With the Eagles set to visit the Cowboys Monday night, Terrell Owens can’t miss an opportunity to discuss his former team and his former quarterback, saying a major reason he left Philadelphia was that Donovan McNabb couldn’t handle his fame.

“I think the fans and just the excitement of me coming there and being there, it became too overwhelming for Donovan,” Owens said, per Tim MacMahon of the Dallas Morning News. “Other than that, I think at one point in time I will say that we had a good relationship. I think I got too big for Philly, too big for him. But here, Tony [Romo] and I have a great relationship.”

Owens also indicated that McNabb didn’t like how popular Owens was becoming among fans in Philadelphia.

“I can remember being in that stadium and hearing them chanting my name,” Owens said. “That couldn’t bode well for Donovan to hear that. It was an every-week thing.”

Owens did acknowledge that “Donovan made me a better receiver in Philly.” He then added, “but I think it would be hard for him to admit that I made him a better quarterback.”

Nothing new here. Geez, that was like 4 years ago. I wish everyone would let it go. But I still here BOTH of these guys talk about it in interviews.
