08/11/2004:  In an interview with Playboy magazine that hits newsstands Friday, Owens was asked if he thinks Garcia is gay:   "Like my boy tells me: 'If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.' "

Couple days latter followed up by:  "My thing was I didn't say that he was gay. Like I said, the conversation and interview was loose and from my knowledge I'm not sure if Jeff is gay or not."

06/17/2004: "My biggest adjustment isn't the new team or the plays, but wearing shorts over my tights," he says. "What does that have to do with how I practice?" Since early in his NFL career, he has worn tights; that's what Rice did. But Reid wants his players in black shorts. After the first practice at his first Eagles minicamp, an assistant coach had to tell Owens to put on shorts. He spent the next days walking by Reid, telling him, "These shorts suck." Reid could only laugh.
But Owens is serious. "If I just have my tights on, I feel smooth, fluid, Spider-Man-like. I have given up a lot; for me to wear tights wouldn't be much. At least give me a little leash. I understand having structure, and I guess that is him making a statement. I don't have any problem with that, but it's a big adjustment."

04/13/2005: Owens made a snide comment about McNabb, ESPN reported Tuesday, saying he "wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl."

Owens told ESPN.com: "I played every snap they allowed me to play. I wasn't even running until, like, two weeks before the game. But I made sure I was in the best shape possible. I wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl."

McNabb said: "Just keep my name out of your mouth.  Don't try to throw names or guys under the bus to better yourself. You never heard me say any names in any situation. You never heard me talk about any given players. I'm the guy to be professional and be a man about things."

Andy Reid Shut Up, my name isnt’ Ried
08/12/2005: "I came in to rehab and we got into a discussion about me signing autographs. In the midst of that, he just told me to shut up. I just told him, 'I'm a grown man,' and I told him the same. I told him to shut up."

08/12/2005:  "I told him, 'My last name isn't Reid. I'm not one of his kids. The last time I checked, my last name is Owens. You want me to treat you with respect, you treat me with respect."

08/12/2005: TO on Brad Childress  "Every day he's being spiteful and antagonizing me by saying, 'Hey, Terrell, hey Terrell.'  It got to me one day, so I said, 'What's your point? You don't have to talk to me and I don't have to talk to you.'"

McNabb Hypocrite

08/12/2005: "My attitude is not going to change,"

08/12/2005: "Everybody's calling me a hypocrite, he's the same hypocrite," Owens said. "It was reported that he doesn't want to talk to me privately right now. Then I get to my dorm room, and he has his brother call a friend of mine to talk to me on the side.
"I have no desire to talk to Donovan."

McNabb said. "It's so funny to me how my name keeps getting thrown out there. You've just got to have fun with it and that's exactly what we're doing."

08/12/2005: "I'm going to the Bahamas. I'm going to get a tan."

Where small men succumb, great men overcome!'

08/18/2005: Web site to fans that he ``plans to reward you with a season for the ages” Gee, I think he has already done that. And it's only August. -Ann Killion , SJ Mercury News
