No matter what Terrell Owens does, he makes news.

If he has a big game, it's big news. If he has a bad game, it's big news. If he talks after a game, it's big news. If he doesn't talk after a game, now THAT'S big news.

After the Bills collapsed to the Patriots Monday night, blowing an 11-point lead with just over 5 minutes remaining, everyone wanted to know how T.O. would react. Owens was targeted just three times. He dropped one pass and caught two for only 46 yards. Just three passes his way? Surely, Owens would blow up and begin to tear the locker room apart. Not physically tear it apart, but the media can only hope!

Instead, he told reporters, "You're wasting your time. I have nothing to say." The media scrambled. He didn't say anything! No outburst. No yelling at Trent Edwards. No sideline fight with new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. What will we write about? It seemed like Owens behaved himself and there would be little flack coming his way -- but you know that can't happen.

"They say Owens is a great teammate," writes Jerry Sullivan of the Buffalo News. "But once the real games began, T.O. wasn't all about the team. He was, as we'd been warned, all about himself." This is all because Owens wouldn't talk to the press after the game? Gee, why wouldn't Owens want to talk to the media? It's not like they've ever twisted his words around before. It was just about a week ago when T.O. was asked whether or not he liked the Bills no-huddle offense, to which he replied, "No, not really, but I gotta deal with it." Of course that's what the stories focused on, and taken out of context, it sounds serious. But the statement was clearly a joke. He laughed right afterwards and then said the reason for his dislike was because it was tiring him out. He just needed to get into better shape.

Sullivan mentions that "When the Bills signed Terrell Owens, we were told he would be a leader for a young team, a better teammate than we realized, a star who would bring some straight talk and swagger to the locker room." First of all, of course the Bills are going to say that. You think they're really going to say, "We're getting a disgruntled wide receiver who is very temperamental. It's a crapshoot but hey, we've been 7-9 for three straight years. Gotta do something!" But even putting aside whether he's actually a good leader or not, I don't understand how not talking to the media negates those possibilities. Owens can still be a great teammate and leader without talking to the media.

Owens' snub of the media might be a sign of his maturity. We all know Owens is an emotional guy. We all remember him crying in defense of his quarterback, Tony Romo. He had to be upset following the game. Who wouldn't be after such an utter collapse? Safety Donte Whitner couldn't even field questions without breaking down in tears. "Gee, do you think T.O. would have talked if he had 12 catches, like Randy Moss and Wes Welker?" Sullivan wrote. Of course, Sullivan is right. If he had had a monster game he definitely would've talked to the media. He would've been all smiles and would've given the media a show. But in a loss like this, what's wrong with taking advice we all learned in elementary school -- if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

In all honesty, Owens undoubtedly wasn't happy with the amount of looks he got. He's used to seeing the ball come his way about ten times a game. I'm sure he was frustrated by only being targeted three times. If he had talked to the media extensively something like that would have come out, and that would be what everyone was talking about the next day, no matter how many other things he said. Instead, he turned to where more and more athletes are going to make news, Twitter.

"We'll b ready next week! I promise u that!!" he tweeted Monday night. Let's see the media try and take that out of context.
