      T.O. to have his own reality show

      May 13, 2009 /

      Terrell Owens is going to have his own VH1 reality show where cameras will follow him around as he goes through his first minicamp with the Bills.

      VH-1 confirmed Tuesday that filming of the Buffalo portion of T.O.’s television reality show will begin Sunday, a day before the Bills open minicamp. The footage is being gathered for a series that follows the day-to-day life of the high-profile star receiver. It is scheduled to premier on the cable network in late July.

      Owens reached the deal with VH-1 in January while still a member of the Dallas Cowboys. Producers had to scramble to change plans after Owens was released by the Cowboys on March 5, and then signed with the Bills two days later.

      Filming of the series coincidentally began the week Owens was released by the Cowboys, and is scheduled to run through June.

      I’ve fought admitting this over the past couple weeks following the draft, but we’ve officially reached the dead time in the NFL – or as I like to call it: “Hell.” When you’re down to writing about T.O.’s reality show, it’s time to crawl into a hole for a couple months until training camp starts.

      God I miss football…I miss its laugh, its warm embrace, and I miss the way it made me feel in the morning.

      17 Intriguing Matchups on the 2009 NFL Schedule

      April 15, 2009 /

      The NFL released the 2009 NFL Schedule today, so I’ll do what the 4,000 other websites do and list some of the more juicier matchups of the year. (Although in the sake of being at least a little creative, I’ll list one interesting matchup for each of the 17 weeks on the schedule.)

      Before we get to the matchups though, let me state for the record that it’s a complete farce that the Cowboys get six nationally televised games next year despite not making the playoffs last season. I guess “America’s Team” opening a brand new stadium is worth major national exposure…six times a year.

      Week 1: Bears at Packers, 8:20PM ET
      Jay Cutler’s first game in a Bears uniform will be at Lambeau against the rival Packers on Sunday Night Football. How much will John Madden overplay the, “The Bears finally have a quarterback” angle after every pass Cutler completes?

      Week 2: Giants at Cowboys, 8:20PM ET
      One of the ‘Boys six nationally televised games, Dallas will open up their new stadium against division rival New York on Sunday Night Football. How much will John Madden overplay the, “Tony Romo and Wade Phillips must win now because Jerry Jones built this brand new stadium and he wants a contender” angle?

      Week 3: Falcons at Patriots, 1:00PM ET
      The over/under on the number of times Matt Ryan is compared to Tom Brady in this game has officially been set at 800,994,990.

      Week 4: Chargers at Steelers, 8:20PM ET
      AFC Divisional Round rematch in Pittsburgh – let’s see if the Chargers can hold onto the ball for more than 17 seconds in the third quarter unlike the last time these two teams met.

      Week 5: Patriots at Broncos, 4:15PM ET
      If Bill Belichick shakes Josh McDaniels’ hand at midfield after this game, I’m calling shenanigans on the behalf of Eric Mangini.

      Week 6: Bears at Falcons, 8:20PM ET
      Here’s hoping the Bears’ secondary figured out that they have to cover the out pattern when that’s the only route Matt Ryan can look for when there’s 11 seconds on the clock and he needs to get his team into field goal range.

      T.O.: ‘Jerry Jones went back on his commitment’

      March 30, 2009 /

      Terrell Owens is stating that Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones backed out of a commitment he made to keep the receiver in Dallas.

      Terrell Owens“You hear all the speculation, and you talk to the owner of the team, and he reassures you, you’re not going anywhere and then, out of left-field … you get blindsided,” Owens, 35, said in an interview with Rogers Sportsnet, to be broadcast tomorrow evening.

      “I know whole-heartedly he [Jerry Jones] wanted me there,” Owens said. “There were some people I know who got in his ear that pressured him to make that decision. For that, it’s sad. You let two or three people conspire to get me out of the situation.”

      T.O. might have a toxic personality and can be the ultimate pain in the ass, but he’s not stupid. I believe Owens when he says Jones backed out of a commitment to keep him a Cowboy and no doubt had pressure from others inside the organization to release him. In some ways, the release of Owens was a surprise considering one week prior, Jones was essentially telling the media that T.O. wasn’t going anywhere. So quite frankly, I don’t blame Owens for feeling blindsided by the whole ordeal, even though everyone knew that his release this offseason was always a possibility.

      Owens skips Bills’ first voluntary workout

      March 24, 2009 /

      Terrell Owens was not in attendance for the beginning of the Bills’ offseason workouts, which took place Monday morning.

      Terrell OwensOwens’ absence was not a big concern for Bills strength and conditioning coach John Allaire.

      Stressing that the program is voluntary, Allaire said he was already impressed with the shape Owens was in when the two met shortly before the player signed with the Bills on March 7.

      “He’s a physical specimen,” Allaire said. “He has a very good history of being in shape, ready to go. We’re not anticipating anything different this year.”

      Having reviewed Owens’ workout program, Allaire said the two are “on the same page” and there isn’t much he needs to address.

      Allaire would only say, “we’ll see,” when asked whether he expects Owens to take part in the 12-week conditioning program.

      This situation shouldn’t be made into a big deal. As Allaire points out, T.O. is always in phenomenal shape. If this were a player that had previous weight and conditioning issues, then it would be a big deal. But Owens has never showed up to training camp out of shape and I don’t think he’ll do it this year.

      But if you want to play devil’s advocate, then yeah, it would have been nice for Owens to show up on his first day and meet his new teammates. We don’t know what other obligations he had, but if they were minor, would it have killed him to show up on the first day and show a little good faith to the team that took a chance on him?

      Update: Apparently Owens was absent because he is in D.C. receiving an award for raising awareness about Alzheimer’s Disease. Well done T.O., well done.

      Marshawn Lynch to be suspended 1-2 games

      March 17, 2009 /

      CBSSports.com is reporting that Bills’ running back Marshawn Lynch is expected to be suspended one to two games next season.

      Marshawn LynchLynch earlier this month pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge stemming from a Feb. 11 arrest in Culver City, Calif. According to the police report, Lynch was one of three men seated in a parked Mercedes Benz when he was questioned.

      At the time, he was charged with possession of a concealed firearm. But the felony gun charge later was reduced to three misdemeanors — with two of them dropped. Lynch was sentenced to three years of probation and 80 hours of community service.

      He also agreed to submit to police searches at any time.

      Now that he’s a Bill, maybe T.O. could help this kid get his life on track…

      …wait, what happened? I blacked out for a second.
