Local TV sports announced that Terrell Owens will NOT be making the trip to face the Danger on June 2, citing "other engagements" as the reason. HUH? Must have a a birthday party for one of the kids or something equally pressing. Reportedly, the Danger agreed to 1st Class airfare and accommodations, but no paycheck. Two local businesses supposedly offered to host/pay him for autograph signings as well.

I don't understand how Allen can compete in the playoffs where they could conceivably wind up with a 3 or 4 seed and have to go on the road (including 2 of three on the road to end the season) Would seem to me they're extremely handicapped with a 24 man roster.

Good riddance to T.O. The guy doesnt want to be there and he has become more of a distraction than a benefit.

I don't feel that he has made a game deciding difference on the field in the games he's played this year. He provided an initial attendance boost in Allen, but that has evidently worn off. His game in New Mexico early in the season was a sellout as well. I can't imagine the Wrangles made money off him though, not with what they're paying him. The league let it happen for the publicity and they did get that. Was it worth it for all parties?, hard to say, but so far I'd say no.

I thought it would be a shock to see him in GI. BananaCat you hit it on the head when saying he isn't a difference on the field. The Wanglers have been shacky here of late but they have much better talent at the WR spot then TO for the indoor game. It is just getting them all on the same page again.

Does anyone expect to see him back on the Allen roster next year?

no, and he's been released according to a "press release" quoted by Roch Roste on the Kurtiss Riggs Show.. and he has forfeited his ownership shares...
I think we all (or at least i did) saw this coming

I wonder if he already got his half a mil? I'm betting he did, which is why he probably didn't show up for a lot of stuff.
