Don McKee, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports current Dallas Cowboys and former Philadelphia Eagles WR Terrell Owens' new book went on sale Wednesday, July 5. The book was co-written by Jason Rosenhaus, the younger brother of Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Probably the only fresh information is on Page 186, and concerns Owens' opinion on why he was suspended last fall. Owens recounts his two-hour meeting with Eagles head coach Andy Reid and claims he left the meeting with the understanding that things might yet be patched up. An apology here, a promise of good conduct there, and the Super Bowl express might yet get back on track. "Then Donovan (QB McNabb) added salt to the wound," Owens writes, "by coming out and saying the Eagles would be better off without me. Donovan's statement created a public ultimatum for coach Reid. Left with no choice, Coach Reid suspended me for the season." He recounts a mini-blowup with McNabb in the New York Giants game Nov. 28, 2004. He discusses changing agents. He talks about the Super Bowl, his injuries, his hopes for the future with the Dallas Cowboys, and his high-profile past.
