2009 the TO season -Terrel Owens

[Chandler#81]

We were starved for improvement and gifted this Dallas castoff with the Key to the City. Say what you will, he provided thrills and could break a game wide open! #HOF

I'll never forget finding out about him. I fell asleep in one of the farm trucks (a 93 S10) with the radio on Sirius. 

 

I was watching to make sure some wildfires I set to scrap wood and brush didn't go crazy.

 

I woke up as I heard them talking about it being in complete disbelief

Many people forget that this was also the year we signed long snapper Garrison Sanborn.

The fact that he wasn't a first ballot hall of famer is one of the biggest travesties in NFL history.     Top ten in every important recieving stat all time, but isnt a first ballot hall of famer, give me a break.

10? Try top 3. Absolute insanity. 

[Bills fan since 87]

Got a stitched TO ugly early 2000's jersey in the collection, still.  Couldn't stand the dude prior, but once I found out he was coming to Buffalo I loved it.  For a moment the spotlight was on us, the irrelevant era had firmly set in, so it felt good. He did have a pretty decent season for us.  Had a good listen with him on WGR like 5 or 6 years ago, with Jeremy and Howard.  TO recalled his year hear fondly.

[Lost]

Always felt surreal that he played for us.   Having an elite WR come to a city and team that nobody wanted to play for at the time.  

[May Day 10]

At the end, he could have trashed the team and city, nobody would have blamed him... but he didn't.  He handled it all with class and I'll always appreciate that.

The highlight of the 2009 season for me, aside from Dick Jauron getting fired after the previous game, was TO's 98 yard TD pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick.

[Billl]

He’s a guy that people loved to hate for whatever reason.  The guy was a great player, a pretty good dude, and never got into any legal trouble or anything like that.  I was always a fan.

[SoonerBillsFan]

The guy showed up and was a damn good teammate here.

Great football player and unfairly treated by the media.

2009 TO on this team would be crazy good
