I have come up with a very interesting question for the great Armchair GM commuinity. Who is the worse person, Barry Bonds or Terrell Owens? And who would you rather have on your team. I Find it interesting that Owens never gets talked about in the steroid conversation, because it seems no one cares about steroids in football. When guys from the Panthers get suspended for steroids no one gives it any thought. That would be all over the news if it were in baseball. Its obviously because people care about the records in baseball. Anyways let's take a quick look at who would be a worse guy to have on the team.
After doing an interview with Owens, I found that he gives a great interview and isn't actually such a horrbile person. I saw a great comment earlier that Eagles fans would have booed him no matter what. Eagles fans booed when the Eagles took Donovan McNabb over Ricky Williams in the draft. Nice call there Eagle fans. In general Eagle fans are just mad because they never win anything, so they decide to boo. So don't blame Owens for being unpopular with the fans in Philly. And yes I do realize that being a supporter of TO is going to get me a lot of negative comments but who cares. Even DeMarcus Ware says that TO is a great guy in the locker room. Straight from a players mouth! As long as you don't piss him off your ok.
As for Bonds, he is a different story. Bonds is a guy who has lied to a grand jury about his steroid use, whether it has been proven or not. Now since, I was so nice to TO I will not be to harsh on Bonds. Point is both guys are going to end up ruining your locker room. So then it comes down to who will produce on the field. TO is still producing as one of the best recievers in football. However Bonds has become a very average hitter It looks as if he will hit around 20 home runs this season with an average well below .300.
The reason I ask this question about TO or Bonds is because it will be relevant fairly soon. Bonds is a free agent at the end of this season, and TO will likely be looking for a new team sometime in the near future. I think it would be just plain silly to think that Bonds will get anywhere near the amount of money he is making now. And who would want him on their team for any amount of money? TO is in a much better situation because he still produces at a reasonable price salary wise. But Bonds is way overpaid, plays only half of the time, and doesn't produce like a 20 million dollar man. So my question to readers is where will TO be in a year, and where will Bonds be in a year. And how much will Bonds next contract be worth?
