Terrell Owens Will Wear #81

PrintWill Terrell Owens ask for #81? Will Antonio Bryant, the former champion of big free agent acquisitions dethroned by a 36-year old, give it up if asked? It's not uncommon for new players to have familiar numbers taken by a player that arrived earlier -- in Bryant's case, only a few months. Typically, a few dollars change hands, a handshake, a clasp on the back and everyone is back to business. One has to believe that Owens being the elder in this scenario, seems like that means a lot in the NFL, that Bryant wouldn't give Owens any problems.
And he won't.
During NFL Network's Total Access, Warren Sapp (of all people) "reported" that Terrell Owens will keep his "signature number" with the exchange of an unknown sum of money -- some of which will go to charity. Now that "story" is resolved, we can be relieved with a heavy sigh, cold beer and some Kings Island fireworks.

10 bucks says that by the end of the year it’ll be Terrell Ocho Uno.. Any takers?

I'd take you up on that...
Mainly because I seen all the crap that Chad had to go through to unveil his Ocho Cinco.. Changing your name isn’t a easy process when you have Reebok’s making thousands and thousands of jersey that are worth quite a bit of money.. If this were a two year deal maybe…

Ups
Bad News. 2 days and already putting his ego first.

I wouldn't go that far. The guy has worn 81 his entire career, it's part of his identity.
Much like Chad with 85. I think this speaks less of the magnitude of Owens’ ego than the “littleness” of Antonio Bryant’s.

No kidding
I own a Carl Pickens 81 jersey, but nothing’s changing there!

Cincy will a ball gag be issued with that #
What are you talking about?
Is there some sort of ball-gag inside joke that I’m not aware of?
No amount of prosperity is sufficient to eliminate all misfortune, and sloth is impervious to opportunity.
