Terrell Owens

[Mizzougrad96]

I talked to Owens extensively once when he was in Philly. I was talking to him about another player who he's close with and he was outstanding. To be fair, sometimes it's easier when you come in from out of town and you're not the beat writer who has had to report every time he does or says something stupid.

i covered T.O. when he was with the Eagles in 2004 and 2005

great quote

he talked after most games (until things began falling apart in 2005) and i think every Wednesday in an interview room

he never developed a relationship with any of the writers in philly

guys tried to talk to him informally early on, but he wasn't interested

most of the time he was in the lounge (closed to media) playing dominoes with greg lewis and lito and whoever

the rare moments he was at his locker during an open locker room period, he had his ipod headphones on and was unapproachable.

but when he talked, he was very very good
