"Holy crap!" was I think the first reaction to the Terrell Owens signing today. I was at a swim meet all day and got to Otto's in Cheektowaga to have a few drinks and watch the Sabres game and there on the TV they were watching Terrell Owens being signed by the Buffalo Bills.

Terrell Owens in Buffalo.....its surreal. Who would have guessed that Ralph Wilson, Dick Jauron, Russ Brandon and company were willing to take such a risk?

The question is, will it be a good risk. This move will either be a great move or a horrendous nightmare, there will be no inbetween. TO will either be a pro-bowler or a royal pain the ass.

What ever he ends up being, one thing is for sure, the Bills have found yet another way to sell out yet another season. Tickets after this move will fly out the windows and good or bad next year, the Bills will sellout.

TO creates a hype we haven't seen around here since the Kelly days as far as football goes and brings the national spotlight to Buffalo. We will be guaranteed to have at least one Monday night game and one Sunday night game as well, probably more, because where TO goes, so goes the national spotlight on the NFL.

So, get ready Buffalo, this is the attention we have all been craving, only we have to deal with it good or bad....in the end though, no one can blame the Bills on this move for trying to be aggressive and taking a chance that ultimately could pay off huge in the end. This move takes the AFC East and turns it on its head and probably takes New England totally by surprise.
