The longstanding feud between former Philadelphia Eagles Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb seems like it's not going to find it's ending soon. Owens recently took a jab at his former quarterback who was speculated to have been drinking prior to the Eagles' Super Bowl XXXIX matchup against the New England Patriots, via Bleacher Report.
T.O. says he “knows for a fact” that Donovan McNabb was out drinking the night before the Eagles played in Super Bowl XXXIX

The former Eagles WR then doubled down on his stance and further stirred the pot with an additional reply on Twitter.
.@MasterTes Along with the sharing of what it meant to be the 3rd black QB to start in the Super Bowl but did he share that he was and is the “FIRST and ONLY” QB, black or white, to throw up in the huddle?! 😂😂😂
Oh yeh! Just found out why he was throwing up too. 🤷🏾♂️🍿 https://t.co/NsXPfCeF49— Terrell Owens (@terrellowens) January 23, 2020
McNabb was rumored to be out and drinking the night before the championship game because he was seen vomiting in the huddle during the game. He ended up throwing 367 passing yards on 30-for-51 passes completed along with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
Ultimately, the Eagles succumbed to the Patriots on a 24-21 defeat and the team's chemistry has been rocky since then. Owens didn't last long in Philadelphia as he was eventually released by the Eagles back in March of 2006 due to a handful of violations for conduct detrimental to the team.
He managed to find his way to the Dallas Cowboys where he stayed until 2008 before having short stints with the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, and the Seattle Seahawks where he retired in 2012.
On the other hand, Donovan McNabb managed to stay at the helm for the Eagles until 2009 where he made his sixth Pro Bowl appearance in his last season with the team. The former Syracuse standout was eventually traded to the Washington Redskins in 2010 before hanging his cleats with the Minnesota Vikings in 2011.
Hopefully, both players will finally be able to talk it out and bury the hatchet to ultimately end their 15-year long feud moving forward.
