Is Terrell Owens trying to be the first NFL player to play for every team in the League?
I kinda stopped following what T.O. does after the Eagles dumped his ass for being a cry-baby whiner. I remember when he went to Dallas and we pretty much stomped the Cowboys when we played them during the TO year. I remember reading something where he was in Buffalo a year too.

So I'm reading the Enquirer.com (Cincinnati's hometown paper) because yes, I am a Cincinnati Reds fan (and absolutely torn - I do like the Phillies since they are the local team but my heart will always be true to the Reds) and I see something in the sports section about T.O.

He's a Bengal now?

Geez, how many more teams will he play with. Do you think he can play with all 30 teams. Perhaps he can do a year or so with the Canadian Football League (Toronto Argonauts are the Cowboys of the North). I heard Australia rules football, perhaps TO can play a year with one of their teams.

What a joke. Owens is a talented player and if he'd just shut his mouth and play he'd probably be destined for the Football Hall of Fame. He's career is nothing but a joke.

1. I have no doubt he'll be in the Hall Of Fame.
First ballot.

Can't stand the guy, by the way.

3. No way he can make Hall of Fame. He has no consistency
sure he's a talented player but he has no real legacy behind his name. And people won't forget the tantrums he tossed throughout his career.

Only Hall of Fame Owens will see is the cry-baby hall of fame.

2. The Year Of TO in Philly was the year we went to the Super Bowl...
He is a remarkable player, and he easily could have been a record setting, beloved hall of fame player....but he ain't, and he ain't ever going to be. It is a shame, really, but it is his "style" or whatever to be abraisive, yet to be so good that teams want to try to reform him for his ability.

He is still amazing, and I think he will continue to travel around the league for a few more years barring injury.
I hope he has a few bucks put away, though...I'd hate to see him as a sports caster.

4. The Chunky Soup curse
http://www.chunkysoupcurse.com/?nav=articles&category=single&id=9


The Chunky Soup Curse is the belief that every NFL player who endorses Campbell's Chunky Soup will suffer a rash of carrer- or even life-threatening injuries, failure on the field, humiliation and ultimately defeat.

Strangely, the curse does not directly stand in the way of success. It just mangles you, and eventually the mangling causes failures.

For example: Kurt Warner went to a second Super Bowl after being cursed. He just also mangled his hand the next season and had seven turnovers in a single game because of the hand. And he eventually ended up with the Arizona Cardinals.

5. Playing for the Arizona Cardinals is a curse of it's own
:rofl:

6. OMG that is the funniest site about the curse. I loved what they said about McNabb
Donovan McNabb went to the Super Bowl and nearly defeated the quasi-evil New England Patriots. But, during the whole game he was sick as hell. Plus, he had to play with Terrell Owens, voted People magazine's "Ugliest Asshole of 2004".
