Getcha Buffalo Wings and Sauce Ready, Same Old Show…Bills Nothing to Lose

We should all take Saturday's signing of Terrell Owens to Buffalo as a sign of hope! For any out there who find themselves currently unemployed hell if this cocksucker can land on his feet once again, (as we all knew he would) with the baggage he carries... well, anybody can! We all knew somebody would take a flying leap over the edge for Owens, just we didn't know Ralph Wilson would jump over the Niagara Falls and infest his franchise with cancer. We thought that would fall on the shoulders of Al Davis and the Raiders. Not since peanut butter and jelly did we think that there was a more perfect match than this. Dysfunctional meets Mr. Cancer Clusterfukc. Sounds like a hell of a movie title for Hollywood to be played out in Buffalo, what? Buffalo? Did anybody see this coming?
What was more surprising, that Dallas cleansing themselves of this type of cancer late Thursday night or that of all teams, the Bills infested themselves with it?
Aside from the Raiders picking up this form of colon cancer, I felt the only teams to be in the running for Mr. "I'm going to blow your locker room all up" would be the Colts, seemingly after they just released Marvin Harrison and the Patriots. Simply from the standpoint of "they don't need him", but if it works... I mean, my God! And the one thing about Bill Belichick, he doesn't give a fuck who you are! It's his way or nothing! But Dick Jauron, this still has me scratching my nuts. Nothing against Jauron who's respected league-wide and universally liked by virtually everyone that has ever played for him, but... and that "but" says it all. He might be "well-respected league-wide", but the only thing Mr. Popcorn Man respects is himself. Jauron isn't notorious for winning, and it's no big secret that if this ass hole isn't winning, he’s simply not happy. Hell, even if he’s winning he’s still not happy, so where’s the logic here?
Why is Owens in Buffalo besides no other franchise wanted to touch him with a 10-foot pole? Well one, the argument can be made that the Buffalo Bills are the east-coast version of the Oakland Raiders in a sense. Nobody really pays attention to them. Hell, they even have to play their games in Toronto to receive any pub. So we all know that's going to change with Owens in the mix both on, but more so off the field. For a franchise that hasn't mattered since the Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas days, I guess one can actually see some logical explanation behind this. Simply given the fact that there's not much to loose with the turnover ratio with players and coaches alike being more than ones local McDonald's! We know from Ralph Wilson's deliberations on whether or not to bring Jauron back or not for another year. He seemingly has one foot out the door already. Old Dick knows it’s essentially his last season in "The Lo", so why not go out with a bang? Why not swing for the fences and try to create some buzz? Why not man up and put your grapes on the table and make a bold move? You have absolutely nothing to loose with a one year contract!
It's not like they've mattered any since Super Bowl 28. T.O. gives Buffalo relevance once again. Also bringing them an excellent, (depending on your definition of the word) receiving duo with Lee Evans, (which was something well needed from that standpoint) and if you combine that with running back Marshawn Lynch you have an excellent skill position unit, provided quarterback Trent Edwards continues to grow. Oops, silly me... that might be a slight issue. How's T.O. going to deal with Trent Edwards? As he's only entering his second full year as a starter. Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb, and Tony Romo have all had dicey, (understatement) relationships with Owens. Edwards isn't nearly as accomplished as any of those players and the Bills' offense has been abysmal in recent years. Not too mention the fact that the Bills have really had jugernaught in the past decade or so, which one can argue his three prior teams all had better offenses. You hear that time bomb ticking already?
"I am really excited about the addition of Terrell Owens to our team," Edwards said. "We spoke earlier and both look forward to working hard this offseason. We share the common goal of winning football games. His ability and experience will add to our offense and the weapons we already have." Yeah, and lets see if this love fest lasts as long as MTV's Newlyweds. What's the over/under... anybody have those odds? Of course I know that’s very inconsiderate to suggest that Owens may be a tad bit selfish and everything else that comes to mind. For the simple fact is very well known that he’s misunderstood and has been throughout his career. Although Owens isn't worried about his perceived selfishness in Dallas. "That's all hearsay," Owens said. "If you look at all the comments coming from my teammates with the Cowboys the last three years, it's all been positive. Prior to that, I really don't want to get into it." Is that all hearsay too, or you just can’t remember?
I think Lee Evans summed it up the best with, "'Wow!' was my first reaction,". Yes Lee, I think we felt the "Wow!" Hope you enjoy and all of Buffalo enjoy. There's a new brand of hot sauce in the city just waiting to explode. So get your wings ready!
