The Devil Gets His Due. Or, Terrell Owens Gets Paid.

Like our apologies, our popcorn is ready.Terrell Owens, gulp, team leader?

Despite his flabbergasting drops and simmering potential for volatile locker-room destruction, T.O. has proven he deserves his new four-year, $34 million contract. And you know what else? He deserves our apologies.

I’ll start with mine.

Back in March 2006, I wrote that it was a nauseating and nincompoop move signing Owens. During training camp ’06 I said it was just a matter of time until he blew up and, possibly, blew up the team. About a month later I was proven right when he had the accidental overdose, followed by sleeping in team meetings, verbal jousts with receivers coach Todd Haley, etc.

But then something happened. Bill Parcells left town, the new coach learned Terrell’s name and – presto! – Kum Ba Yah, m’Lord.

This contract proceeding was the latest, greatest(?) sign that Terrell’s maturity is slowly but surely taking the personality reigns from T.O.'s mischievousness. Most of his infamous incidents have been about getting the ball and/or money. In Dallas, he’s receiving both.

It’s still difficult for a lot of us to consider T.O. as “ours”, but we long ago diluted our memories of him desecrating Texas Stadium’s star enough to cheer our ***** off for him. And no doubt he’s re-established himself as one of the NFL’s elite receivers the last two years. Yes, he’s among the league leaders in drops, but he’s also caught 166 balls for an NFL-best 28 touchdowns.

His reward? Instead of $7 million this year, he’ll rake in almost $14 million. No wonder he’s been so choir boyish this off-season.

T.O. is still 34 going on 19. Still inconsistent. Still loves him some him. But, bottom line, he’s been better than I ever imagined – on and off the field. – Richie Whitt

I used to get annoyed watching him, but now I just laugh at him.

:laugh2:

I don't watch him

Skippy called the Goodell's reinstatement of Pacman is utterly unacceptable. Pacman should have never be reintstated, he has not changed. Jerry having Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders mentor him is a jike. At the minimum, he did concede that Pacman needed to miss at miminum, the first 4 games of the 2008 season.

Skippy also has focused his criticism on his favorite target, Terrell Owens, whom he calls "Team Obliterator." Jerry is crazy for signing T.O. for 4 more years of just to apease T.O.'s ego.

This guy is so useless, why even talk about him...pay no attention and he will go away

When I first heard the stuff he said a few years ago, I got mad too. Ive since realized its more or less a character. Does he hate the Cowboys, Im sure, but he definitely plays it up a lot for publicity. Hes now known as the guy who can find something wrong with everything

Gimme the keys.
