Terrell Owens sound bites are always good for a laugh. Tuesday, he may have outdone himself.
He called New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis an average cornerback.
OK, maybe he has said worse, but Revis and average don't really go together.
"Just an average corner to me," the Bengals wide receiver told reporters in Cincinnati. "Everybody has assessed his abilities as far as what he did last year, shutdown corner, this and that. He did very well last year. But I think I'm looking forward to the challenge, just like he's looking forward to the challenge."
Revis bit his tongue.
"I'll see him on Thursday night," Revis told ESPNNewYork.com. "... Everybody knows T.O. He's going to be T.O."
For the record, Revis has 17 tackles and no interceptions on the season. In his defense, Revis got off to a slow start this year because of a hamstring injury that caused him to miss two games. Prior to this season, Revis has been known as one of the top cornerbacks in the league. Last season, Revis was regarded as the league's best at his position.
