It's a nice thought, Robbo. Sadly, talent wins over character in today's sports, with its greater and greater emphasis on "win and win now."

What I do imagine, though, about T.O. is that he will...

-be cut or dealt by the Eagles in the offseason
-never get the big money he wants.

I think he'll see nothing but incentive-laden contract offers. Teams will want him, but they will put it upfront and in writing how they expect him to behave. To get his money, he will have to behave. I truly believe that. Moreso than other athletes in the NFL, his salary will be tied to on and offield performance.
