Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid indicated earlier this week he wanted Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens to bury the beef they had from their playing days with the Philadelphia Eagles.
It doesn’t look like the Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver is going to follow Coach Reid’s game plan.
“Things happen in this business, man, and I’m not a grudge holder, I’ve never been that way,” Reid said on Thursday. “I’ve talked with him. I’m close with Donovan, I’m close with him. My wish would be that those two just bring it back together.”
Owens took to Twitter on Saturday and unloaded major shade toward his former quarterback, McNabb.
Hey @FMitchell84, can you make sure our QB isn’t out drinking? We have a big game tomorrow. 🤮 #XXXIXmemories

The Owens tweet is directed to former fellow Philly wideout Freddy Mitchell and T.O. is referencing his long-spoken belief that McNabb became ill in the huddle near the end of the game … insinuating that imbibing the night before left the former Syracuse star at, um, less than 100%.
The accusation about drinking is connected to the long-running claim — disputed by McNabb — that he threw up in the huddle during the Eagles’ 24-21 loss to the New England Patriots. Former teammate Lito Sheppard said McNabb did throw up, calling it “subtle,” while SportsRadio 94WIP host and former fullback Jon Ritchie once agreed, “It looked that way.”
“There are teammates who say he threw up in the huddle,” Owens said. “Personally, I didn’t see it. But there are guys, and I know that there are teammates that I talked to recently, that said that they saw him throw up in the huddle. I’ve talked to teammates since then and know for a fact that he was out the night before.”
