T.O. passes on radio interviews. - The Orange Mane

HEAV · 02-15-2006, 11:17 AM

Terrell Owens, the controversial soon to be former Eagles receiver, turned down an interview with Ben Maller during half-time of last night's Clippers-Rockets game.

Maller approached Owens as he stood in the Staples Center tunnel near the Rockets bench and introduced himself. Big Ben said "I want to thank you, as a sports talk show host, for providing me with months worth of quality radio material." Terrell smiled, shook Ben's hand, and said, "Sure no problem."

Ben asked Owens to appear as a guest on "The Drive on Fox Sports Radio," heard coast-to-coast with himself and Fox Sports TV and radio star Chris Myers. Owens said he liked Myers' work but couldn't do any interviews. Maller asked again, sarcastically kidding Owens that he would toss nothing but softball questions his way. Owens then started to get upset saying I already said NO!

Terrell then offered his publicist's number to which Maller said thanks but no thanks, knowing that was a complete waste of time. Owens was soon escorted by an NBA security official back into the Rockets locker room area.

T.O. had seats that were ten rows back and was spotted sneaking down to seats closer to the court. He spent Valentines night with three of his buddies and no women around watching hoops.

A Staples Center mole says Owens will be in Los Angeles until Thursday. He has turned down every interview request this week, including Patrick O'Neal on the FSN Lakers broadcast Monday.

Naturally. Owens can't help but say something stupid when there's a microphone in his face. He knows that if he pops off and says the wrong thing before he suckers a team into signing him, he can kiss any chance of playing in the NFL next year goodbye. He may be a jackass but he's not a complete fool.

He's just misunderstood.

(See, I could be an agent too)

HEAV · 02-15-2006, 11:53 AM

My thinking also. T.O. is on lockdown by his agent,the shark, and is following the game plan.

I hope if he becomes a bronco, that his contract is a incentive laden deal. One that pays and punish him for his actions along with his performance on and off the field.

Good idea by TO, just be quiet and let your talent level woo teams.

And as soon as you ink a contract, go back to being the same assbag you've always been.

i just have a feeling on TO. Those otehr guys i knew were bad seeds. I wished they worked out, but i wasnt banking on it.

Hogan11 · 02-15-2006, 02:15 PM

No interviews from TO eh? Good, I'm not interested in anything that self-serving buffoon has to say anyways.

I don't want TO, but it is different situation than those guys. IHOP was coming off a great year in washington with no controversy, Carter was a drug case (Nothing like TO), MoC is a walking mistake and hasn't proven anything (where TO has only proven himself as one of the best recievers in the game)

All this may be true but when we drafted Moc there were a lot of Apologists claiming that Shanny could handle Moc and mold him back to a great RB. A lot of the song and dance i heard about Mo is the same stuff im hearing about TO.

He's the closest problem child they've delt with, but he still doesn't have the upside that TO has. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather see TO go to miami or dallas. TO is all business when it comes to playing ball, MoC couldn't even get that far. It's actually an insult to TO to be mentioned in the same breath.

KipCorrington25 · 02-15-2006, 03:00 PM

That's good, the less I have to hear from and about that jack-an-apes, the better.

I suppose in a perfect world it would be great if TO could keep his trap shut and just play ball but that is wishful thinking.

Let me preface my post by saying that I think T.O. is a gamble we don't need to take....

That said, it's a bit different than the Clarett situation. Clarett never proved he could do a thing at the NFL level. Shanahan picked him, basically with a 4th round pick... knowing that it was a longshot.

Owens has proven that he's got the goods, football-wise. He's a known commodity on the field. Off the field, it's been mostly trouble... but only so much as in what he says to the media. He hasn't had any legal trouble, another thing that separates him from many of the risk-type signings.

Those in favor could point to the Courtney Brown and Gerrard Warren types. Those against could point to Dale Carter/Pankcake boy. But, I don't really think Clarett is an appropriate analogy.

As far as Owens turning down interviews, it's a positive sign. Does it mean he's changed? Probably not... and what happens after he signs a deal? Does his ban on interviews lift? But, if you want to grade it positive or negative... you'd have to say that him not running his mouth to the media about things right now falls into the positive category. Does it mean he's a safe signing? Of course not. Is it perhaps the first step towards the guy calming down and playing football for a team like he's capable? It's possible... not likely, but possible.

Oh yeah, that's a dream situation, with a likely rude awakening.

Well, to clarify what i was getting at is it wasnt about how their talent level was as it was how Bronco fans reacted to said players. I knew Moc wouldnt work out but there were a lot of people who said he would flourish here. Does that really mean anything? no. But i do find a correlation to how people think that Shanny will take in a problem player and turn him around. Warren and Co. are only guilty of not playing well in Cleveland or just not being motivated to play there. Carter, IHOP, Moc and Owens, all these guys have a habit of having major off the field problems and that was really the point i was trying to drive home.

Warren had some scrapes with the law and major character questions.

Well, he didn't imply his QB was gay and the other was out of shape at the Super Bowl like some people I know.

Oh he's playing somewhere. That is a given. Now if you're referring to money that is why he's keeping his mouth shut.

good apple /bad apple?

my soccer team took a chance with a bad boy called bellamy who was renowned for being a trouble maker in the dressing room and a real bad guy,our fans were split down the middle same as to as to wether to sign him or not and our manager said he would handle him and he just scored two more for us tonight and the boo boys are now hero worshipping.

what im trying to say is let the chance be took and the dice rolled and see what happens.
