Cowboys resembling Dallas nighttime soap opera

It’s becoming fitting that the Dallas Cowboys play their games in the same city that was featured in one of America’s once-popular night time soap operas.

This is fantastic – just too good to be true.

Not a week after Michael Irvin announced that his former team would save one of its 80 preseason roster spots for the winner of the former receivers’ reality show, another Dallas Cowboy is getting into the mix.

This time, current wideout Terrell Owens and his entourage announced that VH1 has green-lighted a reality show during which his friends and publicists Monique Jackson and Kita Williams try to help Owens find success off the playing field.

Banyan Productions, producers of Trading Spaces, will produce the show, which is at this point untitled and unsold.

It’s probably a perfect opportunity for Owens to begin this quest. While his 2008 numbers were still good, he disappeared for a chunk of the season, though in fairness, the Cowboys’ entire offense did the same.

And while he continued for the most part to be a solid receiver he is getting up there in age. He also continued his career-long trend of behaving himself for a year or two with whatever team he happens to be on before helping to stir up some controversy with whatever quarterback he happens to be playing with at any given time (see Garcia, Jeff and McNabb, Donovan prior to this season’s tiff with Romo, Tony).

So this reality show will help keep him in the public eye as he ponders whether to patch things up with Dallas teammates or create enough of a distraction this offseason to get himself cut again.

Should be yet another entertaining offseason for T.O. – and thus for the rest of us as well.
