Lee and T.O.

The other night while driving around I heard Bucks announcer Ted Davis jokingly referring to the Bills' signing of Terrell Owens. Made me laugh, too -- can you really see the good, hard-working people of Buffalo putting up with that clown?

If he helps the Bills win, sure. What I'm most interested in, naturally, is what T.O. can mean for Lee Evans.

It seems like ever since the Bills drafted Evans and he began producing at a slightly above-average level, people in the know have said A. He needs a decent quarterback and B. He needs a complementary receiver.

At least he has B now. T.O. will attract so much attention, both from opposing defenses and the media, that Evans will be able to quietly thrive. Trent Edwards isn't a great quarterback, but he's not bad, either, and T.O. might make him even better.

It would be really nice to see another Badger to take the next step, a la Joe Thomas and now Owen Daniels, to Pro Bowl-caliber player. Evans is the most likely candidate, and now that he has a better running mate that has a better chance of happening.
