The Buffalo Bills are a team plagued with complete and utter failure.

Even in the early '90s when they played their way into four straight Super Bowls, they managed to lose each and every one of them. They haven't made the playoffs since 1999. The only other team with that long of a drought is the lowly Detroit Lions. Since that year, they have had one winning season.

Even during the 2008 season when they started out 5-0, the Bills managed to win only two of their remaining 11 games, finishing 7-9 for the third straight year. As of late the Bills seemingly have average teams, and it is widely thought that they only need one more superstar player to get them over the proverbial hump.

Cue the Dallas Cowboys and their release of Terrell Owens.

On March 4, the Dallas Cowboys released the disgruntled T.O., who was upset at the lack of looks he was getting on the field from quarterback Tony Romo. T.O. believed Romo and Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett were conspiring against him, purposely keeping him from being an integral part of the offense.

On March 7, just three days after his release from the Cowboys, an unlikely team signed T.O. to a one-year, $6.5 million deal. That team was the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills have always prided themselves on steering clear of controversial players. They rarely have had confrontations in the clubhouse, and are for the most part a tight-knit group.

Lately, however, a few Bills players have been getting in trouble off the field. Wide receiver Roscoe Parrish was arrested for DUI in February 2008, safety Ko Simpson for hindering police in January, safety Donte Whitner for aggravated disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in April, and running back Marshawn Lynch this past February on a gun charge.

Owens comes to Buffalo to get away from the larger markets he has previously played in. He hopes to lay low in Buffalo, put up good numbers, and hopefully help this troubled team reach its first playoff series since 1999.

Many fans, however, still remember the controversies and wild celebrations T.O. has taken part in that have gotten him in trouble over the years.

Owens has been the subject of many controversial interviews throughout his career, often stating he doesn't care what people think about it and that he will do what he wants to do.

In late September 2006, T.O. was found unresponsive, seemingly overdosed on pain pills. When asked if he intended to harm himself, T.O. answered, "Yes." Owens later denied this, saying he was happy to be alive, and had no intentions on killing himself.

In December 2006, Owens spat in the face of cornerback DeAngelo Hall, garnering a fine of $35,000.

Besides being known for these peculiar actions, and tearing apart the clubhouse of every team he is on, T.O. is perhaps most widely known for his outrageous touchdown celebrations.

Some of these include running out to the Dallas star at midfield twice during a game to celebrate after two touchdowns while with San Francisco, pulling a Sharpie out of his sock to sign the football after a touchdown in 2002, grabbing pom-poms from a 49ers cheerleader and dancing after a TD, pulling a towel from his waist and draping it over his forearm, and carrying the football as if he was serving it to the opposing team as a waiter might do, and pretending to take a nap using the football as a pillow.

Some of the more creative ones include dropping the football in a Salvation Army Red Kettle on Thanksgiving Day. Owens was quoted as saying, "That was my donation. I hope it's worth as much as the fine." T.O. also stood behind the goalpost after a touchdown with the Cowboys, and used the football as a video camera, mocking the fact Bill Belichick had been suspected of spying and filming games.

More important than the crazy endzone celebrations that T.O. is assured to bring to Orchard Park is the overall effect he will have on the team.

Owens will most likely be slotted as the No. 1 receiver, bumping Lee Evans to the two slot. It was widely thought among Bills fans that Evans has always been a No. 2 receiver, and a superstar alongside him would only make him better than he already is.

Roscoe Parrish and Josh Reed most likely will split time as the third receiver. This is good, as Parrish and Reed have different skill sets that will come in handy in different situations.

With two high-caliber receivers now on the field, the holes will undoubtedly open up for Marshawn Lynch once he returns from a three-game suspension.

The Bills defense has always been decent, and is made even better with pass rusher Aaron Maybin taken in the first round of this year's draft.

The Bills have been a team plagued by injury to their defensive players. If the Bills can keep their guys healthy this year, they have a good shot of at least contending for a playoff spot. Being in the same division as the Patriots, Jets, and even the Dolphins will make it tough, however.

The only thing to do now, as T.O. said in 2006, is "getcha popcorn ready."
