So I was watching his reality show the other day and although I don't usually watch it I tuned in just to see what the guy was up to after the coverage he's been getting trying to get signed by another team.

He was pretty emotional about the whole thing and I actually did feel bad that he's in the postion he's in with not being able to get a team to pick him up.

Anyone else feel the same? Or are you in the boat where because of his attitude problems throughout his career you don't feel bad for him.

I feel sorry for him cause the guy can obvious still play. He didn't cause any real problems in his last stops so I think people need to let go of the whole attitude problems. In Dallas he in reality didn't do anything selfish. He played great for them and the big incident was the taking pills ordeal. Even though it gets made fun of he defended Romo to show he can be a team guy. And unlike randy Moss no one can say T.O takes plays off and he actually blocks and can be a total WR. Showed with the Bengals that he can still play at a high level so he should have a team easy based on that.

I'm just amazed that no one has given him a chance, he was pretty quite in Buffalo. I think a great fight for him would be to go back to San Fran, coach isn't going to take crap from him and he would be great for Smith if he can play at a somewhat high level.

Raiders or Baltimore are the perfect situation for him. Raiders because he could go in and be a number 1 WR once again and play with a QB he is familiar with in Carson Palmer. Palmer got TJ to throw so mine as well give Carson another familiar face to throw to. Baltimore while Torry Smith is alright he just isn't someone I see as a true number 2 WR right now and Lee Evans just can't get healthy. So he'd be the perfect number 2 to go with Boldin and give Flacco another much needed weapon.

The only reason I do feel sorry for TO is because he had a better season than Ocho Cinco last year and he's the one without the job. I'm pretty sure if it was the other way around and Ocho Cinco was without a job and Owens was playing he wouldn't be a third string / non-existent WR.

True T.O has been able to adapt to whatever system he is in so he wouldn't have as much trouble learning the offense like Ocho has because Cincy was all Ocho knew and got to freelance sometimes rather than having to be at a certain spot in the field at a certain time for Brady.

Carson Palmer of Oakland Raisers not looking for Terrell Owens reunion

Carson Palmer and Terrell Owens seemed to click last year while playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, but the now-Raiders quarterback said he isn't looking for a reunion with the receiver in Oakland.

"T.O. and I had a great working relationship. He had one of his most successful years over the past five or six years, a lot of production, and he was a great teammate in Cincinnati. The problem is that for him to get here there's not anybody that we could let go," Palmer said Wednesday in an ...

Read full story
T.O. certainly has something left in the tank and his body of work on the field speaks for itself. Sure, T.O. is talented and a big target, but most most if not all coaches would have to seriously consider introducing such a potential time bomb into their locker room. Like it or not, T.O. has left devastation in his wake for EVERY team he has played for.

Palmer said publicly he didn't want to play with TO again, so he must of done something to piss him off in Cincy.

Allen Wranglers (Indoor Football team) offered Owens a six figure contract, but I feel like that's a step he should consider if he wants to prove himself otherwise to all the NFL owners out there, but I doubt a player like him would settle for less than the spotlight the NFL.

While T.O has gotten wiser as he's gotten older he still got an ego and can't see him wanting to play anywhere else but the NFL. Think he's retire before he went played anywhere else but the NFL and rightfully so because he can still play.

I find it hard to be sympathetic for him, but he is one of my favorite players in the league. I don't necessarily feel sorry for Owens, but I'm definitely on his side, rooting for him.

Guess maybe you saw more being from there but what did he do bad exactly though? Cause as far as I knew he was a non issue.
