What Is Early Word?
The Philadelphia Inquirer's experimental online "morning show", which began in Sept. 2005, went on hiatus in the summer of 2006, after a gradual shift to putting more of its content directly on Philly.com.



About the Host
Peter Mucha, husband and father of two, grew up in Cherry Hill and is a lifelong Philly sports fan. He's been writing and editing for The Inquirer for 18 years. His motto (at least for today): "If I'm not brief, give me grief."

Developing Story
Reports: T.O. Will Go
That's the word, heard on various media outlets. For example, sportscaster Gary Papa says indications are growing Terrell Owens has played his last game for the Eagles, according to WPVI's Web site. He expects the team will tell him to simply go home, just as Tampa Bay did to another disruptive receiver, Keyshawn Johnson.

The Eagles are expected to make a decision today. That might be why coach Andy Reid's news conference has been postponed from noon to 3 p.m.

Any final action, though, might depend on Owens. It's possible Reid will give Owens the chance to return if he does what he failed to do before his suspension on Saturday: apologize in front of the team and individually to Donovan McNabb.

About not having T.O. for last night's game, McNabb said, "We might be better off."

NFL teams can suspend a player without play for up to four games. Owens and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, would be expected to grievance to challenge any loss of pay. More.

What do you say? Should T.O. stay or go?
