IFL team releases Terrell Owens

[polamalubeast]

Terrell Owens' tenure in the Indoor Football League came to an unceremonious end Tuesday when the Allen Wranglers released the controversial former NFL receiver.

Owens signed with the Wranglers in February, receiving a six-figure salary and an ownership stake in the franchise located about 30 minutes north of Dallas. Owner Jon Frankel said that Owens' ownership stake has been terminated because he violated his contract.

Frankel cited Owens' refusal to play in two upcoming road games that are critical to the Wranglers' playoff hopes and Owens' no-show for a scheduled appearance at a local children's hospital as the breaking points in the team's relationship with the receiver.

Yet this turd will continue to blame everyone else.

And guaranteed, there will be Steelers fans that will hear he's available and STILL want to sign him as "insurance" just in case we lose Wallace. :doh:

Obviously the fault of the Wranglers' closet case QB.

Doesn't matter Indoor or Outdoor, Terrell Owens is not worth your time.

Frankel cited Owens' refusal to play in two upcoming road games that are critical to the Wranglers' playoff hopes and Owens' no-show for a scheduled appearance at a local children's hospital as the breaking points in the team's relationship with the receiver.

He better come up with a good excuse for that, otherwise, the bolded part is what pretty much destroyed any shred of decency or redeeming factor the jackass had.

owens is a asshat and not showing up to the hospital just drove that point home even more

[st33lersguy]

No one will want him after this

[venom]

I heard Rex Ryan wants him, lol

[Butch]

To bad this guy is so full of himself, his potential is phenomenal but not worth a penny for all the drama he brings with him.

[86WARD]

No one will want him after this

No one wanted him before this. B

Terrell Owens gets $50 severance from Allen Wranglers, threatens lawsuit (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/terrell-owens-gets-50-severance-allen-wranglers-threatens-150431179.html)

Wonder how long it will be before he joins in on the big NFL money grab (see: class action concussion lawsuit)? Pretty safe bet he didn't save any money for a rainy day.

Plus Owens was suppose to make visit a childrens hospital that he no-showed. It is sad to me that he could not even make time for a childrens hospital. I know it's too much to ask a spoiled premadona to do something nice.

Yeah, that's what really got me about his latest episode. What a POS.
