T.O. has been released from the Allen Wranglers... www.goifl.com/news/news-archive/64-allen-wranglers/827-wranglers-release-terrell-owensna na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey....good bye.. smart move by slappyB actually, you've got a tough row to hoe to get a 2 seed, which means you have a single game at home the rest of the season, AND he no-showed at a recent team function at a children's hospital (stay classy TO) ... cut the guy before your roster freezes for the season on Thursday and play with a full 25 man roster.

on a completely unrelated, yet humorous note... after the above video played for me.. one of the suggested videos has a watermark of christian-dogma.com on it...
other than that I have nothing further to add :-P

Jim Rome was running down TO pretty hard in the Jungle this afternoon.
The Wranglers (and the IFL) are getting the publicity they wanted.

I havent really commented on the TO thing yet, other than some one on the IFl post of the story said he should go to SF and play. I said thanks but no thanks. I guess when you are a small indoor football league any publicity is good publicity cause it gets your name out there but is this really what the IFL wanted? Bring in a polarizing figure that has been kicked out of everywhere he's ever been, has to go on Dr Phil and get confronted by his baby mama's and then gets dropped from one of your mediocre teams. Im not a successful businessman, or PR guy or anything like that but how does any of that work in the favor of the league?

You said the often quoted words yourself, "Any publicity is good publicity" if you can capitalize on it (just ask Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian).

I think its good pub for the league, but as far as TO goes, that's the difference between TO and Fred Jackson.
98% of us don't have the talent that TO has, but 99.999999% of us wouldn't squander the chances that he has had. Then you look at Fred Jackson.

BTW how many people even knew there was any indoor/arena leagues lower than AFL until TO signed with the Wranglers? (As I spit on the floor lumping indoor with arena)
Also, unfortunately, how many know now? Too bad Brett Favre didn't play for the Express this year.

Hmmm, I wonder if the unnamed coach in this article is the same unnamed coach that notified the police that Omaha Beef owner Sprowls' was receiving cocaine rocks through the mail? I don't blame him for wanting it off the record, since you don't want your name associated with either news item. www.tmz.com/2012/05/31/terrell-owens-coach-wranglers-contract-money/

The same thing happended last year with Jim Smith. The league was pushing Allen (Jim) to be something their are not. Jim was a good guy put in a bad situation he had the team put up in some over price apartment, he didn't went the coach and he wanted more local players. The league wanted to make Allen out to be the Dallas Cowboys and no team can fit that bill. The closeest team to do that was the Dallas Desperados and that's because Jerry owned them.

"The coach says Wranglers owner John Frankel was embarrassed about signing Terrell to an expensive contract he couldn't afford."
That is probably the most accurate assessment.
They didn't want TO for his play-making ability. They wanted him for his name recognition to sell tickets. I am curious to know what his "ownership" stake is now and what he plans to do with it.
