Well, I wasn't really offended all that much by it in the first place, like most Dallas fans were. After holding him to just 5 catches and 50 yards in a 33-10 rout of his former team a month ago, I think the secondary got their revenge.
And if Glenn's having a pretty good season now, I can only dream about the kind of matchups he would be getting in the slot.

DALLAS (Ticker) - Controversial standout wide receiver Terrell Owens has reached an agreement in principle with the Dallas Cowboys, according to a published report.

The Dallas Morning News, citing a pair of unidentified sources, reported Friday that Owens is expected to join the Cowboys with a formal announcement in the next few days.
Owens, 32, played just seven games with the Philadelphia Eagles last season before the club deactivated him for conduct detrimental to the team. In his second year with the team, Owens had publicly criticized numerous members of the organization, including quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Owens was not pleased with his contract and remained a constant source of news even in his inactivity. He and agent Drew Rosenhaus appeared more than once on national television to discuss the conflict with the Eagles.


Despite missing more than half the year, Owens managed 47 catches for 763 yards and six touchdowns.

Undeniably one of the finest talents in the game, Owens has caused controversy on numerous occassions in his 10-year career, the primary reason he will be joining his third team in four seasons.

Notable in his odd actions came against Dallas in 2002, when, after scoring a touchdown for the San Francisco 49ers, he sprinted to midfield and celebrated in the middle of the star at Texas Stadium.

He also has had many signature moments of a positive nature, especially in Super Bowl XXXIX when he returned from a broken leg that robbed him of the final two regular season games and two playoff contests to make nine catches for 122 yards. A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Owens has 716 catches for 10,535 yards in 142 career games with the 49ers and Eagles.

Owens says he’ll be on best behavior with the Cowboys

Jerry Jones was finishing yet another explanation of why he believes Terrell Owens will be on his best behavior with the Dallas Cowboys when his new receiver chimed in. "Jerry, I know what’s expected of me," Owens said. "I won’t let you down." The Cowboys sure hope so, especially because they didn’t get it in writing. The receiver who has proved he can wreak havoc on or off the field signed a three-year, $25 million contract with Dallas yesterday. The deal includes a $5 million bonus and $5 million salary this season but no added penalties should Owens pull any of the stunts that caused so many problems for his two previous teams, the San Francisco 49 ers and the Philadelphia Eagles.
His relationship with the Eagles soured only months after he led them to the Super Bowl, leading to a bitter breakup that ended with his release Tuesday.
"It’s more than his word, it’s about logic," Jones said. "This is an opportunity for him to basically put it all together and come in here and have a very positive experience. . . . Whoever got him after those two experiences was going to get a more knowledgeable and educated player."
After his windfall this season, Owens will get salaries of $8 million in 2007 and $7 million in 2008. It’s more than he would have made under the contract with Philadelphia. Until the Eagles banished him after nine games last season, Owens had at least 75 receptions and 1,100 yards receiving in five straight seasons. The last time a Cowboy hit both figures in one season was Michael Irvin in 1997.

He's on his "best behavior", but as soon as he gets to Dallas, he starts writing raps tearing up his former team, and taking shots at everyone about how he's all rich now and got his money.


Yeah, a mature guy. I'm sure he's had a real re-awakening this off-season.

Read all about it: T.O. writing a book on Eagles

IRVING, Texas — New Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens refused to talk about the turbulence last season in Philadelphia during his introductory news conference Saturday.

He said he wanted to put the past behind him.

Apparently just until July.

According to publisher Simon & Schuster, Owens is writing a book about his two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The book will go on sale in late July.

In the book, tentatively titled Ineligible Receiver: The Real Story of My Journey from the Super Bowl to the Sidelines, Owens is expected to describe his deteriorating relationship with Donovan McNabb and provide a detailed account of his unprecedented arbitration hearing.

" Finally, the real T.O. story can be told. It’s an important chapter in the long-term struggle for players’ rights in the NFL," David Rosenthal, executive vice president and publisher of Simon & Schuster, said in a statement.

"Terrell Owens’ book is one of the most candid ever written about professional football, and perhaps about any professional sport," said senior editor Bob Bender, who will edit the book. "It is an unflinchingly honest account of life in the NFL."

Just in time for training camp.

Want more proof that it will be Owens hype all the time?
In February, he reached an agreement with Banyan Productions to host a reality television series. According to Banyan, the show will combine Owens’ passion for working out with his natural curiosity about other people. Guests on the show will come from the worlds of sports, entertainment and even politics — and no subject will be off-limits.

T.O. tells HBO he's misunderstood; wonders `Why me?'

Associated Press

<!-- begin body-content -->IRVING, Texas - Terrell Owens blames the media for portraying him as a selfish player, although he admits a tendency of saying things about others that he wouldn't want said about himself.
In an interview with Bryant Gumbel airing Tuesday night on HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," Owens acknowledges dishing out more criticism than he's willing to take.
"The only thing I can really think of is maybe it was the way I grew up, you know," he said, according to a transcript released Monday to The Associated Press. "I got picked on so much, and it's like I feel like I'm still constantly being picked on."
Owens said he doesn't think reporters are necessarily conspiring against him as much as using him "to gain viewers' attention." As a result, he believes that he is "misunderstood." He said other players have been, too, "but I feel like I have been one of the main guys who've been vilified."
Why?
"That's the million-dollar question," he said. "Why me? ... At some point it does get to me. And I can't say it enough. Dude, I'm human and that's what I'm trying to get people to understand."
Owens also discussed his spat with quarterback Donovan McNabb that eventually led to his release by the Eagles.
As he wrote in a recently released book, Owens said he believes McNabb was jealous of the attention Owens was receiving in Philadelphia and that things boiled over when McNabb cursed at him in a huddle after a play. Owens said he took it as more than something said in the heat of competition.
"When I tried to address that after the game, he blew me off," Owens said. "So, that let me know it's more than just being competitive. It was more than that."
Owens is scheduled to report to his first training camp with Dallas Cowboys at the end of next week.

Owens sits out practice with injury

Associated Press

<!-- begin body-content -->Wearing a hooded sweat shirt, shorts and a wrap on his left thigh, Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens spent Thursday riding an exercise bike instead of practicing.
Owens tweaked his left hamstring Wednesday and decided to sit out practice as a precaution.
"I wouldn't say I'm injured, just a little sore," Owens said.
He is unsure whether he will be ready to practice Friday, when two workouts are scheduled, or Saturday, when there will be a controlled scrimmage.
"This is my first time ever having to deal with a hamstring, so it's new to me," Owens said. "I never really know what to expect."
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he's not too worried about the injury. For instance, there are no plans yet for Owens to undergo an MRI.
"We thought we'd be better served to let him not push off on it today," Jones said. "We are being sensitive to it and we are watching it. For a guy who is renown for playing hurt, renown for working hard and wanting to be out here, we don't have any concerns."
Owens pedaled slowly on the bike for more than an hour. Trainers also put him on the ground for a sit-up drill and another with a medicine ball, then got him on the field for various leg lifts and some movements against a resistance band.
Between drills, he had a seemingly lighthearted talk with Jones for several minutes, with Jones pointing to his own hamstring at one point. They shook hands and Jones tapped a punch on Owens' shoulder as they parted.
This was the team's ninth practice, and the last few didn't go so well for the offense. Owens and quarterback Drew Bledsoe had trouble connecting, prompting several one-on-one chats between them and between Owens and coach Bill Parcells.
Owens wrapped the interview by responding to Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, who said Wednesday that he made a mistake by bringing Owens to Philadelphia.
"It doesn't matter," Owens said. "I'm not an Eagle anymore, I'm here as a Cowboy. They're worried about me over there at the wrong time. I'm happy here."
