That is a site of fake stories similar to The Onion.

He came out and said he'd play for the Bears if they asked him and that he was still better than most NFL WRs.

I actually do remember that......it was just that post on Daily Leak that had me scratching my head.

Owens had 72 receptions for 923 yds his last season with the Bengals, does anyone know why he fall out of favor with the league?

Really?

 

[Tenkamenin]

Really?

Yes really, I did not read or hear a negative report about the guy in Cinci. 9 TDs and 983 yds is not shabby at all.

 

[Blackspider214]

Really?

Yes enlighten us. NFL has already proved they will put up with you if you can produce.

Cincy was 2010. That was 4 years ago and he is now 41. No one wanted to sign him in 2011 so why would anyone be interested in that prima donna now?

he signed with the 'hawks and got cut...no one else is gonna want him if he couldnt out-do golden tate

He tore his ACL the last season he played. Major knee injuries and advanced age will keep most teams uninterested.

That wasn't my question or the guy you quoted. Why was he ran out of the league the year after he put up big numbers? My question was not why was he not signed this year.

As long as you admit it had to do with talent and nothing else, then we are on the same page. Otherwise, you are kidding yourself. The whole TO stuff is so overblown. Every big WR is a prima donna. He was nothing special. And he produced everywhere he went.

Owens had surgery in June of 2011 on his knee. That injury guaranteed he would/could not play in 2011 whether a team wanted to sign him or not.

The whole TO stuff is not overblown. If teams consistently let a player go, then that is not overblown. It doesn't matter how the media covers him. Watch how teams actually deal with the player. That is a better indication of how that player is a distraction and a headache. You have to be kidding yourself to believe otherwise.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. TO's talent was questionable after his injury and probably wouldn't be starting quality any more. Now you are loking at him as a WR3 at best and then add in some of the off the field crap he would bring and it's easy to see why his career ended then. So I guess we half way agree.

Because he likes to play racial politics in the lockerroom. He had Barber and Crayton going along with his notion that Romo, Garrett, and Witten were conspiring against them.

What about the rest of the Black players like Demarcus Ware? What you're saying doesn't make sense since that team was 80+% Black, but you're probably just trolling.

Nonetheless I didn't realize he had an injury in his last season in the league.

What about them? Did they confront Garrett and backbite about it?

According to multiple sources within the Dallas Cowboys, there is an emerging internal conflict involving three of the team's highest-profile stars.

As the preseason Super Bowl favorites struggle in the final month of the season to simply make the playoffs, wide receiver Terrell Owens has expressed resentment toward Tony Romo, apparently jealous of the quarterback's relationship with tight end Jason Witten. Owens thinks Romo and Witten -- close friends and road roommates who came to Dallas in the same offseason -- hold private meetings and create plays without including Owens, according to a source who speaks regularly with Owens' teammates. Owens believes these discussions have worked to his detriment and Romo seeks to deliver the ball to Witten regardless of whether Owens is open.
"I don't know anything about that," Wade Phillips said when asked about a possible rift at his news conference on Thursday.

"We've thrown for a lot of yards with a lot of players. One receiver is pretty close to 1,000 yards. ... There's no favoritism there, we are going to the guy that is going to be open."
In a story that was first reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill, Cowboys wide receivers Owens, Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton requested and were granted a meeting with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to express their concern Romo was relying too heavily on Witten.

Owens declined to discuss the situation on Thursday outside the Cowboys' locker room. As he walked toward the players' lounge at Valley Ranch, ESPN asked Owens if he would answer questions and he said, "Nope.''

Which feeds to:

Now, back to the Rams and where T.O. flexed his influence. During the search process, columnists and writers for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch started revealing flaws in Garrett's résumé — basically, that he's a very young coach who hasn't won a playoff game. But when the subject came to players, it was voiced that Garrett had a difficult time coaching black players. That is such a ridiculous assertion, but it gained so much steam in St. Louis that the fans accepted it as fact. On the day that Garrett thought he had a shot at becoming the head coach, the final paragraph in a Post-Dispatch news story was that hundreds of fans called the team's ticket office to complain about a Garrett hiring.

Within hours of those words hitting the newsstands, Garrett and his wife were boarding a plane for Dallas and the Rams started negotiating with current head coach Steve Spagnuolo. Somewhere in the background, T.O. had to be snickering. Mission accomplished.

He has interjected race into other issues. For example:
