Owens' no-show not a big deal
I like crushing Terrell Owens as much as the next reporter. And I still can't get worked up about him missing the first day of Buffalo's offseason conditioning program.
You can criticize Owens for many things, but his workout routine is not one of them. When he shows up in Buffalo, it's a safe bet he'll be wearing a full body spandex outfit to show off how hard he's been working.
I hesitated to even mention this story, but it's amazingly near the top of the news stacks on other websites. If nothing else, that shows the primacy of the NFL in today's sports landscape. A guy lifting weights on his own is worth headlines.
The workouts, of course, are voluntary. That's why many veterans on every team, like Tom Brady last year in New England, often come and go during the conditioning program.
Let's wait until Owens actually steps on the field for the Bills before we bury him this time.

guess you had to find something to say.... Please, give the guy a darn BREAK!!!
It's amazing the double standards that exist in sports journalism. When T.O. was still on the Cowboys, practically every sports writer in the country was pointing fingers at the Cowboys and criticizing the organization for not coming down on T.O. for not being at the Cowboys off-season program. Now that he is with the Bills, it's no big deal. Why do the sports journalists hold the Cowboys to a different standard than every other team? If this was the Patriots, all the journalists would be fawning over Bill Belechick and calling him a "genius" for handling T.O. in such a great way.
Well it already has started in Buffalo as it has everywhere else he's been. So no big surprise.
Would you rather be in Buffalo or Dallas in March?
Give him a break!
Why is this even a story?
It's an OPTIONAL camp, usually meant for guys who are rookies or are trying to secure a place on the roster.
T.O. will be in great shape for the season.
If you "reporters" spent half as much time reporting on any other player as you do on T.O. I'm sure the general public would be dumb enough to hate that player too.
