When he rose to become one of the NFL's top wide receivers, fans became turned off by Terrell Owens. Owens came off as very cocky with his statements and his actions on the field. All of this came to a tipping point when the Philadelphia Eagles were forced to decide between Owens or superstar quarterback, Donovan McNabb.

McNabb ended up remaining in Philadelphia, while Owens was dealt to the Dallas Cowboys. The media expected the Cowboys to return to prominence behind Owens. Quickly, he formed a nice duo with quarterback Tony Romo. The only problem was the team failed to win in the regular season, barely making the playoffs.

Following three unsuccessful playoff showings, Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, informed Terrell Owens his services were no longer needed. An aging free agent, most teams passed on Owens, but the Buffalo Bills gave him a chance, signing him to a one-year deal. This deal is what served as the launch for his "The T.O. Show."

Through "The T.O. Show," fans had the opportunity to see the other side of Terrell Owens. Despite his persona, Terrell Owens was actually a very humble man. The show gave people the chance to see Owens interact with his family and friends. It was then when it became obvious why Terrell Owens is the way he is, given his father issues. In the second season, Terrell Owens took on his committment issues head first and proposed to Kari, despite an obvious attraction to Kita Williams.

With last season ending on a cliffhanger, VH1 renewed "The T.O. Show" for a third season. The new season of "The T.O. Show" will begin airing this summer.

Terrell Owens is done in Buffalo

Last year around this time, the Dallas Cowboys told their star wide receiver, Terrell Owens that they were not going to re-sign him. The news hurt Owens, but he was ready to move on with his career. The team expected much more from Terrell Owens when they had signed him in 2006. Media, fans, and critics expected the Cowboys to become contenders for a Super Bowl, but instead, they only became worse as a team.

The Buffalo Bills offered a one-year contract to Terrell Owens. With that last chance, Owens planned to surprise everyone. Not much was expected out of the new-look Bills. But, when they took the field, they dominated the New England Patriots for most of the game. Some were convinced that the team may be contenders after all, but after they lost that game and posted a horrible record, no one gave the Bills a chance.

There were some bright spots for Terrell Owens during the 2009 season, but for the most part, he began to show his age. At 36-years-old, Owens is just a bit too old to be chasing a football up and down the field. Recently, the Buffalo Bills broke to Owens the same news that the Dallas Cowboys had just one year before. Now, Terrell Owens is one of the many free agents during this offseason in the NFL. Chad Ochocinco, of the Cincinatti Bengals, wants T.O. to join him so that they can creat a wide receiver duo. While on ESPN, Ochocinco said that if Owens was on their team that they would immediately become Super Bowl contenders.
