T.O. Runnin' on Empty

What would you do if you threw a party and no one showed up? Well that's what apparently happened at a local high school just outside of Los Angeles this morning. Terrel Owens, The Sultan of Smug and the King of Me and I showed up at Calabas High School for a workout with the express intent of showing NFL scouts what his 37-year old body had left six months after ACL surgery to repair his ruptured knee.  The only problem was that no one cared enough to show up. From what I understand, his agent Drew Rosenhaus put the whole thing together but aside from a handful of curious media (and some Arena football players who participated with Owens in some passing drills), there were no NFL representatives at the gathering. Hmm. Does anyone see the irony?

Quite frankly, after years of acting like a pompous jerk it finally looks like his little show may finally be over. Yeah, I know. There might still be some teams out there who may be interested a little later down the road. But who? A team with rancid receivers maybe? With Sidney Rice seeing double coverage every week and no quarterback to speak of, I guess the Seattle Seahawks might fit the bill. But then, they would some how have to work their way into playoff contention for it to worth taking a flyer on him. I just don't see that happening.
