I think T.O. likes somebody to hold his hand. It might have taken nothing more than for Eagles Coach Andy Reid and team president Joe Banner to go hold his hand. The Eagles could have called everybody in, sat T.O. down and told him, 'T.O., we will never forget what you did for us last year, especially putting your career on the line like that to play in the Super Bowl coming back from such a severe injury.'

I really do.
