08:31 AM ET 07.09 | Terrell Owens is once again searching for a new team to play with. The problem is that his reputation in the locker room precedes his reputation on the playing field. In a recent interview on the radio, 104.5 FM The Zone in Nashville, Owens blames the media for his current unemployment. "A lot of people have listened to a lot of the commentaries throughout a lot of the media outlets, mainly ESPN, that has my character in question as far as things that have happened in the past," Owens said. "And I think even though I may do 99 good things right and if I do one thing wrong, ESPN and the people on there is gonna make it out to be the worst thing ever."

You have it backwards, T.O. You did 99 things wrong and one thing right and blaming for giving you a bad rap will only make you less marketable, not more.

...blaming the media for giving you a bad rap...

Fingers can't keep up with the brain.

Yes T.O. You were randomly picked to be their whipping boy. It is all the medias fault.

104.5 had a great interview...even with that butt clown, Clay Travis. Guy sounds like a 17 year old that had too many Mountain Dew's...

You have used the media in your rise to fame and fortune. Now the media wants its payment.

Have people finally stopped blaming George Bush for everything?

Way to own up to ur screw ups buddy

I do one thing wrong:

1 Thing: Blow up locker room in San Francisco by undermining the QB and wanting more money.

1 Other Thing: Blow up locker room in Philadelphia by undermining the QB and holding out for more money.

1 Other, Other Thing: Blow up the locker room in Dallas by undermining the QB, but don't get a chance to say he need more money before they fire him.

Jeesh. He does all these other wonderful things, and everyone keeps picking on one or two (or 3) little things that go wrong and make him out to be a bad guy! How unfair!

For a change I feel confident it will not be! Does Al Davis have his phone number?

Couldn't be because you can't catch a cold let alone a football. Your years whining and moaning are over. Now be a good looser and go polish your Super Bowl Rings. Oh wait a minute.....you don't have any. Oh well, sucks to be you.

July 9, 2010  09:10 AM ET

That's not right. Lord forgive me and be with all the little pygmies down in Africa....

July 9, 2010  09:17 AM ET

TO, do something right for a change. Shove your ungrateful ****** *** into the Deepwater Horizon well and plug it.

July 9, 2010  09:18 AM ET

It's time for TO to realize the end is near for you as a player. You have no credibility as a consistent go to player or a reliable teammate. Every team that you went to there was chaos. Don't go away mad TO, just go away! Now it's the blame game. He is a real joke. It's over!
What GM would be dumb enough to take a chance with this toxic moron?
The scary part about this imbecile is that he really believes that he is intelligent. TO, bye.
