Beerball Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Link Here's his full answer to the no huddle question: Q: Do you like the no-huddle approach?TO: No, not really. But I got to deal with it. [Laughs] No, it’s all right. It just gets you a little winded. For myself, I haven’t really practiced much the last few pre-season games so I’m still trying to get myself into shape and that’s coming around. We’re doing some things in the offense that will help me get in shape a little bit faster than I need to, especially with the upcoming Monday night game. You know, that’s part of our offense and we’re looking forward to it. I’ve gotten a taste of it since the OTA’s and I know what to expect. That’s sometimes a plus for the offense especially if we can kind of wear guys down and keep them on the field and don’t allow them to make substitutions, but you know, it’s something we’re looking forward to and we’re going to try it out.
FightClub Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks, and WOW. That's unbelievably inaccurate reporting by ESPN, not that it should surprise me.
The_Philster Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks, and WOW. That's unbelievably inaccurate reporting by ESPN, not that it should surprise me. TO's reaction to their reporting http://twitter.com/terrellowens/status/3872347688
Kiwi Bills fan Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 It's amazing what get's passed on as "professional reporting". From football to WMD's... it's whatever sells the most.
TDO'Kearney Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks, and WOW. That's unbelievably inaccurate reporting by ESPN, not that it should surprise me. That Wawrow character that was on this board for a while really spun it as though T.O. didn't say "No, it's alright." right after that and as if T.O. left you wondering what he meant by that or whether he was joking. If that's the kind of reporting he's doing, I'm not sorry he had his little temper tantrum and left the board.

I decide to go to work one day and I miss all the good stuff....

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Sports "journalist" is one of the biggest joke professions there is. Absolutely no accountability.
Lori Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Sports "journalist" is one of the biggest joke professions there is. Absolutely no accountability. Tell my editor that.
Steely Dan Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Looks pretty balanced to me. Owens also poked fun at the Patriots, after being asked whether he had anything special prepared for the game. "I might bring my spy camera," Owens said. That comment makes his signing all worth it to me!!
Delete This Account Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 To be fair, my initial (and brief) story did question Owens' initial comment, while noting he did express concern of being winded and referred to the offense as being "all right." Other media had already reported the comment well before I went to the wire. Upon listening to the actual audio of the conference call, it was still unclear as to whether he was joking or not. He laughed, but there was a pause. There was enough doubt there that it became evident to question Owens' intent. After he posted on Twitter, it became clear he was joking. Though why he started his answer the way he did -- and in these turbulent and sensitive times in regards to the offense -- is open for debate. jw
Mr. WEO Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Does anyone really believe that the slowno huddle offense is "winding" TO? Come on!! He gave an honest answer--he doesn't like the no huddle, his attempts to modify that response notwithstanding.
ThereIsNoDog Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Actually, how he truly feels about it is revealed by what he said in his clarification, after laughing at his initial response, i.e. "it's all right." He neither loves it nor hates it. But he'll still go 110% and produce in it.

Metal Man Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Unfortunately, no matter what TO says or what he really meant, anything that comes out of his mouth is going to be spun and used by ESPN and the rest to make it look like he is being his bad old self if they can get away with it. This shouldn't surprise anyone because it is part of the cost of bringing him in. It is just something we will have to deal with all season.
Delete This Account Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 The interviewer disagrees with your conclusion. I did not interview him. I listened to the audio of the conference call he made to Patriots' media. jw

Steely Dan Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 As soon as I read the article I knew he was kidding. How anyone could take that seriously is beyond me. It's the whole "TO is going to start a controversy" mentality. JMO
