They say things happen in threes.

This week, three NFL offensive coordinators have been fired.

A league source tells us that the Bills have dumped offensive coordinator Turk Schonert, ten days before the team's season opener on Monday Night Football against the Patriots.
And of course, TO had to tweet about

What is up with teams firing their offense coordinator right before the season begins? This the third team in less than two weeks that have done this. Has this ever happened before?

Yup, class act and a team guy all the way, that Terrell Owens. I'd pay extra to see somebody level that jackass.

Owens' joke about the firing doesn't bother me. It seems that he is just gearing up for the criticism that he knows is coming. I am sure many reporters will be trying to tie him into this. Basically he is saying he was not responcible for the firing. He does not attack the old OC or really make a comment about it.

I actually laughed at TO's comments. Pretty funny. He's probably right. I wouldn't be surprised if they were blaming him for it on tonight's edition of SportsCenter.

It's the fact he joked at all that shows he hasn't changed. T.O. is all about T.O.

Yeah pretty much. Does anyone actually think he has changed?

I think he is responsible for the other O.C. firings this week also.

And about this whole Twitter thing, worst invention since the vibrator

Even jerks are right occasionally, and T.O. was right to anticipate he'd be asked if he was to blame.

That said, it's bad form to joke about somebody losing their job. I'd add "especially in this economy," but I imagine Schonert had a fat (by most people's standards) guaranteed contract. By the time the career setback actually hurts his pocketbook, hopefully the economy will be better ...

Yeah, Twitter is useless. I wonder if Jauron & Co. weren't happy with the way the offense was responding in the no huddle?
