I'd cry too if i hooked up with my sister...
After reading that Terrell Owens is near a deal with the Buffalo Bills, i had the following text exchange with a buddy of mine who is a life long Bills fan:
Me: Hahaha you got T.O. !
Bills Fan: WTF? really???
Me: Yup, apparently 1 year deal, don’t know the financials
Bills Fan: My dad is distraught
Me: I’d be too!! Poor Edwards
(I have since learned that it is a for one year and worth$6.5M.)
The combination of strength, speed and selfishness, T.O. is the modern day complete package for NFL wide receivers. OR shall i say, “was”. His 10 dropped passes last year was second in the league to nub hands Braylon Edwards. T.O. has never had great hands, but once he does get the ball in his possession, he is one of the most explosive players in the NFL, even at the tender age of 35.
Owens bromance with superstar agent and d-bag extraordinaire Drew Rosenhaus has made for the perfect union. This power couple has taken the NFL by storm, getting money where ever they can, and leaving teams in the wake of their destructive force. T.O. has been on three teams in the NFL (49ers, Eagles, Cowboys) and each of those teams has been left in shambles like the aftermath of a tornado. The Buffalo Bills will soon be the 4th team left in rubble.
If Terrell was in high school he would be in the Plastics clique (yeah, i threw out a Mean Girls movie reference. Its an underrated and hysterical movie, don’t judge until you’ve seen it…) He has to be the popular kid, that everyone looks up to, needs all the attention and constantly back-stabs and talks shit about everyone else around him to make him feel better about himself. I cannot understand why any team in the NFL would want to take him on. In a game of wins and losses, Super Bowls and playoff wins the only thing that matters to T.O. is T.O. No one wins but him.

Say what you want about the man, his history and his age. The guy can still play. And by commanding double-coverage, he makes the other WR’s better (ex. Donte Stallworth, post-T.O., and remember all the hype about Terry Glenn being “back” when he last played with T.O.?).
T.O. caught only 7 fewer TDs in the past three years than the entire Bills squad (38-45). I know ESPN threw out the T.O. caught more TDs than the Bills WRs in the past three years, but this is more telling. They theoretically nearly doubled their receiving scoring with a single acquisition.
Here’s the more important number. Wins. T.O. wins games. The last time the Bills won more games than T.O.’s team, 2000. In fact, in that stretch, from 2001-2008, T.O.’s teams have won 79 games, while the Bills have won 52.
He may be getting old, he may be a head case. But he wins games. For the Bills sake, I hope they cut him loose after his one-year contract is over.

TO wins games = FALSE.
In Dallas, the Cowboys had not won a recent Playoff game before TO came and they didn’t win when he got there.
In Philly, the Eagles went to 4 straight NFC Championship games, with TO they went to the Super Bowl and lost. However, TO didn’t even play in the NFC Championship game.
In San Fran, they were 4-5 in the playoffs only making to the 2nd round 4 times but losing each time. 2 years before TO came to San Fran, they won the SB.

Still waiting to learn how T.O. doesn’t win games. No one claimed he wins Lombardi trophies. But all those playoff appearances you cited all point to one thing. T.O. wins games. Cause you don’t get to the playoffs by losing. And that’s something the bills have had troubles with lately, getting to the playoffs and not losing.
So now we will see if T.O. can still battle age and his body and continue to win games and as you pointed out, get his teams to the playoffs.

players don’t win games, teams and coaches win games. TO destroys team chemistry. I can’t believe you are defending this tool.

Not defending T.O. he’s a walking land mine. Anyone who steps on him loses a leg, if they’re lucky. I’m only stating that the numbers are in his favor. Whether it’s because of him or in spite of him, his teams win games. Period. Indisputable fact. He’s still a tool though.
