After all the talk the last week or so about the Ravens getting T.O., I couldn't help but be a little envious that they landed him for little of nothing.....then Terrell Owens had to open his mouth and start complaining even before he's played a game for them.
In case some of you missed ESPN Sportscenter last night, he was doing a live interview and all but said that he is not happy being a Raven and would have prefered to play for the Eagles - who he thought the 49ers were working a trade with.
I never have had very much respect for him, resulting from the various incidents that he has pulled throughout the years - Sharpie celebration, standing on the Cowboys' star at midfield, etc... Nothing major I guess really, but placing himself above his team in a league built around the TEAM concept seems to come very easy for him...and he shrugs it off like he's owed something because of his accomplishments.
I'm not sure how Ravens' fans or anyone else views his latest comments, but I wouldn't want him on my team - regardless of what he can do on the field. Who knows how all this will turn out, maybe he'll end up being an Eagle when everything is said and done...but yet again TO has put himself ahead of his potential teammates and has yet to even put on the purple and black colors.
I'm curious as to how the Ravens' diehard fans feel about this latest incident - are you happy to have a guy that really doesn't want to play for your team?
