TO in the B-Lo.

A potential circus is coming to town, but the Bills may finally make good use of this T.O. I'm not talking about time-outs, which coaches wasted multiple times last season... but the enigmatic, mercurial, volatile and unpredictable Terrell Owens. First impression is that he makes the offense particularly better; he had more yards and TDs last season than all other receivers not named Lee Evans. Second impression is that the Bills have nothing to lose, season ticket renewals/sales were starting off slowly, and a significant splash was necessary (this dwarfs the Drew Bledsoe splash from 2002). Finally, I'm glad to see local media writers, including the typically critical Jerry Sullivan, embrace the selection, even if national media coverage is more negative of the signing and the expected effect on the team next season. Local media members are smart (even if not intentional) to paint a welcoming story, particularly when TO seemed luke warm on the city... "This may not be probably the most ideal place for a lot of people... but I beat to my own beat." Then he turned things around well, stating... "the Bills made some eyes open... these guys have all those pieces... in Trent I see tremendous upside... Buffalo, last season, they gave themself a buzz."

I know I'm looking forward even more to my 3rd season as a season ticket holder. Hopefully the team can begin and sustain success like last year's 5-1 start through the entire season, and we'll use this T.O. frequently and to our advantage.

As an update, looks like a certain Fuhrer wasn't too happy about the T.O. signing.
