A friend told me about this feud and this popped in my head, and I'M RUNNING WITH THIS :D!
Never tick off the Nice Eagle
If the Guardians had learn anything in their job, is that the feud/rivalry between players on the same team is not as uncommon as fans think. No matter the league or sport, there are rivalries such as this.
There have been many of these in the past of the sporting world, the NFL no exception to this. Many of these rivalries have either come from trades, fall outs or the MOST COMMON...Clashing personalities.
One of these infamous rivalries like this comes from Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb. Needless to say when Terrell joined the Eagles in 2004 and the two meet...YEAH it was fast. With that the team was also dragged into the fray and when Terrell left for the Cowboys 2006, the rivalry was heated up even more.
The Eagles were left fired up on this...EXCEPT, ONE.
And needless to say...the teams learned FAST, why you should you NEVER GET HIM INVOLVED.
October 8, 2006; Lincoln Financial Field...
Swoop: HEY! LASSO!
Lasso looked up and smiled from his spot seeing Swoop waving as he flew down, landing next to the Cowboy Rusher holding the bag containing his belongings.
Lasso: Howdy Swoop, hope you are doing well this season?
Swoop: I am, team's really doing better since preseason was over. How about you? You doing good?
Lasso: *walks with Swoop* I am, still surprise with the preseason tie. Wanted to let y'all know too Bill is planing on retiring after this season, not out of the league but taking the behind the scenes job.
Swoop: *smiles grows* Oh man, Bill retiring again? I hope he finds a good spot in the executive position.
Lasso: *chuckles* Well the Dolphins have their eyes on him so it shouldn't take to long, not to mention he has experience with the role before with the Jets.
Swoop: True. It's not gonna be too long till he finds a good spot. How is Terrell doing on the team? Is Dallas treating him well?
Lasso couldn't help but smile warmly at the Eagle concern. Dispite all the backlash and rivalry with Terrell and the team here, Swoop still worried about them and was the only one to not be involved in the fare.
Lasso: He's doing well, granted there's some hiccups. Boys a wild child for sure.
Swoop: Good to know...Just, a warning. The Franchise here is, still ticked with the whole thing so be careful.
Lasso: *nods* Thanks for the warning. But this is our team's rivalry, how extreme can this whole backlash be on the rivalry?
.
.
Second Quarter...
Lasso: *horror* Never mind this is bad. This is extremely, extremely bad!
Lasso literally was in the center of basically a BLOOD BATH with both teams, mostly Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb. Once Terrell hit the field, the rage rose to an ELEVEN on the scale.
Bill Parcells: *cringing* YEESH...I've seen the rivalry games between these two teams but this, can't help but get flashbacks to the Bounty bowl. Someones gonna get hurt if this continues.
..LASSO PALED AS THE MEMORY OF THAT DAY CAME IN FAST. The memory of Swoop trying to stop the yelling and bottle throwing only to end up hospitalized and nearly losing his arm. Seeing those two fight, Lasso blindly ran forward in a panic while the action was in full swing.
Swoop: *confused* What th- *worry;going over* Lasso BE CAREFUL!
Lasso: *trying to separate the two* COME ON YOU TWO STOP IT! LET'S TALK THIS THROUGH SOMEONE'S GONNA GET-
A hard kick to the face by both rivaling players sent Lasso to the ground in pain covering his face and-
..
SCREECH!
The area shoke as both players were pinned to the ground in shock and TERROR. The teams, fans and even the Owner were shaking in fear at what they were seeing...
THE SIGHT OF THEIR RUSHER WITH RED EYES AND A COLD STARE THAT LOOKED UPON TERRELL OWENS AND DONOVAN MCNABB.
Swoop: *calm anger* Apologies, to, Lasso.
Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb: *shaken* I (what are-) he was being a- (I'm just doing my-)
Swoop: *RAGE* I SAID APOLOGIES RIGHT NOW OR I SWEAR YOU WILL REGRET EVER HURTING HIM YOU HERE ME I DON'T CARE WEATHER IF YOUR ON MY TEAM OR NOT YOU WILL PAY!
Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb: *fear* SORRY WE'RE SORRY WE'RE SO SORRY!
Swoop let them both go, leaving them shaken in terror as he turned. The Eagles and the Cowboys were shaking at what Swoop was going to do next, HE WAS RED EYED. HE WAS TICKED.
Swoop: *red eyes fade; worry; runs to Lasso* Lasso are you okay?!
And they felt more fear as Swoop knelt next to Lasso, helping him sit up.
Swoop: *worry* Lasso are you okay?
Lasso: *pain* No, not really um..don't panic.
Lasso removed his hands, Swoop (as well as everyone else) cringed seeing the small red dots of blood on both his cheeks. His cheeks were covered in blood as were his hands, some blood dripped onto the field.
Swoop: *concern* Oh that looks like it hurts. Um, yeah I'll get you cleaned up and call Freefall for a second opinion. I don't think i need to sucther them but i want to double check.
Swoop help Lasso shakenly to his feet as he lead them off the field, turning to the Cowboys quickly.
Swoop: Sorry for the scene. I promise I'll let Liberty know about this. Excuse me.
And with that Swoop lead Lasso away from the stunned crowd and teams as the first half ended in cold fear.
.
.
Terrell Owens: *shaken* What, the freak was that? That was...I don't even know where to begin with what happened.
The Cowboys were in the visitor's locker room trying to calm their racing hearts on what they saw.
Bill Parcells: *shaken* I heard that Swoop is someone you shouldn't get angry, Lib told me when I first started in the league. I CAN SEE WHY NOW.
Tony Romo: *shaken* Terrell you just ticked off the wrong person, this isn't a player or a coach you TICK OFF A RUSHER. THE EAGLE RUSHER OF ALL THINGS.
Drew Bledsoe: *shaken* Terrell, for your sake and Donovan's sake, YOU BEST KEEP THAT EAGLE FAR FROM YOU FIGHTS.
Terrell Owens: *shaken* Lesson learned. I gotta keep far from him less I get..I don't even want to know what he could do if something like this happens again. I mean..SWOOP, OF ALL RUSHERZ, WAS READY TO DRAW BLOOD. THAT, IS TERRIFYING.
...
Donovan McNabb: *shaken* That, was the most unhinged thing I seen in my life. Swoop, of all Rusherz, was TERRIFYING.
The Eagles were just as shaken up as their rivals, never seeing their own Rusher in rage before.
Jeffery Lurie: *shaken* I mean...Swoop was TICKED. I thought the others were just giving me the low down about their red eyes but..DANG!
Andy Reid: *shaken* It is safe to say we all now know what not to do with a Rusher like Swoop. A kind heart can also have the most fearful reactions.
Sean McDermont: *shaken* So you better keep on your toes with what you say and do around him now McNabb, especially with Terrell.
Donovan McNabb: *shaken* I will. I DO NOT WANT to see those red eyes so close to me coming from Swoop EVER AGAIN. The last thing any of us, from both Eagles and Cowboys, want is an angry Eagle.
.
.
Freefall: *checking the wounds* Well, their not too deep. Don't think sucthers are necessary, but they will certainly need some time to heal.
Swoop sighed in relief as Freefall covered Lasso's other cheek with a patch, both now being covered with pacthes. They were in the first aid room of the stadium far from the crowd.
Swoop: Thank goodness. I was so worried.
Lasso:..Swoop, are you going to be al'right? I, never seen you so ticked before.
Freefall: I agree are you okay?
Swoop gave them a warm smile nodding.
Swoop: Yeah, I'm good. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew not to let the rivalry get in their heads.
Both sighed as they smiled nodding.
Freefall: Well okay, if you say so. Just, warn us next time okay.
Lasso: Yeah, sorry again for scaring you there-
Swoop: *shakes his head* No no, you where just trying to stop the conflict from getting extreme. I saw in you eyes you were getting flashbacks to the Bounty Bowl so I understand your worries.
At that the door opened as Blow-Torch and Liberty came in, the Steeler Rusher laughing in pride as he hugged Swoop (who hugged back).
Blow-Torch: SWOOP YOU WERE AMAZING!
Swoop: R-Really, you think so?
Blow-Torch: Of course! You were so angry and so calm I literally shivered there, you really showed those boys who the pro was here.
Swoop blushed as Liberty shoke his head with Freefall.
Liberty: Well, one problem solved. And something tells me no one will forget about this anytime soon.
Couple years later, August 2014...
The Guardians were each station at a location where Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb were doing interviews (three Guardians per player).
Ish: *to NFLR* How things going for you?
Ash (otherline): So far so good, but man do these guys hate eachother.
Ish: *to NFLR* I know, yeesh can anything stop these two from going at each-other's throats.
.
Terrell Owens: So, anything else you want to ask me.
Reporter: Just one, I heard rumors about this and it's been going back and forth so we want your honest opinion on this matter.
Terrell Owens: *leans back* A rumor eh? Well nothing I can handle, whatever it is it can't beat me. I bet McNabb won't be able to answer this so lay it one me!
.
Donovan McNabb: Does anyone else have a question to ask?
Reporter: Yes, we want to ask you your honest opinion on a debate that's been going on around your franchise, manly the youth.
Donovan NcNabb: A debate huh? Well i hope I can answer your question, but i have to ask what is this debate that it's spreading?
.
Reporter: SCALE OF ONE TO TEN HOW ANGRY CAN SWOOP THE EAGLE RUSHER GET?
...
Both players at their locations SCREAMED IN HORROR as they were pale, running out of the rooms still screaming leaving everyone confused...and the Guardians hiding their chuckles.
Bit later, HOK...
Marty: Hey Swoop? Can we ask you a question?
Swoop looked up from his work spot with a few other Rusherz, seeing the Guardians walked over to him...they we're grinning and chuckling.
Swoop: Sure thing, what is it?
Troy was the one who broke into laughter, the others smiling all the while.
Troy:..*laughing* WHAT THE HEY DID YOU DO TO TERRELL OWENS AND DONOVAN MCNABB REGARDING THEIR FUED?!
Swoop blushed with a sheepish smile as the others chuckled.
Swoop: Let's just say...they learned a important lesson back in 2006.
Freedom: *chuckles* OH YEAH, everyone learned a important lesson that fateful day.
Swoop blush deepened. Either way, he showed the teams that day why it's not a very good idea to tick off the nice and sweet guys, weather they wanted it or not.
THE
END
