tied for the 2nd longest winning streak in the NFL.

jacksonville is leading its division, and is one game over the colts??

detroit is on the inside track for a wild card spot, and is only one game back of minnesota.

the rams are the best team in the NFC west, with a scorching record of 4-3.. and what ever happened to seattle.?

my 'new kids on the block' awards..

QB- byron leftwich, david carr
RB- chris brown, thomas jones
WR- andre johnson, roy williams
TE- antonio gates, jason witten
and the two biggest surprise defenses.. the giants and believe it or not, the cardinals. who decided to wake those guys up?

If you had the misfortune of being at the Meadowlands on Sunday to see the Giants/Lions as I was, you'd think twice about slotting the Giants to finish second. As long as Coughlin insists on using Dayne in short-yardage situations, the Giants are toast. Also, Warner lofted a pass in the endzone that would have been a touchdown if he had gunned it in there like Favre would have.

Ah, the joys of being a Giants fan. However, since Washington and Dallas are not setting the world on fire, the Giants do have a shot at finishing strong.

Oh, and my fantasy football team is now 1-6. That's been fun.

i am in 2 fantasy leagues this year, and doing rather well.

in one league, i am 6-0-1, leading my division..
and the other, i am 5-2, in second place in my division.

both leagues are 12 team leagues, and top 4 in each division will make the playoffs. unless i have a complete collapse, i should make the playoffs in both leagues.

these are money leagues, so i hope to do well.. superbowl payouts are at least $450 for winner, and $250 runner-up. i done told my wife if i manage to win both leagues, i am using the money to buy myself a new sub.. she didnt argue, so thats good!!

Yes, I only said they had a good shot at second because of how bad it looks like the rest of the division is turning out to be. This was supposed to be the year that some of these other teams would start to challenge the Eagles....doesn't appear that way now. Dallas needs a QB and RB, and Gibbs is not the savior everyone was hoping for. A coach can help, but not make as dramatic of a change as some people were thinking. There were some so called experts claiming super bowl for the Skins this year, just cause of Gibbs.

The Steelers are back, baby!

zarak- to answer your question as to who is good enough to beat the eagles? well, i think you might get your answer this weekend.

i am backing the steelers, even though they beat my boys. thats OK.. cause it will be nice to watch them dismantle the mcnabb/owens connection.
