Three months ago, wide receiver Terrell Owens, a.k.a T.O., signed a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Buffalo Bills after being released by the Dallas Cowboys.

Ever since I became an NFL fan in 2006, the Bills have been an average team, always finishing 7-9 (the past few years, anyway). The Bills are a team I don't really like, nor do I really hate.

But, the addition of Owens, along with a good draft, will improve the Bills, and not just to 8-8, but I even think—GASP—9-7, a winning record. But seriously, I think they will finish 9-7.

T.O. is one of the NFL's biggest divas, starting his diva drama with Jeff Garcia in San Francisco, Donovan McNabb in Philadelphia, and most recently, Tony Romo in Dallas.

I wouldn't be surprised if he started his diva drama with Trent Edwards in Buffalo. He didn't show up to mandatory mini camps, but he made a good point that he wasn't the only one not to show up.

I do respect Terrell's talent, but I hate him, as he whined and cried in Dallas that Romo was his quarterback. He always cried and moaned that Tony Romo, or Tina Romo as I call him because he was out for weeks over a broken pinky finger, but that's beside the point, always threw to Jason Witten and that he (T.O.) had fewer passes thrown his way.

I wouldn't be surprised if that drama held the Bills back from the playoffs, but no matter what, I am happy for Bills fans, because they got a talented receiver and the Bills are the team with the longest playoff drought.

If you want to, please answer the survey I put up. My answer is in the article (I'm realistic, and I see the Bills at 9-7 in 2009). Thanks for reading, and if you have anything to say, please comment.
