Not that one. Or that one. This one.
So, maybe no NFL teams showed up to watch Terrell Owens work out on Tuesday. Owens still maintained confidence that some team would be interested in his services, and as it turns out, he was right. It just might not be the team he had in mind.
It’s the Chicago Rush of the Arena Football League. They want to bring T.O. into the 50-yard indoor war.
“We feel that this is an ideal time to approach the future NFL Hall of Famer,” said Rush General Manager and President Gene Nudo. “It would be a fantastic honor to add Terrell to our current roster for the 2012 season.”
It’s a bold move by Nudo, who I believe used to be known in the WWE as “Paul Bearer.” Here’s a later paragraph from the same news article that in no way makes this look like an empty publicity stunt.
In honor of this contract offer the Chicago Rush is offering an $81 Flex Plan to its loyal fans. The plan includes four tickets to a Chicago Rush home game. Additionally, the package includes four Rush hats as well as four Rush Nike Dri-Fit training shirts to ensure Rush fans will never have to work out shirtless again.
Probably not a reference to this. It’s probably motivated purely by football, and not by any media attention Owens is receiving right now, despite the fact that the Arena Football League doesn’t play a game until March. Let’s hear from the coach.
“Terrell would absolutely complement our current wide receiving corps,” said Rush Head Coach Bob McMillen. “His animation and over-the-top energy would be an excellent addition in the locker room, and the Chicago fans would undoubtedly welcome him here in Chicago.”
If you’re wondering about the rest of that wide receiving corps, it includes Reggie Gray, Vic Hall(notes), Charles Dillon(notes) and Brandon Fields(notes). I have no idea who any of those fellows are, but I’m sure their styles of play would complement T.O.’s very well.
