It didn’t take long for Terrell Owens to become a staple in the media after joining the Dallas Cowboys. First, there was ‘the player.’ Then, the hamstring injury, and Owens Watch 2007. Next, the bicyclist uniform incident. And the overdose. And the fallout with the receivers coach.

In other words, the same old T.O.

But just who showed up for training camp this year? With the focus on Wade Phillips, Jason Garrett, and T-Ro (as I like to call Romo), it seems Terrell Owens was a little forgotten in the media shuffle. But, surely, this attention-starved adolescent would do something to shift the media’s focus back to him, right?

Thus far, the answer seems to be a fat, resounding ‘wrong.’ There hasn’t been much word out of T.O. this season. And, while the season is still young, if the first game is any indication we might have a new T.O. on our hands. Yes, that was Terrell Owens getting shut out during the first half. But where was the shouting match? The frustration? The inattention when the ball was finally thrown to him in the third quarter? Seems like he caught it.

But, perhaps the biggest question is: Where were the touchdown celebrations? That was two touchdowns scored, but no fancy dancing or trying to outdo Chad Johnson.

The season is young, but I’m starting to doubt we’ll see the old T.O. It’s a small doubt, I still think he might raise his ugly head, but I have to admit there’s a chance T.O. has gone and done the unthinkable: grown up.
