Terrell Owens thinks he sat in the back of the bus

There is absolutely nothing legitimate about his case. San Francisco owned his rights, traded them to Baltimore and now Baltimore owns his rights.

Horse shit. This was no ordinary mistake otherwise there wouldn't be so many players miss the deadline.

but you just said it, it was a mistake....guess what, adults should be held accountable for their mistakes.

I only heard of two players missing the deadline, TO and dennis northcutt of cleveland so I honestly don't know where anyone is getting this idea that tons of players weren't able to void their contract in time.

TO's agent screwed up plain and simple and the players association is even going to admit that in the hearing over the contract so this whole commotion is all for nothing. and referencing his situation to that of what Rosa Parks is idiotic. Yeah fighting to get paid a 10 or so million dollar bonus equals fighting for one's civil equality. Each time this guy opens his mouth he seems to get dumber and more arrogant but yet people still defend him, what's up with that?

and I like the reference to the "leon" character from the commercial but I think its the other way around and Leon looks like TO. I mean these commercials weren't made until he started saying stuff about his team last year.

I don't know what the heck I was thinking slightly hoping for the skins to try and get him. sometimes the talent just isn't worth the headaches and trouble.

In all fairness, T.O. isn't really comparing himself to Rosa Parks, at least not in the quote I read. Sounds more like he's just paying homage to her, using her as a source of inspiration. But the bottom line is his agent dropped the ball and I'd fire him in a heartbeat if I were T.O., who also has to take a large share of the responsibility for the situation he's in. Why are people always so reluctant to do that? I think it's admirable to stand up and admit a mistake, be accountable rather than just bitch and moan and blame others. That's so weak.

We're talking about a man's career. Do you want to stay in a dead end job because your agent (yeah, pretend) screwed up some paper work? I don't think so.

I don't recall Rosa Parks earning millions to play a game. This is as insulting as Sapp's 'slave' jibe last year. Absolute dog shit.

Although I do agree a mistake was made TO is being an asshole about it.

Playing for the Ravens instead of the Eagles is a dead end job?
