Terrell Owens had his first workout with his new team and new coach Friday and was happy as can be.
“I’m here with a great coach, a great team, a great owner,” Owens said. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity that I can make to help this team win. That’s why they brought me in here.”
I’ve heard this all before. T.O got run out of San Fran and said the same things his first days with the Eagles. He and Donovan McNabb were supposed to be the dynamic duo Philly had been missing and the combo would lead them to a Super Bowl championship. While they did make it to the big game, the journey was not without controversy and bumps along the road, mostly caused by Owens himself.
He now begins his new journey with Bill Parcells and the Cowboys. It’s still in the honeymoon stage now where everyone is saying the right things. All seems well in Big D. Until, that is, the first moment things go slightly wrong. T.O is putting on a good face now, but what happens if the Cowboys go on a losing streak during the season? Or what if Owens goes a game only catching a few passes? If T.O feels like he’s not getting enough balls thrown his way, you know he’s going to open his mouth and say something. There will be undoubtedly be a point during the season when T.O will be unhappy because that’s the way he is. He’s shown arrogant and selfish behavior everyone he’s been so why think this season will be any different. So the question remains not IF he blows up but WHEN.
