I was reading this off nfl.com and thought it was hilarious.
"SAVE THIS QUOTE WHEN YOU NEED A GOOD LAUGH A YEAR FROM NOW:
"If it would work anywhere, I think it would work here because of the guys in the locker room. Guys would keep him straight. I think he'd conform. He'd fit in here."
-- Broncos center Tom Nalen on Terrell Owens
Yeah, and I'm just the guy to get Paris Hilton to settle down and start a family.
http://images.nfl.com/images/features/owens_020106.jpgOkay, let's review: T.O. played with Jeff Garcia back when he was an All-Pro … and threw him under a bus. T.O. played with Donovan McNabb when he was an All-Pro and a Super Bowl starter … and threw him under a bus.
How long until he throws Jake Plummer into a wood chipper?
Don't get me wrong, Owens is tempting -- hey, I drafted him in fantasy football because he puts up monster numbers -- as long as he isn't on double secret probation like some naughty kid at boarding school … but there's a big difference: As a fantasy football owner, I don't have to talk to him.
I don't have to change his diapers. I don't have to fork over a seven-figure bonus only to watch his narcissism turn my clubhouse into a bad episode of Jerry Springer, with my make-or-break free agent playing the role of the psychotic pre-op transsexual stripper off his/her meds.
In the mercurial world of T.O., all it takes is one game for things to go south. I'm talking a rough Sunday, or even worse, a primetime game when the guy tossing him the rock plays like "The old Jake Plummer." How long until this diva wide receiver will accuse Plummer of frolicking with barnyard animals?
Maybe the Broncos can harness T.O. with enough incentive-based clauses to milk one, sane year out him and separate from the AFC elite. But Year 2 is shakier than K-Fed's "musical" career.
In the meantime, I don't sign Owens unless he agrees to a Paxil clause and three specials with Dr. Phil …
P.S.: If the Bills can't fit Eric Moulds under the cap, I think I just made Mike Shanahan's job a lot easier. I know he's not T.O. anymore, but he's a pro, he can catch the ball when it's snowing, and Moulds, Rod Smith and Ashley Lelie? Close enough for rock and roll, sans the tabloid stuff. "

So where do people think this guy will actually end up?
I've read things about MN going after him and Shaun Alexander, The Raiders looking to add to Moss with TO, the Bucs looking to pick him up to be the top WR, and also rumars about the Lions going after him thinking he could help their very young but very talented WR core.
