Whatever! Tony played the whole Prima Donna role perfectly here. He INITIALLY said he DID NOT WANT TO BE TRADED - then as the Oct. trading deadline neared, he changed his mind and said that IF Atlanta could improve them selves by trading him, that he would not be opposed to such a move but AGAIN STATED THAT HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. BOTTOM LINE - IF he would have been man enough to say, "TRADE ME, " he would have been. However, THAT wasn't the case and the clock struck 12 and he was still a Falcon and no SB ring for his career. I'm a fan of Tony's, but it serves him right how it all went down. If you want something - you OWN IT, you don't play the passive-aggressive prima donna role.
