Shutdown Corner - NFL

Terrell Owens(notes) has burned bridges with every quarterback he's ever played with, so why should real estate agents be any different? The ever-courteous T.O. blasted his former real estate agent, Maureen Flavin, on his Twitter account today after she publicly revealed that he had signed a rental contract on a 4,500 square foot home in Orchard Park, NY

W/THE RELEASE OF MY POTENTIAL RENTAL @ 34 WOODTHRUSH TR, I WILL NOT B RENTING DUE 2 THE UNPROFESSIONALISM OF MAUREEN FLAVIN!!

Except for use of all caps and abbreviating "be" with "b", Owens sort of makes sense here. He claims he requested confidentiality and the real estate agent broke that deal. T.O. is the last person who should be calling out somebody for self-promotion and unprofessionalism, but that doesn't mean he can't be right on something every now and again.

However, seeing as how T.O. invited reporters and photographers to a house-hunting event in May (above, that's Flavin on the right) and gleefully told people that his earlier efforts to rent one house were rebuffed because of potential "drama", he loses all right to be mad after the agent took it public. 

T.O. will doubtlessly find a new real estate agent now and think he's going to be happy with her forever. One day, he might hear a stranger criticizing his new realtor, which will cause Owens to start crying and say, "that's my teammate ... that's my real estate agent." Then, T.O. will think the agent is paying more attention to other customers (maybe Jason Witten(notes) gets traded to Buffalo or something) and he'll start complaining and blaming all his problems on Ed Werder before leaving to find another real estate agent. And the cycle will then start anew as it always does with the biggest diva in the NFL.

    The cool thing about his real estate agent is that she doesn't choke in the playoffs and when the games count.

    "It's unfair to blame Tony for our loss because he travels a lot. It's really unfair.....we win and lose as a team, man. I mean, he's my quarterback, man. He's my quarterback!" And now you know the rest of the story......good day! Discuss!

    Why does Flavin look like the ugly stick broke over her busted grill? Oh look at MJD taking a little time out of his busy schedule to comment on Chase's blog. Get back to work already.

    As a Cowboys and Bills fan, (the only one in Western NY, i'm sure...) If Jason Witten got traded to Buffalo I would be estatic!
    And, come on, everyone knows that Ed Werder is a horrible reporter... he DOES make up stories.

    Probably much more to this story as there always is much more.
    Not sure why a realtor would publish the address if client wanted confidentiality. My guess is that it has been a few weeks since we heard anything TO, so he had to make something up to get back in the press.
    I hope the Pats and Dolphins linebackers shut him down. No way they are strong enough to shut is mouth, but maybe they can put his body on the ground.

    It's like Sarah Palin trotting out her daugters and granddaughter on the stage of the Republican National Convention and then complaining about privace when unflattering stories about them appear in the press. What a hypocrite.

    Man T O is right why should his personal Business be exposed, if he wanted that im sure he would expose it to everyone himself. Man Get a life T O is T O doing T O now watch him shine as he always does, wish he could have been a Giant but he is not and Im still a T O fan. "Quaterback" T O can make any Q B shine as long as they can get the man the Ball. The Dallas thing well that was a personal thing something we shouldn't know about but Jerry saw a chance to save money, He's not worried about winnig thats Americas Team of course we saw that when Jimmy left.

    TO is comic relief. He's entertainment for the whole family. Let's see no domestic abuse, no one being run down and killed in the street and no gun fire. thank you for something that's not so heavy. Just plain old entertainment.
