How to lose your job through excessive arrogance

Terrell Owens lost his job working for the Philadelphia Eagles today due to excessive arrogance. Eagles Coach Andy Reid announced today that Owens will be suspended for the next four games without pay and will not play for the team again. With a grievance pending Reid could not go into the matter beyond the statement some weasely lawyer wrote up. However, I can say why he is no longer a member of that team. He was fired because he decided he is the most important member of his organization. It doesn't matter if the organization is a sports team or a corporation, no one individual can be bigger than the organization as a whole. Anyone of us could be hit by lightning tomorrow and whatever we were going to do someone else will fill the void. The Eagles played a football game without Owens last night. In the end, what started from a desire to be paid more resulted in him getting paid a lot less. When the Eagles are done with Owens he will have his wish of being a free agent but his dreams of a big contract just went out the window. There are only 30 teams in the NFL and three teams have already had the fill of him (49'rs, Ravens, and Eagles). Out of the remaining 27 teams I imagine more than half wouldn't want to deal with his immaturity and lack of team ethos. Add his recent medical history to his behavioral problems and you have a player that may not get any offers in line with what he believes he's worth. Closest comparison in sports would be Jose Canseco. Canseco believes he was blackballed and I can already see Owens reaching that same conclusion when no team decides to throw millions of dollars at him.
