Via ESPN: Mini-camp fire? T.O. passes on Eagles practice
All-Pro wide receiver Terrell Owens skipped the Philadelphia Eagles’ first mini-camp practice on Friday, presumably because he wants a new contract.
Methinks that Owens is now officially the most annoying pro athelete of perhaps all time–certainly of the last decade (not counting those convicted of felonies).

Even more annoying than neon Deion?

Yup. He is in the running, no doubt, but TO wins hands down in my mind.

No one tops O.J.

Wow. That’s saying something for him to top neon Deion. I think you’re just forgetting how annoying Deion was.

He may not count as a “pro athlete,” but he is certainly someone who makes his living in athletics and remains quite annoying: Bobby Knight

No, I recall–and yes, he was mighty annoying.
However, I don’t recall him signing a bright shiny new contract and then holding out in addition to being a huge egomaniac.
(and Mark, I would consider OJ in the felon category)

Agreed. Of course, I also don’t recall Deion telling a team who traded for him to flip off, he wouldn’t play there (as, IIRC, T.O. did with Baltimore).
