Although I am a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, I don’t have a problem with Terrell Owens signing with my natural enemy, the Dallas Cowboys. After sharing the same city with him for two years, speaking with countless players, and listening to numerous beat writers, I’m convinced that T.O. is the most selfish and divisive player in the league. Consequently, I’m excited that he will be Jerry Jones’ problem for the next year or two.

I got beef with T.O. for another reason.

Terrell Owens provided us with yet another “embarrasing nigga moment” when he released his new rap song on his website www.terrellowens.com. Clearly T.O. has no sense of history. Doesn’t he remember the ‘85 Bears’ awful “SuperBowl Shuffle”? Or the Philadelphia Eagles’ heartfelt but equally tragic “Bring it Home for Jerome?” Beyond football, Roy Jones, Kobe Bryant, Deion Sanders, Chris Webber, Allen Iverson, to name a few, have all flopped behind the mic. In fact, Shaq (aka Shaq-Fu) is arguably the best to ever do it and he’s far from capable. What would motivate otherwise brilliant people to make fools of themselves? Ego? Attention? Boredom? My guess is all of the above.

What’s particularly troublesome about T.O. for me is that I think he was right about deserving more money from the Eagles. In fact, I wrote and spoke publicly in support of his struggle. Still, he undermines his credibility by acting like an ass every chance he gets.

And for those who think that T.O. is merely pursuing his musical passions, I leave you with a brief excerpt from his song:

And to the hater who said I wouldn’t get my money

I’m laughin’ in ya face haha that’s funny

The prosecution rests.
