Terrell Owens Is A Seahawk, Not Yet A Full-Time Children’s Book Author

The T.O. Show ain’t over yet folks (not that VH1 program, that thing is definitely over). The curtain rises on the next act of Terrell Owens’ career in the Pacific Northwest, where the six-time Pro Bowler/one-time popcorn eater/two-time guy who stands on a star has passed a physical and signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks.

Let’s go over a quick scouting report of the NFL’s second highest all-time leading receiver. He is 38 years old. He tore his ACL 16 months ago. He was cut by the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League. He hasn’t played an NFL game since 2010. He allegedly ran a 4.45 40-yard dash Monday.

So it’s been quite a winding career path for T.O. over the last two years, which begs the question: What should we make of his return to the NFL? I’m gonna go out on a limb and say not much, because nothing spells prosperity for Terrell Owens like going to a team balls-deep in quarterback controversy, with three mediocre/unproven guys vying for the starting spot. Seriously, at this point Matt Flynn, Tarvaris Jackson and Russell Wilson are just auditioning to be the guy who gets chastised for not getting T.O. the ball enough.

Still, Terrell always knows how to entertain an audience. As long as he’s not on your team, sit back and bask in his inevitable resurgence to the national spotlight. And if you’re a Seahawks fan, well, sorry.
