T.O. to Buffalo! Could be interesting.

What? Yeah right!

That was my initial reaction when the news broke that Terrell Owens was going to the Buffalo Bills. A lot of people thought Drew Rosenhaus was crazy last week when he said there were multiple teams interested in his mercurial client, but it looks like Rosenhaus and Owens are having the last laugh. Again.

That said, allow me to channel my inner Rosenhaus and answer your "Next Question".

Why would T.O. go to Buffalo? (The wings of course!) In all seriousness, the Bills were probably the best looking fringe team who was willing to take a chance on T.O. Early speculation had the Raiders being one of the possible landing spots for T.O. Get real! T.O. might have been desperate to find another place to play, but even he is savvy enough to realize the Raiders will forever be stuck in football purgatory as long as Al Davis is calling the shots. A return to San Francisco was also being floated around after 49ers GM Scot McCloughan used the phrase, "We don't close any doors." when asked about the possible return of Owens to the other side of the Bay. As much as I think Owens liked living in San Francisco, he probably took one look at the 49ers quarterback situation and said, "Hell No!"

The bottom line for Owens is this one year deal was probably the best he could get after getting cut by an owner who loved him despite his glaring issues. Unless he was willing to catch passes from an ultra young JaMarcus Russell in Oakland or play second fiddle to Frank Gore in San Francisco, Buffalo was his best bet.

"Next Question"

Why would the Bills sign a player who is everything they aren't? (Flashy, outspoken and camera hungry) Desperate times call for desperate measures and the Buffalo Bills definitely qualify as desperate. Can you remember the last time they were in the playoffs? Does the term "Music City Miracle" ring a bell?

At a frisky 90 years of age, Bills Owner Ralph Wilson Jr. has said on many occasions, "I ain't getting any younger." That alone should tell you how hungry he is to get his franchise back to some resemblance of the glory years they had in the previous decade. Does he think they should be challenging for a Super Bowl right now? Probably not. The Patriots aside though, I imagine he sees no reason why his team hasn't made the playoffs since the end of the last millennium.

T.O. for all of his faults, is still a very productive player. I know some of the fans in Western New York are a little shocked at why their beloved owner made this move, but they've got to be happy about getting some help in the passing game for up and coming quarterback Trent Edwards and speed merchant Lee Evans. At the worst, he'll give an added boost to tickets sales and provide some relief for the soon to be suspended Marshawn Lynch and the Bills running game.

Even though Wilson is 90, he proved he's still got it by signing Owens to a one year deal. Yes, Owens does have a history of tearing apart teams and lockerooms, but if you're Wilson and you've decided to get in bed with the devil, the least you can do is sleep with a fire proof blanket.

"Next Question"

How will T.O.'s one year in Buffalo end? Nobody knows the answer to that question. He could catch 70 passes for more than 1,000 yards with double digit touchdowns. He could go into a tirade on the sideline after Trent Edwards throws an interception against the complex defenses of Rex Ryan and Bill Belichick in the 4th quarter. He could turn into a great teammate and help a young core of offensive players get to the next level. He could see the mild mannered and church mouse quiet Dick Juron as an easy mark to pull the same things he pulled in his previous stops.

Whatever happens, one thing is for sure.

T.O. in Buffalo could be very interesting.
