RUSH: Here is just a portion, a brief portion of Terrell Owens\u2019 apology which the Iggles<\/emphasize> (4-4)&lt;\/a> and the media have flatly rejected. I wish we had more of this, actually, because he went on a bit. This is the nut of it. Here it is.<\/line> OWENS: To those fans that supported me through these tough times, I thank you for your support. To every single Philadelphia Eagles fan out there that cheered for me, I want you to know that I am sorry this has happened. To you, I apologize.<\/line>RUSH: He went on to apologize to McNabb&lt;\/a> personally. He mentioned Andy Reid&lt;\/a> and Joe Banner&lt;\/a>, the general manager of the team, Jeff Lurie&lt;\/a>, the owner of the Eagles. But the great thing about being able to hear more of this is, it\u2019s about him. He still can\u2019t make this… “I\u2019m not going to be able to play anymore; I\u2019m not going to be able to help my team go to the Super Bowl; I\u2019m not going to help my team get to the end zone; I\u2019m not going to help my team get to the pregame meal; I\u2019m not going to be able to help in my team; I\u2019m not gonna…” I\u2019m not; I\u2019m not; I can\u2019t; I want; I got. I\u2019m sorry. It\u2019s all about him. “Because, hey, you know what? I\u2019m a fighter, and I\u2019m not going to change, and I\u2019m going to believe and doing what I think is right, which I\u2019ve always done. I\u2019ve always done what I think is right, and I\u2019m going to keep doing what I think is right.” So it was just so me, me, me and I, I, I. It was like Bill Clinton at Rosa Parks\u2019 funeral&lt;\/a> (Clinton impression), “Hey, you know what? Rosa Parks got nothing on me. When I was a nine-year-old, even though there weren\u2019t any public buses in my town I still made sure I went to the back of the bus when I found out she was not being let to sit in the front of the bus,” whatever. It\u2019s all about him. <\/line>You know, I could have helped. Folks, I have learned a lot in the last three years. I could have helped this situation. The problem is nobody\u2019s got the guts to talk to an athlete the right way. Everybody coddles them. His agent, I\u2019m sure, came in, “Don\u2019t worry, Terrell. I\u2019m going to get the money from them. I know how to play these guys. They can\u2019t do without you. You got \u2019em all the way to the Super Bowl and they almost won (24-21) it because of you, they can\u2019t get nothing, not going to let you go, nothing, nothing. You just keep on,” and they didn\u2019t know who they\u2019re dealing with in Andy Reid. They did not know who they\u2019re dealing with in Andy Reid. Some coaches might have buckled, but nevertheless, you can\u2019t coddle these people. You\u2019ve gotta get them in the real world. They haven\u2019t been in the real world since the first day they illustrated above average or superior talent. These people get coddled from the youngest ages. They become prodigies, as you know. So this is the first time that the reality has hit. Owens runs himself out of San Francisco&lt;\/a>. His agent screws up in filing the paperwork&lt;\/a> that would allow him to become a free agent so he\u2019s locked into San Francisco. The league says, “Okay, we\u2019ll let you out.” They don\u2019t want him unhappy in San Francisco; it\u2019s bad television. It\u2019s bad everything else.<\/line><\/p>\n

So then the 49ers say, ‘We\u2019re going to trade to you to Baltimore&lt;\/a&gt;.\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m not going to go to Baltimore. I have no desire to play in Baltimore. They don\u2019t have a quarterback in Baltimore. I\u2019m not playing in Baltimore.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So the 49ers say, ‘Okay, okay. The Eagles?\u2019<\/p>\n

He goes over, meets McNabb at the Pro Bowl. McNabb and he get together. McNabb lobbies Reid to bring Owens in. McNabb is the reason Owens is there. Andy Reid, said, ‘We can make music together. This guy can catch passes; I can throw. He\u2019s a premiere receiver,\u2019 blah, blah, blah, blah, and he just ends up stabbing everybody in the back that ever did anything for him. But the league bent over backwards, didn\u2019t hold him to the rules of the league a couple times. How many players get traded and say, ‘I am not going. I am not going\u2019? Some do, some do, but that\u2019s my point. They get coddled — and the better they are, the more they get away with it. Here\u2019s the agent. This is Drew Rosenhaus after T.O. has spoken — without tears, but very sincere, I thought it was a moving apology. Here\u2019s what the agent said.<\/p>\n

ROSENHAUS: Terrell\u2019s received a lot of criticism, in my opinion unfairly. He agreed with this statement. He did not come out and try and offend anyone. He agreed with the comment, he was asked if he agreed with the statement, he said I agree. There was no intent, there was no malicious intent. Terrell\u2019s goal this year was to win a Super Bowl as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. His goal was to get traded from the first day of training camp because he was unhappy with the contract he himself signed one year ago. He wanted to get traded or he wanted to get a new contract. That\u2019s why it was me, me, me, me, me.<\/p>\n

ROSENHAUS: — waiver. That\u2019s his goal. He hopes to do that. This is very unfortunate that he\u2019s been sidetracked, but hopefully you\u2019ll all help us get back on track. Because the bottom line is, the bottom line is I don\u2019t believe the media\u2019s been fair to him. There are players in the NFL who have are arrested, who violate the program when it comes to drugs or substance abuse, and they are not punished as seriously as he has been. There are players who do not get criticized as heavily by the media who do very significant things. He hasn\u2019t broken any laws; he hasn\u2019t broken any rules.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He didn\u2019t follow the directions of his coach. But, you know, that\u2019s kind of a baby\u2019s defense. ‘Well, other people get away with more.\u2019 That\u2019s not the way it works. You\u2019re not judged on what other people do. Adults learn that early in life. You learn that there are things bigger than yourself, and you learn to defend yourself against certain charges, you don\u2019t bring other people in, and, ‘It\u2019s not fair. It\u2019s not fair.\u2019 It\u2019s not fair, because that\u2019s not reality. Reality isn\u2019t fair. Life isn\u2019t fair. Circumstances are what you have, and you play the hand that\u2019s dealt you. So people are still caught up in childishness. Rosenhaus — we don\u2019t have in on tape, but Rosenhaus — went on and asked all kinds of questions. He wouldn\u2019t answer, ‘Next question!\u2019 Mr. Rosenhaus, is Terrell…? Next question! ‘Mr. Rosenhaus…?\u2019 Next! He had about 12 of those he would respond, ‘Next question!\u2019 refusing to answer them. One more bite from Rosenhaus.<\/p>\n

ROSENHAUS: I believe the media has not been fair for him, either. I wouldn\u2019t want to talk to them if I were in his position, to hear the way the people have ripped him. He is a competitor. He is great competitor. He gave up, potentially, his career to compete in the Super Bowl. He did that as a member of the team. He did that for the Eagles, for the fans, and now he\u2019s getting ripped, called selfish. This is not about him being selfish. He\u2019s a genuine, honest person. He never intended to offend anybody at any time.<\/line>RUSH: None of this washes. I\u2019m sorry, folks, none of this washes. Terrell Owens, in fact, is who he is because the media has coddled him. The media has made him bigger than life. The media has rewarded his stunts. The autograph after a touchdown with a sharpie on a football (story)&lt;\/a> or whatever. All these dances in the end zone, they put him on ESPN and the highlight reel, and they made him bigger than life. They\u2019ve encouraged his actions. They\u2019ve inspired him to keep going more and more over the line, becoming more and more outrageous. They are exactly complicit in this. It\u2019s one of the big problems — and then, of course, at some point as the media wants to do, they will turn on anybody after they build them up and make them huge. At some point the media will be offended in this outrageous behavior. Well, hey, who\u2019s been promoting it all these years? Who\u2019s been making this guy bigger than life all these years? It\u2019s like Bill Clinton. The mainstream media builds this guy up. He\u2019s the greatest liar in the world! (Clinton impression) “Hey, you know, I can keep doing it. They love it!” Bill Clinton, biggest horn dog in the world, why, this guy has got women flocking. “Hey, that just gives me license to just keep going out there and playing with women. The media loves it.” It\u2019s not a big mystery here, but this is, to me, very interesting. There\u2019s a story here on the FoxSports.com&lt;\/a> website. <\/line> Donovan McNabb\u2019s father is relieved that Terrell Owens probably won\u2019t play for the Iggles again, and you read it and it all makes sense. You get down to the last two paragraphs. “As for Owens, McNabb said the wide receiver\u2019s criticism of his son stung him not as a father, but as a black man.” McNabb\u2019s name is Sam McNabb, Donovan\u2019s dad, Sam McNabb said that the wide receiver\u2019s criticism, Owens\u2019 criticism “of his son Donovan stung him not as a father but as a black man.” Here\u2019s what he said. “‘Within the last month, we\u2019ve seen a man (Donovan McNabb) who is trying to accomplish something very difficult, to be an African-American quarterback at the top of his game, attacked by someone of his own race,\u2019 [Sam] McNabb said. ‘That\u2019s what really amazes me. It\u2019s like another black-on-black crime. Those are hurts that create scars that take a long time to heal.'” Okay, so apparently Owens could have said this if he was white? Well, no. We know that doesn\u2019t work. Uh, and it\u2019s difficult to be an African-American quarterback in the NFL? Uh, didn\u2019t know you could say that. (clearing throat) It really hurts Sam McNabb that the criticism is not the criticism, but that it\u2019s coming from a black guy. It\u2019s like “black on black crime.” So where\u2019s the solidarity here? So there you have it. I mean, they\u2019re going to clean it up. It\u2019s been repaired, and the Eagles will move on with it. I think Andy Reid had no choice but than to do this. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: I think this is before he gets the apology. This is how sorry he feels for himself.<\/line>OWENS: I would like to reiterate my respect for Donovan McNabb as a quarterback, and as a teammate. I apologize to him for any comments that may have been negative. To my head coach, Andy Reid, I owe you an apology. You and I were in a tough spot this year. I know you were just trying to coach this team, and we did not see eye-to-eye sometimes. But on the practice field and on game day, you knew you could count on me to give my very best. We had a lot of wins together, and I thank you for that. I respect you as a coach and as a person. To Joe Banner and Mr. Lurie, I understand that all along you were trying to do what you believed in the best interests of the team, the Philadelphia Eagles. I apologize to the both of you. As I said before, this is very painful for me to be in this position. I know in my heart that I can help this team win the Super Bowl and not only being a dominant player, but also being a team player. I can bring that. In closing, I want everybody to know that football is my passion. I\u2019ve always given it my all and I will continue to do so.<\/line>RUSH: All right, a little bit of both there. You got the mention of the names of the people he\u2019s apologizing to, so you\u2019ve got direct apologizes, but then back to it\u2019s my passion, it\u2019s what I want to do, I\u2019m ready to come back as a dominant player and as a team player. Here\u2019s Israel in Gainesville, Florida. You\u2019re up next, sir. Welcome to the program.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Greetings from a blue county in a red state.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you, sir. Nice to have you with us.<\/line>CALLER: You know, I would have rather called to complain about left-wing liberal media or some other thing. Sometimes I haven\u2019t been able to get through to your show, but I don\u2019t want to say that you\u2019re exactly missing an opportunity here, but I think it is an opportunity to show how the media is biased and how it\u2019s unfair in its treatment. I mean, the press conference that Rosenhaus was giving was to the media. He wasn\u2019t necessarily addressing himself — you know, I guess to everybody, so to speak — when he was answering those questions. It was media questions, and he was telling them they\u2019ve been unfair with T.O. so how can they come down and ask these questions and make all these allegations and they don\u2019t treat other athletes the same way? I mean, look what happened with Kobe&lt;\/a>. He didn\u2019t get grilled by the media. They are trying to defend him whether it was true or not even before the trial was over, and you go down the list whether they\u2019re beating up their wives, whether they\u2019re taking performance enhancing drugs —<\/line>RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. When it comes —<\/line>CALLER: They don\u2019t get treated the same way.<\/line>RUSH: Wait, wait. You can do that. But when you come to Kobe, it is a legal case; his lawyers aren\u2019t going to let him say anything. Anything he says could be used. But no, Kobe can\u2019t talk —<\/line>CALLER: I mean the media. The media coverage of what happened and how they reported it as opposed to what they\u2019re doing with T.O. — and let\u2019s be honest, T.O. agreed with a statement, a comment that Irvin made, and even with what you went through at ESPN. I thought you would have come out and said, “Look, the media does report what they want, and they say it the way they want it to be.” He hasn\u2019t broken any NFL rules —<\/line>RUSH: Let\u2019s go point by point here. You\u2019re blaming Michael Irvin&lt;\/a>? I mean, Michael —<\/line>CALLER: — the media is saying that. He says —<\/line>RUSH: Okay, Michael Irvin. Michael Irvin\u2019s interviewing Owens. Owens apparently will really only talk to Michael Irvin at ESPN. So Irvin says, “I think the Eagles would be better off with Brett Favre&lt;\/a>. That\u2019s what I think,” and Owens, who\u2019s already on record as having dissed McNabb over and over again, agrees with him, and then the press comes and [Rosenhaus] says, “He didn\u2019t make a statement. He was just agreeing. He was just agreeing.”<\/line>CALLER: He was agreeing, that\u2019s his opinion. I mean, I can agree with that. Besides, what he initially said about McNabb was true.<\/line>RUSH: Well, what\u2019s the difference? If you\u2019re agreeing —<\/line>CALLER: He got tired and got winded or whatever —<\/line>RUSH: Sorry about the phone situation, sir. These people can\u2019t hear me when I\u2019m talking. If you\u2019re agreeing with the opinion, what\u2019s the difference in agreeing and agreeing with the opinion? It\u2019s the same thing.<\/line>CALLER: You know, you kept saying life is unfair and that people get treated a certain way. Isn\u2019t McNabb bigger than that? Isn\u2019t he secure enough in himself to say, “Okay, well, that\u2019s T.O.\u2019s opinion. Go play for the Packers.” It\u2019s just that it\u2019s kind of odd that all this thing has been blown up the way it\u2019s been blown up because of something that he\u2019s been saying or, you know, wanting to renegotiate his contract when there\u2019s millions of dollars going all the way around, I mean the bottom line. But it\u2019s not like he, you know, committed a crime, went to a night club and stabbed somebody or shot somebody or was caught with drugs.<\/line>RUSH: No.<\/line>CALLER: I mean, in that way you can say T.O. has been an upstanding guy. That\u2019s the truth. You don\u2019t hear about those kind of scandals with him. All he brings on himself — and I\u2019m agreeing that he does bring this on himself, is all the controversy with the stunts he does in the end zone and everything he talks and says. <\/line>RUSH: Don\u2019t misunderstand my point about that. I think — and you\u2019re speaking pretty quickly. It\u2019s tough for me to follow you and our transcription is about two sentences behind you, so I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m catching everything you\u2019re saying. It\u2019s not your fault, don\u2019t misunderstand, but lets see if I got the basic premise. You think the media has been grossly unfair to Owens as opposed to giving other coddled athletes far more beneficial treatment, when in fact some of those athletes have broken the law, have been charged criminally, and some convicted, where Owens is a model citizen in that regard. He\u2019s just rather flamboyant on the field and off, and so you think there\u2019s some treatment here that is, well, unequal?<\/line>CALLER: Right. And, you know what, I agree 100% that he\u2019s been wrong. I agreed in the team have been suspended him, and maybe it was a little excessive. I don\u2019t know, but the media, as far as the media is concerned, you know, Phil Jackson in 1999 made a statement —<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re not going to get an argument from me about that, at all, be it the sports media or anywhere else. There are certain chosen subjects that are going to be given kid glove treatment no matter who they are, no matter what they do — well, no, it does matter who they are, and it does matter what they do. But in this case, for the longest time, the media did coddle Owens. For the longest time. I think the media is partially responsible for the way he behaves. <\/line> <\/line>CALLER: But–<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait a second, now. Wait a second, now. Have you been around professional athletes in your life? Have you worked with them?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, not personally.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have, and I could tell you stories. This is not an indictment of them. I\u2019m just telling you: The people that are qualified to play professional sports — football, baseball — in this country are so rare. There\u2019s a reason there aren\u2019t a thousand teams. It\u2019s because you don\u2019t have that many people that can play at this level. So when these people — when these athletes — display the ability that\u2019s going to take them as far as college or professional athletics, they are coddled and they become sheltered from the normal growing and maturing aspects of life during a period of life where you learn those things. They\u2019re not forced to grow up. They\u2019re not forced to handle things for themselves. They\u2019re not forced to be mature. They are allowed to get away with this because their talent is so rare. In addition to that, they have hero worship from the fans. All of this endorses and encourages this kind of behavior. Now, some of them are different. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re not all this way. They\u2019re all individuals like we all are, and they all have differences, but there are some character types here that I have found quite common, and there are exceptions to it, of course. But my point is this. When you have Owens doing these flamboyant things, and the media getting their jollies off because it\u2019s great television, and encouraging more of it by essentially giving him wider and more positive coverage every time he does it, yeah, you\u2019ll have some discussion groups talking about how I think this is bad; I think this is good, but as I recall, the Sharpie incident and all this, even professional football, ‘I like this, adds more fun to the game. Football is a little stale. This is all good stuff.\u2019 Well, Owens watches these shows. He sees what the effect he\u2019s having is, and he likes the attention. That\u2019s what part of being a professional athlete is all about. You love being on stage. You like the attention. You do what it takes to get it once you learn what you do that gets it, and then after awhile they\u2019re going to turn on you like they did on him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Exactly. I see that as them giving a rope to hang him with later on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You think they do it on purpose?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, they don\u2019t — maybe like you said, they coddle him for a while and then suddenly they turn on him when it\u2019s played out and it\u2019s going to be a bigger story to crucify him, that\u2019s what they do, and I know the whole thing with T.O. and I\u2019m not saying that I\u2019m an apologist for him, but it\u2019s just when you read some of these, you know, articles and some of these columns, the way they\u2019re going after him, it\u2019s like it\u2019s personal with their reporters.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is. It most certainly is personal. I\u2019ve been there. If he would have criticized the center, Hank Fraley&lt;\/a&gt;, nobody would have cared. He wouldn\u2019t have been penalized. The Eagles wouldn\u2019t have been upset about it. Fraley and he would have settled it sometime after practice and patched up the blood, Band-Aids, but he attacked McNabb, and McNabb has been inoculated. You don\u2019t criticize McNabb in Philadelphia. You don\u2019t criticize McNabb in the media. You don\u2019t criticize McNabb on that team. You do not do it. That was his mistake. He targeted McNabb, blaming McNabb. I\u2019ll tell you when this started, was after the Super Bowl when he got on McNabb for being tired and not being in shape.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: After the season, that\u2019s when this all started. That\u2019s when it all started; then he got greedy and wanted his money renegotiated even though he just agreed to it a year ago, then you have the agent getting involved in this. These guys, you know, they\u2019re not innocent in any of this either, but I\u2019ll tell you something. You know, something nobody\u2019s talking about in this, and I\u2019m just going to take a wild guess. If you remember, two things: Owens got upset when he broke his leg in the game against the Cowboys&lt;\/a&gt; last November. He got upset when McNabb and the rest of the Eagles said, ‘That\u2019s all right. We can win this without T.O.\u2019 Okay, that\u2019s what they\u2019ve got to say. Owens wanted them to say, ‘Oh, no, T.O. is out! Oh, my! Oh, no! Our chances are shot. All we can do is hope to win this for T.O.\u2019 This is the baby in him. He wants to be the focus even when he\u2019s not there. He wants the team to think they may not win with him not there, then they go ahead and do it, and that\u2019s why he wanted to get back on the field for the Super Bowl. This is the real thing, folks. Nobody is talking about this that I\u2019ve seen or heard. I\u2019m sure there are people in Philadelphia talking about it but I\u2019m not there and I don\u2019t know it. But this fight that he had with Hugh Douglas&lt;\/a&gt; last week in the locker room, in the training room, you know what precipitated that? <\/p>\n

Douglas walked in there, and Owens is in the training room, and he said, ‘I know for a fact that there are people faking injuries in this training room.\u2019 Well, you remember after the Denver game, Owens announced that he was out for the coming two weeks; he had sprained his ankle. Well, nobody had seen any evidence of that injury post-game, after it had supposedly occurred and clearly some people thought he was faking the injury. I\u2019m going to tell you something: in a professional locker room, with those guys in football getting beat up to a pulp every week, with guys genuinely and legitimately hurt, if they do think somebody is faking an injury, that can break the bond more than the criticism of the quarterback or anything else. I will lay you a dollar to a doughnut that what really set this going and made this course irreversible was the thought that Owens was faking that injury simply to get attention to himself or to harm the team or because he was still upset that he wasn\u2019t being thrown the ball enough or credited enough for their success or what have you, mark my words. <\/p>\n
