Congratulations, Drew Rosenhaus, you backed up your statement saying Terrell Owens would sign with another team shortly, and he did.
The Buffalo Bills now join the list of NFL teams in San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas with the notion that Owens can help them. He probably can help the Bills and will provide a complement to Lee Evans on the other side of the Buffalo offense and create problems for opponent’s defenses. He caught 10 TD passes last year, four less than the entire Bills receiving corps, and he should help their anemic production of 21 points per game.
Now for the good news for the Buffalo fans: Their sports news has taken on a whole new meaning beyond the stories of the game. They will witness first-hand a player they have never seen. They will hear stories from the locker room that will be discussed at the famous Anchor Bar, a local hangout, or Chops, a terrific Italian restaurant that will defy the quiet normally reserved population. They will read about T.O.'s rants and his cheap shots at offensive coordinator Turk Shoenert and young quarterback Trent Edwards. Oh, he'll be a model citizen for the short term as he was in Dallas. And then the proverbial dung will hit the fan. How do I know? Track record, man, track record.
Owens is like the gunslinger in the old west. He has notches on his gun belt of the teams he's blown up, and he's never been at fault, just ask him. He's just a crazy mixed-up kid. Well, now the kid is 35 and this is probably his last stop. The Bills are giving him $6.5 million, coupled with the $12.9 million Jerry Jones gave him last year. Isn't America great? Enjoy it now, T.O., because you need football like an addict needs drugs, because without it you will be irrelevant like Dennis Rodman was after he left the NBA.
The Dallas Cowboys will be a better football team without T.O., while the Buffalo Bills will be a time bomb waiting to go off. Dick Jauron, the fine head coach of the Bills, will be put to the test, a test that will be harder than any Jauron took at Yale.
