"It's discouraging at times that I get labeled and put in that same mold and that I'm the worst guy that ever put on a uniform," Owens said. "It's funny. I listen to all the comments and it baffles me.
"You have a guy like Ray Lewis, who I thought he was pretty much my friend. This is a guy, double murder case, and he could have been in jail, but it seems like the league embraces a guy like that. But I'm going out scoring touchdowns and having fun, but I'm the bad guy."
"All I can really narrow it down to is that they don't like me," Owens said. "Like (Pittsburgh linebacker) Joey Porter said, Lewis comes back and the league embraces him. He makes tackles and he gets up and does his thing. He probably gets credited for tackles and he don't even make them.
"For whatever reason, they just don't like me. I think just the fact that I have a lot of confidence for what I can do on the field, and I still go out there and I do it and I still have fun with it, so I don't know why they have a problem with me."
"I'm obviously not one of those guys who are a face of the NFL that they're going to have on commercials," Owens said. "They pick the guys that they feel best suits whatever position they're trying to come across with. So who knows? I just go out there and I still do my thing."
I must say you are right TO about the league loving Lewis but the reason people dont like you is that you are a idiot... Play your contract shut up and take the money and SHUT UP AND PLAY!!!!
Dont b!tch about the money dont b!tch about the players around you, dont b!tch about the team just show us what you can do on the field!!!!!
