Terrell Owens Rips Rodney Harrison
By Michael David Smith/Fanhouse
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens took to Twitter to lash out at former Patriots safety and current NBC analyst Rodney Harrison Sunday night, responding to Harrison ripping him on television by making pointed comments about Harrison's 2007 performance-enhancing drug suspension.
Owens went catchless for the first time since 1997 in the Bills' loss to the Saints, and in discussing the game on NBC's Football Night in America, Harrison (who previously said Owens called Owens "a clown") is "more concerned with his own stats than the team's success."
That prompted this response from Owens on Twitter:
I could less about Rodney Harrison! Anybody tht using steroids, yes STEROIDS rodney, is a cheater & cheated the game!
Is tht Y u used steroids b/c u were worried about ur stats or ws it b/c u were losing it? Lol! U're a loser & a cheater? Got any steroids I cn borrow?
Hey rodney! Send me sum steroids 2 the Bills facility next week!
Owens was referring Harrison's suspension for using human growth hormone, in violation of NFL policy. Harrison has always maintained that he used HGH only to recover from injuries and has never used anabolic steroids.
But those little details aside, the larger point here is that Owens has long had a reputation as a malcontent, and access to Twitter gives him an easy way to vent his frustrations. With the Bills off to a 1-2 start and Owens not getting involved in the offense, you can bet he'll have more opportunities to vent.
While I agree with Rodney Harrison's assessment that T.O. is in fact a clown, I couldn't be happier that T.O. finally found a good target for misplaced passive agressive taunts. Rodney Harrison was without question the dirtiest player to ever don a helmet in the NFL and any slam to him is more than okay with me. Plus T.O. is also correct, Rodney Harrison was suspended for HGH.
I can only hope this builds into a season long feud, occupying all T.O.'s time and motivating him to get along with his QB and play his best. But...I bet it won't. Oh well, at least we had this Tweet. It's like our 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.'
P.S. - Here's a makeup kiss for Rodney. You suck!
