Poll question: What's your favorite TO controversy?
The 50 yard line star stomp in Dallas will always take the cake for me. Especially with the Smith and George Teague responses.

1. I will never forget seeing "Terrell Owens Suicide Attempt" on TV
that morning.

2. Driveway crunches for sure
Just surreal and funny. TO has become the main character in his own reality TV show. And I'm saying that thinking much of the hullabaloo is overblown. Still, it's entered the realm of performance art as far as I'm concerned.

3. Other - Who gives a shit?
Most of this stuff has been fabricated/overhyped by ESPN anyway.

4. Pulling a Sharpie out of his sock and signing the football in the end zone
immediately after scoring a T.D., which he then presented to a fan. Happened in San Francisco.

He also accused (then) San Francisco quarterback Jeff Garcia of being gay.

This guy is a team cancer. Why he plays for anybody is beyond me.

5. Why does T.O. play for anybody?
Because someone is willing to pay big money for him to play on their team. Slowly but surely, the Cowboys are finding out what both the 49ers and Eagles already know.

9. That was his agent not a fan.
If that had been a fan(especially a kid) I would be willing to declare that one of the greatest endzones celebrations ever.

13. Me to
Some little kid with a 49s jersey on (and NOT TOs number) and that would have been awesome. His agent just makes it even more sickening.

6. The next one should be a doozy
No doubt TO spends his lonely time thinking of ways to one up himself. His performance this year is mediocre at best and he knows as each day passes his days in the spotlight are numbered so he'll go for the gusto. I'm so happy he ain't playing in Philly anymore.

15. Does anyone here remember what game it was where he got a
touchdown, wrapped a towel around the football and pretended to be a waiter? I know he was with the Eagles, but that was hilarious
