Like it or not Terrell Owens has become one of the most news worthy sports figures in recent history. Everywhere T.O. goes the media circus follows. It goes without saying that Owens has no one to blame for this but himself, yet he'll still blames others. Always the victim according to his agent Drew Rosenhouse. Always has an excuse for his antics and from time to time will issue a half hearted apology. His lastest lame excuse for missing team activities was "I over slept". Owens was fined $9,500.00 by the Dallas Cowboys. That's chump change for T.O. and will not prevent him from "over sleeping" in the future. With the kind of money that Terrell is making you would think he could afford a state of the art alarm clock.
Owens has burned many bridges over the years with the Forty-Niners, Ravens, Eagles, and now the Cowboys for reasons that have been well documented. The reasons as to why T.O. is such a prima donna and a cancer to every team he plays on varies. Some say it was a bad childhood which has led to trust issues. Do you really buy that? I don't. It seems that he trusts his agent Drew Rosenhouse a whole lot and that may be the problem. Rosenhouse has backed T.O. on every instance of misconduct. A good agent at some point would sit their client down and say "Listen, your messing up here. Do you want to continue making tons of money or not". If Owens does not make it with the Cowboys I doubt he'll ever get another shot in the NFL.
Is T.O.'s hamstring really bothering him this year or is he just sandbagging? In my opinion Owens must feel that training camp is a waste of time and all he needs to do is show up on Sundays and all will be forgiven. Problem is that he is getting paid to be a year round NFL player and that includes Training Camp, Mini Camps, and playing with minor aches and pains. I hope Bill Parcells stays true to his word and does not play Owens if he does not practice.
Terrell Owens is a skilled Wide Receiver. No one argues that. To this point in his career he has remained off police blotters and in todays NFL that's admirable. But, the word TEAM is not in his vocabulary and that's a shame. What a tremendous waste of talent.
