Terrell Owens May Be Crazy, Thanks God

Have you ever found yourself standing in the middle of an open field, where there are no hills, no trees, and absolutely nothing obstructing your view for miles upon miles? And have you ever done that while a thunderstorm is brewing off in the distance, as you watch it slowly move in on you? It's pretty cool, actually, and that's sort of what's happening in Dallas right now with Terrell Owens. You know he's going to erupt, and we're just sitting out in the field, watching the storm build in the distance.

One week removed from complaining about how he didn't get the football enough -- despite being targeted on 19 plays -- Owens held court following the Cowboys' 31-22 win over Cincinnati yesterday and, well, the video above explains everything, even if it explains absolutely nothing.

Keep in mind, of course, the guy in that video just played for a winning team, even if he doesn't look or sound like it. He almost sounded like he was ready to cry, or, if nothing else, like his team actually lost.

The official "God" count in the statement, by the way, is five, and my favorite passage just might be, "God used me today for his glory, and reality is where glory resides." That's just ... awesome. Almost poetic.

Having said that, the National Football League may need to take it upon itself to issue a Terrell Owens warning for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Terrell Owens' have the potential to bring showers and can be very damaging to quarterbacks and NFL franchises.

hahaha, this guy is f'n crazy. Im surprised there arent more people talking about this. He's trying to use god to deflect pressure that he created. Since when is he so religious? Since he had a sit down with Romo he is doing gods will. Apparently if you mention god you cant be criticized.

T.O. needs to not take himself so seriously. He his at his best when relaxed (get your popcorn ready) and acting like an entertainer. No one took his 'dumbass' coments last week all that seriously. We know he is emotional, and high strung. So relax Terrell, you play a game, and get paid millions. We appreciate that you are hard working, gifted and entertaining. That is what it is all about. Play the game, come up with wacky celebrations and entertain us, the popcorn is ready .....................are you?

Actually, T.O. has been religious...even after the "accidental overdose", he turned to his hometown pastor for guidance. I think he just got fed up with the media throwing him under the bus for a dumb comment...he didn't punch anyone in the face...so, no big deal!!! He shouldn't be made fun of for professing his faith...in fact, I think it's a great thing!!

Good Lord, enough about Owens. He's got to be doing something right if every team thinks they have to use double coverage on him. That's OK, T.O., they must be worried about you. Keep covering him, Romo can just throw to Witten, Crayton, Austin, whoever. Personally, I think he puts a little entertainment into it. Wasn't the best game, but it's still a win at the end of the season. Go COWBOYS!!

What's the big deal with this story? Suddenly, giving a shoutout to God makes you crazy?

The guy obviously went through a lot of crap this past week. None of us can imagine what it's like to have the entire media making fun of you for something you say (even if it was kinda stupid). So he leaned on God for strength when he felt crushed by the weight. Big deal, he's human...at least he's constantly open and honest to the media, despite the way they've slaughtered him.

THANK YOU!!! You are intelligent...a lot of people lack intelligence when dissecting the character of T.O. He went on to say today that he lost a family member this week too!!! He had a heavy heart...at least he didn't break anyone's nose like Steve Smith...it could have been worse!! Good for him for leaning on God and not drugs, strippers, or alcohol!!!

Owens had a family member pass that week leading to his emotional statements referring to his involvement in the offense. Lay off him, because his abs are greater than anything you'll ever produce, haha.
