Following their latest spat, Terrell Owens has no desire to hash things out with former Philadelphia Eagles teammate Donovan McNabb.

The Hall of Fame wide receiver spoke about his "deteriorated" relationship with McNabb in an interview with NBC Sports Philadelphia's John Clark on Tuesday.

"I'm just trying to have fun with the situation. I think everybody is aware of how ... I wouldn't say toxic, our relationship is, but at this point, it is what it is," Owens said. "I really considered him a friend, a teammate at one point in time. Over the years, I think the relationship has deteriorated to the point to where right now, I just don't care anymore.

"I've tried to be the bigger person in a situation but then, recent events, he came out and did an interview and started bringing up and rehashing certain things. In the back of my mind, I'm like, 'This is what he really kind of thought about me the whole entire time.' Now I'm like, 'The hell with it.' I'm just gonna go with whatever flows at this point."

Clark then suggested the pair get on a Zoom call to bury the hatchet, to which Owens responded, "Absolutely not."

In January, McNabb brought up Owen's 2005 contract dispute with the Eagles in an episode of "Untold Stories" with Bleacher Report's Master Tesfatsion, saying the situation was a "major distraction" for the rest of the team following a trip to the Super Bowl. That led to Owens taking several shots at McNabb on Twitter.
