You Go T.O.! Owens shines in debut

Terrell Owens, now 38-years-old,
still has the body of a 21-year-old .

Why so many people still ‘hate’ on enigmatic wide receiver Terrell Owens is beyond me, but I choose to give the still-talented former NFL wideout the benefit of the doubt after being almost four years removed from his latest ‘team-dividing’ act of selfishness.

Despite being 38-years-old, Owens, performed very well for Buffalo and Cincinnati in his final two NFL seasons before sitting out this past one in a league-wide blackballing, I’ve gone on record numerous times to say that Owens, who still has the body of a 21-year-old, is a guy that looks like he could easily contribute to some NFL team’s aerial success in 2012, as a No. 2 wideout  and hell, a No. 1 for some teams (hello, Chicago, Washington, Carolina, Tampa Bay, Miami, Buffalo, Cleveland, Jacksonville and Kansas City).

Owens resumed his professional career after a year-long absence by suiting up for the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League, a team he actually has an ownership interest in.

Owens generally looked like his old dominating self in catching three passes for 53 yards – and three touchdowns..

While it would seem that playing well for the Wranglers is a near-must if Owens is going to have any chance at getting back in the NFL, I don’t think it really matters very much, simply because everyone knows Owens still has ‘game’.

Nevertheless, it should be interesting to see if any NFL team is going to wise up and do the right thing and give the often mercurial wideout the  chance he so deserves at this late juncture of what his numbers say is a Hall of Fame career.

What are your thoughts on T.O.? Do you think he deserves another shot in the NFL or not? Sound off in the comments section, get your vote on … and have a great, sports-filled day!
