Terrell Owens does it again

[D-3 Fan]

T.O. will never reach another super bowl.

he didn't reach the last one, his teammates did

Owens has played in five postseason games since 1999 and his team has won one (39-38 over the Giants in 2002)

that's one postseason victory in the last seven years.

It's interesting to point that out. If we look at the # of games he has played over the last five years, he has suffered an injury in nearly each of those five years (not including last season). Is he a freak of nature? Yes. Is he "really" the best player on the field? Personally, I don't know. He hasn't stayed healthy enough to make me say yes.

Tuna is probably in the coaches' meeting telling his staff "I told that dumbass (Jones) that I wasn't in favor of bringing this tool in. Let him deal with it. If he doesn't practice, the ****er won't suit up and play. It's simple as that."

He's actually only played in four. And he had nine catches for 177 yards and two TDs in one (against the Giants) and nine catches for 122 yards in another (the Super Bowl).

And why would you discount his playoff appearances before 1999?

The guy's a douche and I'm not trying to defend his attitude or actions, but you're being awfully selective.

I wouldn't build my team around the guy. I wouldn't want him on it at all if I had to put up with all his shenanigans. But if I needed a wide receiver to help me win a playoff game, I'd have to take him.

T.O. can be a "gun for hire," so to speak. What other players (from any sport) could be considered as a "hired gun/mercenary/one stop gap" for a quick fix for a team?
