T.O. Moving In?


10/25/11...This is the day that six-time NFL Pro Bowler Terrell Owens held a work out with the hopes of getting attention from an NFL team.

"I only need one team," Owens said in an interview with NFL Network, "I only need one chance"

Unfortunately for Mr. Owens, not one NFL team seemed to care that he was back on the market. Imagine that...after all the years of being a problem for every team he has ever played for, FINALLY, teams decide to stop paying attention to his antics.

I personally think it is great that he is getting exactly what he deserves after all these years of being an idiotic puppet being controlled by his agent Drew Rosenhaus who is as big of an idiot as his client.

Don't worry people, you may still have a reason to get your popcorn ready. Something that I did not expect to see come out of this work out was actually exactly what happened. While no NFL teams seemed interested enough to even send a scout, the Chicago Rush of the Arena Football League seem very interested in adding T.O. to their already very good receiving group.

Interesting? I would say so. The AFL might actually be the perfect place for T.O. even if Rosenhaus disagrees. Rosenhaus told the media that the offer was "absurd" and that "Terrell will of course only be playing in the NFL."

Well Drew, it seems that nobody in the NFL is willing to take a chance on T.O. anymore so you better take your head out of your ass and start thinking about other chances. The pay may not be as good by a long shot, but it is a chance for him to continue playing football. Who knows, maybe a season playing in the AFL (if he can stay healthy and produce) would create enough buzz to get him back into the NFL next season.

Other reasons that the AFL would be a good fit for Owens include the fact that he can actually be himself. He will get far more passes thrown his way and have more chances to score on the smaller field. Not only that, but when he does score he can actually dance and have fun and be his normal jerky self in the end zone. Leaving the "No Fun League" and coming to the "All Fun League" could be the perfect thing for his personality.

It might hurt his enormous ego at first that he is playing in the AFL instead of the NFL, but a lot of players have done that and have had extremely successful AFL careers. Owens' style of play is actually perfect for the indoor game. Once he gets the ball in his hands over and over again and becomes one of the main guys in the league, he will probably get over the fact that it isn't the NFL because once again, he will have fans fawning over him. In the end, that is all he really needs is attention because without it he would wither and die.

So in the end, while I do think T.O. is a huge jackass who tends to bring bad luck to every team he plays for, I do think that he could make a large and immediate impact on the Arena League. Not only statistically, but think of the attention his name would bring to the league. Can you say fan increase? I say for once, ignore Rosenhaus and do something right for you T.O. Don't be a puppet for your entire life and do this thing.

As always, thanks for reading...and remember
