Terrell Owens has Twitter war with Dallas TV anchor

in General NFL News, Misc.

Prior to Drew Rosenhaus breaking the news that the unthinkable has happened — a team is (supposedly) ‘very interested‘ in his most publicized client — Terrell Owens once again demonstrated why many NFL organizations will continue to shy away from signing him.

While watching the Dolphins-Cowboys Thanksgiving matchup, Owens tweeted some of his thoughts about the game. Specifically, Brandon Marshall, and his impressive 35-yard touchdown reception over Cowboys cornerback Terrence Newman.

If you don’t recall, Newman was literally dragging Marshall to the ground before the ball arrived, drawing an obvious pass interference penalty. It didn’t matter as Marshall ended up snagging the score anyway.

Owens was thoroughly impressed.

“Great concentration & TD by B Marshall w/Newman as a superman cape!! Lol,” he tweeted.

Although relatively harmless, that comment incensed Dallas TV sports anchor Newy Scruggs, who fired back, thus beginning a Turkey Day Twitter war that T.O. wasn’t about to lose.

“@terrellowens (non NFL player) has jokes about @terencenewman1 (NFL guy with money) for getting beat on a TD by Brandon Marshall. Petty TO,” said Scruggs.

“it wasn’t a diss @ T-new, it ws my observation like my observation that u’re FAT & need 2 hit the treadmill ASAP!!” Owens responded.

Yep, there’s the T.O. we all know and love.

Oh, it wasn’t over then, either. Nothing ever ends that easy with the 38-year-old free agent. The two continued a brief back and forth exchange, which went as such.

“So thankful my fat butt has a job, can pay for my kids, and isn’t on TV CRYING about being broke,” tweeted Scrubbs. “I’ll get on a treadmill when you pay your child support. #deadbeat. I’m going to bed. When I get up, I’ll have a job, unlike you. Let’s get back it if you are still alive.” lol

“Never believe everything u read n the media! I pay my child support, if u Dn’t hv accurate info u need 2 chill! and I’ll b a deadbeat & u’ll still b “fatmeat!” lmao,” Owens retaliated.

Certainly an interesting couple of minutes in the Twit-verse, and more damning proof that points to Owens remaining unemployed.

Did Owens write that?

It sounds like his responses are from a 15 year old.


Also, what team would be interested in him? Or is this a last ditch effort by Drew to drum up interest?

TO without a job probably still has more money than Scruggs.

And technically he still has a job because there is a 3rd season off his TO show.

That's not a job. That's getting revenue from a past job. Right now he does nothing.

He still has to perform a task and gets a paycheck so yeah it is a job.

The fact still remanis that some 3rd rate sports announcer should not be calling out TO for his lack of a "job" he is a mid 30 year old wide receiver coming off of knee surgery its not shameful that he does not have a job in football.

He comes off as petty and juvenile and thats hard to do going against TO.lol

It's not the knee injury. It's mostly his track record that's the reason he's out of work and he should be ashamed.

Yeah having knee surgery over the summer really has no bearing at all or the fact that he is closer to 40 than 30.

People have been saying this about his track record for how many years but this is his 1st without a team, go figure.

He's a great athlete and could help many teams out. It's his reputation for being a cancer that's keeping everyone away. His career has taken a downward slide since he left Dallas. We didn't want him. Buffalo didn't want him. Cincinatti didn't want him. Now no one wants him. The knee injury definitely hurt things, but it's not the main reason.

Personally, I think they both came off as asshats. Scruggs shouldn't have even responded to his Newman comment, and then to get into an immature tweeter war. Lame, I would be embarrassed if I were either of them.
