He looked like he was less than 2 months away from auditioning for the "Surreal life".

He has as much of a chance of being inducted into Canton as Tiki Barber.

No team that Owens has been a part of has ever won anything, and the fact that he's a hydrogen bomb in the locker room has a great deal to do with that. Every team he's ever been with has dissolved into pro-TO and anti-TO factions, and none has ever fulfilled their vast potentials.

That's about as far removed from a Hall of Famer as you can get. A guy whose childish antics and manipulative nature served to prevent his teams from winning is not someone who gets cast in bronze.

Sources: St. Louis Rams very interested in signing Terrell Owens - ESPN

The St. Louis Rams have intensified discussions in hopes of signing free agent Terrell Owens, according to sources close to the player and team.

The Cincinnati Bengals, as reported by ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, are also engaged in talks with Owens.

The Bengals signed free-agent receiver Antonio Bryant during the offseason but Bryant has struggled so far. According to a team source, that has motivated the Bengals to take another look at Owens.

One source said the Rams have gotten very aggressive in their pursuit of Owens and it's possible that Owens will sign with the Rams or Bengals within the next 48 to 72 hours.

Cincinnati Bengals discuss deal with Terrell Owens, agent; St. Louis Rams drop out - ESPN

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown is trying to produce his own reality show.

Terrell Owens. Chad Ochocinco. Together in Cincinnati.

Brown said on Monday that the team has discussed a contract with Owens and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The Bengals passed on the chance to sign the 36-year-old receiver after a tryout in March, but have given it more thought now that he remains a free agent.

Sources had told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the St. Louis Rams also were interested in signing Owens, however the team decided Monday against adding Owens, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

If Owens accepts the offer, the Bengals would lead the league in reality show stars. Receiver Chad Ochocinco appeared on "Dancing With the Stars" in the offseason, and has a dating show called "Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch" currently playing on VH1. Right after Ochocinco's show comes "The T.O. Show."

While Ochocinco eliminated two contestants in his recent show, Owens donned a metrosexual look for a fashion show -- bare chest under an open jacket and a wig.

What they'd do together in a locker room would get some attention, too.

Brown noted that Owens caught the winning 57-yard touchdown pass in Dallas' 31-22 victory over the Bengals in 2008.

"I think that I would rather have him line up on our side of the ball than the other side of the ball," Brown said, at the team's annual preseason luncheon. "I can remember playing Dallas a few years ago when he caught a pass across the middle that won the game for them.

"So I've seen him do it. I've seen him do it against us. I'd like him to be here and do that against somebody else."

So would Ochocinco, who is a close friend and lobbied unsuccessfully for the Bengals to sign Owens in March. Instead, they chose receiver Antonio Bryant and gave him a four-year deal.

One change since then: Cincinnati's quarterback has joined the lobbying effort. Carson Palmer has been working out with Owens in California, and excitedly called coach Marvin Lewis about making a run to sign the receiver.

"Carson was really impressed with a lot of the things that Terrell was doing," Lewis said. "Carson's comments to me -- I guess the word is they resonate well."

Ochocinco has resumed his Twitter lobbying to sign Owens. Last March, he dubbed the two of them Batman (Owens) and Robin. He thinks Palmer, who wears No. 9, has more sway with the front office.

"im out of the loop now, i expressed my beliefs on why he should be here and that's all i can do, [No.]9 has the real power," Ochocinco tweeted.

The final say rests with Brown, who has a history of giving chances to players with trouble in their past. He repeatedly brought back receiver Chris Henry, who was arrested five times and died last year in a fall of his fiancee's truck.

In the last two years, the Bengals also have signed running back Cedric Benson, running back Larry Johnson and receiver Matt Jones, all of whom were let go by teams because of off-field issues.

In an interview with The Associated Press earlier this month, Owens pointed out that he was on good behavior last season in Buffalo, where he caught 55 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns -- his least-productive full season since early in his career with San Francisco.

"Yes, people can make mistakes," Brown said. "It doesn't mean that they go on the rest of their lives making mistakes. They can get their ship pointed in the right direction. This is a 36-year-old man. He's been through a lot. He's proven as a player and as a person."

Brown formed his opinion about Owens during a one-on-one meeting last March in conjunction with his tryout.

"When he was here, I was surprised," Brown said. "I met with him personally and privately. He is not at all the way his public image is depicted. He's a pleasant person, a quiet person. I found him engaging. And I do trust my own eyes on this sort of thing. I think that if he chose to come here, that he could help our team, and we'll see how that plays out. It's going to be his decision."

If he chooses Cincinnati, he could be paired on the outside with Ochocinco. Lewis said Bryant could move into an inside slot position.

Lewis had to defend against Owens throughout his career.

"So I've been there, I've seen that," Lewis said. "You think he's on reality TV now? Being on that sideline watching him do it is real reality TV. So he's an effective player and you like what he brings. You like what people say about him who have had him on their football team to the positive, and we've just got to make sure none of the negative creeps in anymore. He's been a couple of years beyond that."

Rosenhaus didn't return a message on Monday. He also represents Ochocinco, who is entering the final season on his contract with the Bengals. The team has an option for an additional season in 2011.

I'll edit my last statement by adding everyone but cincy knows his act is tired. It shouldn't take them long to be educated.

This once agains proves my point that sports teams in the state of Ohio are alergic to championships.

Go ahead and list off the championships that the browns, and bengals have. I'll wait here. While you're at it, please put me in my place by telling me how awesome the cavs, Indians, and the suckeyes have been in the last three decades. The best thing the state of Ohio has is their Ohio university band. But I figured I wouldn't bring them up.

When you're done googling, hit me up.

All I'm saying you can't call some state allergic to championships when they've won them before in the past in more than one sport. That's all

They lost their icon,(lebron) and failed to get the best baseball player in the state in the all star game.(votto). I'm certain they all suck.

if you think the teams suck now and dislike T.O. that's fine, you're allowed to, everyone's allowed to feel that way about players/teams

but that really doesn't make a whole state allergic to championships (esp. if they've won things quite a few times in different sports). A state being allergic to championships would be somewhere more along the lines of a South Carolina than an Ohio

Count the sports teams in south carolina and then count the teams in ohio.

My disdain for that d- bag "to" is the orginal point of this thread. I'd like to get back to that as soon as this debate is done. Let me know, but do so quickly. I'm running out of coors light.

god you really just want me to go out and list championships for you, don't you?

I hate to say it, but this state's teams would warrant that "allergic to championships" tag before Ohio would

(btw where's the OSU has sucked for 3 decades coming from? they won the national championship in 2002)

You're wrong. I don't want you to list anything anymore. I'd just like for you to stay on topic at this juncture. ( empty can rattles in the trash bucket)

oh and, " Ohio state sucks".

good that's an opinion, not a stat. I don't like them either...but that doesn't make them championless either

if you want to get back on topic, then go back to your "TO sucks" rant and stop telling me a state that's won championships hasn't b/c you don't like the teams there
