Buffaloians, get your popcorn ready (though I'd suspect you rather have something more greasy, like a kitchen sink full of chicken wings), because Terrell Owens is coming to your Buffalo Bills! Doesn't it make you want to break into a dance to "Lets Go Buffalo!"? Well, I'll admit, I started singing it right after I brought the song up. Damn, catchy song!I'm not going to write a full out post breaking down Owens's career and history, because I'm sure you have been aware of every move made by ESPN's favorite clown since he demanded a trade to Philadelphia five years ago. I would say only Brett Favre has had more time devoted to him on Sportscenter than Owens.
This is clearly Buffalo's attempt to make a splash and make their franchise marketable, but I can't imagine it working on the field. Yes, the team will take in some good money from jersey sales, but I'm sure Owens will be none too thrilled when Randy Moss racks up 150 yards and 3 touchdowns as they get drubbed by the Patriots. How long till Trent Edwards joins Donovan McNabb, Tony Romo, or Jeff Garcia as the next QB torn apart by the cry-baby Owens? Dick Jauron is also clearly on the hot seat. If things go south quickly, Owens won't have a stable coach to keep him in check. I think the Dallas Cowboys were smart to cut him. That team needed some direction and his departure will help immensely.
He is clearly a talented receiver and will help their offense, but he definitely won't deliver a championship. I think it will be very tough to even make the playoffs with Tom Brady back in the division next year. Therefore, I don't think it's worth all the baggage he brings. Buying Terrell Owens seems to me like some old guy (sorry Ralph) buying viagra. Clearly something needs to be sparked in Buffalo, but is it really worth the side-effects? He will help the marketing and promotions departments, but I don't see the Bills improving much on the field. I'm sorry Buffalo, Jaxster, but hey, at least it's a one year deal.

P.S. Did anyone catch snippets from T.O.'s press conference? He better look at a globe, because last I checked, Dallas played in North America too.

Our friendship is over!
Gonna have to find someone else to guess times against for 24, haha
im just kidding, you know. Anyway, I think he said he went from "America's team" to "Northern America's team". Something like that. You know what he's implying because I know you aren't stupid ;). Anyway, if I get time, I'll write a rebutal to this because i honestly think this is going to do some help.
