So the TO show hits the air this season. I guess technically it hit the air already with his narcissistic TV program, but I'm actually referring to his upcoming season with the Buffalo Bills. I thought this was a great move by Buffalo and a perfect fit for Owens. I'm probably most surprised that TO was willing to go to the Bills than anything else.
That being said, let's examine the facts. Buffalo is a some-what mediocre team in a small market that has been on the verge of being good for a few years now. TO immediately makes the team better and just as immediately makes their market seem larger. Just wait and see how many more fans actually claim the Bills this year. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure the Bills make the playoffs this year. TO is that good.
Of course, I recognize that problem will come somewhere around week 7 or so. Sharing the ball with Lee Evans. Controversy with the QB as usual. But overall they should benefit a great deal this season.
Buyer beware for season 2, however. This is usually when things fall apart with Terrell (see Garcia, McNabb, Romo for details). If the Bills are smart, they'll use TO to increase revenue and possibly make the playoffs this season...and then refuse to continue the relationship thereafter. One thing is for sure, there will be plenty of popcorn in Buffalo this year.
If any of you watch the TO show on VH1, you probably saw the multitude of fans reacting positively to his arrival. Completely warranted. What's not warranted is the show itself. I mean, c'mon, all the guy does is walk around with his shirt off and flirt with women the entire show. Even the serious, "dramatic" moments seem scripted. Is this supposed to repair his image? His body is ripped and he's smooth with the ladies...I get it. He's got to wonder the same thing I'm wondering about his career in Buffalo - will there be a season 2?
