There is no denying that Terrell Owens has been a big mouth media whore throughout his career, and this off season just might be the worst seen in recent NFL history. His antics this off season are a result of him wanting to hold out and redo a contract that just one year ago he signed. Despite the $49 million dollar payday that he agreed to, he just needs to have more. However, the money is besides the point.

Fast forward to August 10. Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid sent Owens home after finally getting fed up with the big distraction he was causing. It also did not help that he missed five of the six practices during the time leading up to his mini vacation. Owens left and then insisted that he was going to the Bahamas.

During the next seven days, Owens, the sports media and Eagles personnel each expressed their opinions. The majority of people believed that Owens played his last game for the Philadelphia Eagles and that he will leave somehow. Another option would be for Eagles management to give into the "instigator’s "demands," redo his contract and pay him his market value. The most likely scenario, however, will be that Owens will return to the Eagles without a new deal and accept his fate.

The very simple reason why Owens will fall in line (as well as you can expect from T.O.) and make nice with the Eagle faithful is because his ego will get the best of him. Allow me to explain...

All the media hearsay is all well and good, but how many people will actually get to hear or see Owens' antics -- several million? The big stage for him is not all this off field ruckus, but on the football field. And, three games in particular – the first three of the regular season -- will show us Terrell Owens at his best... or worst.

Week One: A road game versus the Atlanta Falcons. This should make you think "rematch of the NFC Championship game" at first glimpse... until you find out that the game is on MONDAY NIGHT! Owens will definitely do something outrageous for us all, as it is the biggest stage for football for a regular season game. Remember folks, we are talking about the man who hid a Sharpie marker in his sock anticipating a TD grab in a lesser game, and well, you all know the rest.

Week Two: The home opener ... against Owen's former team, the San Francisco 49ers. Ah, the team from which all the clowning originated from. Don't you think the great T.O. wants to show his former team "who can make a play?" Besides, he feels that being in San Francisco stunted him from becoming a great receiver. Of course when you stir up a QB controversy, it doesn't exactly help team unity and personal development. Neither does calling out a particular quarterback and hinting of him being a homosexual (watch out Donovan McNabb... who knows what Owens might say about you this week).

Week Three: An interconference match up with the Oakland Raiders, which features the only other receiver that is in Owen's league (allegedly) – the other "model citizen," Randy Moss. This game might be the most intriguing of them all. You might have "Mr. Sharpie" trading on field antics with "the Moon Man." Is it even imaginable that this game will be the craziest of them all (Warren Sapp is the dark horse to do something bizarre)?

Bottom line: Owens might be annoying to put up with and his antics might be getting old, but he will not pass up a chance to show the entire world his crazy antics. Tens of thousands in stadiums and the millions of TV viewers may be in store for some antics at an unheard of level.

I believe this and this alone would be worthy of the NFL Sunday Ticket.
