Suspended Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens apologized to just about everybody associated with the team on Tuesday in a news conference in front of his New Jersey home. Owens read an apology in a written statement. In the statement he apologized to the Eagles organization, Eagles fans, head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Donovan McNabb. On Monday, Reid and the Eagles suspended Owens for four games and said he will not play again for the team this season, citing what Reid said was a "large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time, during which Terrell had been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions." Owens responded with Tuesday's media briefing. "As you know, I have been suspended and told that I cannot play football for the rest of the season," Owens began. "I am a football player and this is what I do. "It really hurts me not be a part of the team anymore. I came here to help the Eagles get to the Super Bowl and win the big game. When I got hurt last year and everyone said my season was over, I fought hard to prove the world was wrong and do everything possible, including risk my career, and to help the Eagles win the Super Bowl. "I think the mentality that I have, my greatest strength, can sometimes be my greatest weakness. I'm a fighter. I've always been and I'll always be. I fight for what I think is right, and doing so I alienated a lot of my fans and my teammates. "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 cheers for me, I want you to know that I'm sorry this has happened. To you I apologize. "To my teammates, a lot of you have been a friend to me and I appreciate that. I can't tell you how much I wanted to fight along your side to take this team to victory. It was very painful for me not to be there with you against the Redskins last weekend. And it is more painful for me now that I won't be there with you Monday night [against Dallas.] "Also, 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 [Eagles president] Joe Banner and [Eagles owner] Mr. Lurie, I understand that all along you were trying to do what you believed in the best interests for the team, the Philadelphia Eagles. I apologize to 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 everyone to know that football is my passion. I've always given it my all and I will continue to do so." Owens then stepped away from the microphone and agent Drew Rosenhaus answered some questions. Mostly, though, he just said "next question." "Terrell has expressed a great deal of remorse," Rosenhaus stated. "He's here again today to make sure everyone understands that he's making an apology. People, obviously, didn't accept the first one [last Friday]. That's unfortunate. That's not Terrell's fault. He's here to make sure, on the record, that people realize he is sorry, he wants to play football." Rosenhaus is also hopeful that the situation will resolve itself quickly and that Owens, who has filed a grievance, will be allowed to play as soon as this Monday against the Cowboys. "We're in a legal proceeding with the players' association and the Eagles and the management council," Rosenhaus said. "We hope it doesn't come to that. I certainly hope, as a result of this, we'll hear from the Eagles and they'll welcome him back." The Eagles, as of Monday, said there would be no further comment on the situation. Last week, Owens made comments during an interview about how the organization lacked class after not recognizing the fact that he caught his 100th career touchdown pass in an October 23 game against San Diego. Owens also claimed that the team's comment of allegedly forgetting about the milestone touchdown was a "blatant lie" and it insulted the receiver. Philadelphia does not typically stop the game to honor individual achievements. Then, in the same interview, Owens addressed the team's quarterback situation and stated that the Eagles would have a better record and even perhaps be undefeated if All-Pro Brett Favre was under center opposed to McNabb. Owens then issued a brief apology last Friday in a news conference, but never personally apologized to the team, or to McNabb for that matter, about his remarks. The Eagles then suspended him Saturday. "Nothing was intentional ever," Rosenhaus said Tuesday. "He agreed with the statement. He did not come out and try and offend anyone. There was no intent, there was no malicious intent." Rosenhaus went on to criticize the media. "There are players in the NFL who 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't broken any laws. He hasn't broken any rules." Asked what he has done for Owens since becoming his agent, other than get him suspended, Rosenhaus answered "next question." These latest occurrences marked a string of incidents with Owens that began back in the offseason when the Pro Bowl wideout traded barbs through the media with McNabb and spoke of a desire to renegotiate his contract. Owens, who hired Rosenhaus in the offseason, threatened to hold out of training camp if he did not get a new deal, but the Chattanooga product ultimately reported on time and avoided a hefty fine. The 31-year-old Owens had finished just one season into a seven-year, $49 million contract he signed upon his acquisition by Philadelphia last year, but believed that he had already outplayed that deal. The Eagles, though, refused to accommodate Owens. After reporting, Owens was then thrown out of training camp by Reid after getting into an argument with the head coach, and the team suspension lasted one week. Last year, in his first season with Philadelphia, Owens had a sensational campaign. Despite breaking his right leg in December, Owens recovered quickly and played in Super Bowl XXXIX, which the Eagles lost to New England. He caught 77 balls for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns during the regular season, then hauled in nine passes for 122 yards in the Super Bowl. Owens played his first eight seasons in the NFL for San Francisco, but got into a contract dispute with the 49ers, who tried to deal him to Baltimore. That trade was rescinded after Owens refused to play for the Ravens and the Eagles worked out a deal soon after. This season, Owens has 47 receptions for 763 yards and six touchdowns.
