Getty ImagesAfter a quiet first quarter in which Allen Wranglers receiver Terrell Owens couldn’t break free from press coverage, the future Hall of Famer has added two touchdowns to his career numbers on two second-quarter catches.
Owens’ first score came on a short pass. On the next drive, with no defensive back lined up in his face, Owens ran 20 or so yards to the end zone and caught the ball. He has 31 total receiving yards.
The game is being televised by ESPN3, with Wranglers G.M. Drew Pearson also serving as color commentator.
More importantly, the Allen Wranglers lead the Wichita Wild, 24-17. But the Wild is/are driving. Which, when it comes to indoor football, is pretty much always true of whichever team has the ball.
UPDATE 9:10 p.m. ET: He now has three catches, three touchdowns, and 47 yards.

LOL!!!!!!!! The fix is in, lay off the press coverage. He looked horrible when he had a guy pressing him. As Mick said to Rocky..”come on home son, its over”.
I have been watching the game and I am glad to see him do well. Would be nice if the Rams picked him up.
considering i do not know anything about this league, I hope this is not a real picture
He’d instantly be the #1 receiver on the Vikings or Bears. If he’s able to keep his mouth shut and continue to perform on the field, he could make for a good signing.
I believe it’s called the Football Doldrums. We’re down to talkin’ the Allen Wranglers, the Witchita Wild, and T.O.
And training camp is a galaxy, far, far, away.
Countdown to T.O. destroying the Wranglers locker room….
As soon as the game is done, he has to get down to Papa Johns to deliver pizza on the late shift.
Gots ta pay my babies mommas.
Somewhere Jeff Garcia is grinning…
How is this “professional” football? Just curious.
I’ve always disliked TO as a player and I feel embarrassed for him.
When did we get Espn 3? Does this mean we will soon actually have dodgeball on the Ocho?
I scored a triple double in Nerf basketball tonight.

The guy is a freak! Lets Go T.O!

nobody wants Garcia either. Did you happen to see the QB’s that beat him out for emergency roster spots?
by looking at this pic, this doesn’t look good
Tomorrow I have my flag football championship. That should be getting equal amount of press coverage$

laughed so hard at this!!! haha
I’m a big TO fan. Hope he gets another chance in the league. He’s really mellowed in the last few years, I think he’s been humbled a bit. He was having a great season for the Bengals before the knee injury a couple years ago. I mean, look at his stats – outside of the lost season in Philly and that year with the Bills he’s been over 1,000 yards every year he’s been a starter. The guy is a freakish athlete, and he’s at the age (and obvious monetary needs) that he knows it’s time to put up or shut up. I think he’s got another good year in the league left.
(copied from the song “Shout” and the Bills’ copy of it)
Hey!!! Hey!!! Hey!!! Hey!!!
Hey!!! Hey!!! Hey!!! Hey!!!
Let’s Go Wranglers!!!! Let’s go Wranglers!!!!
Scream!!!!!!!!
I would take T.O. over Moss any day. The man has heart and ALWAYS gives 110% on the field.
Even in a two bit league like the IFL………….
I miss real football.

=======================
You try playing it “professional keyboarder” – we’ll see how long you’d be able to “lock down”, T.O.
Its professional, because you probably couldnt make the cut.
Mabie Tiki should consider the IFL.
But has he learned to just shut up and play?
Hes a monster he can still play n the NFL
3 TDS on 3 catches? Did Juan Castillo take a side job as DC of the Wichita Wild?
Life imitates art.
Requiem for a Heavyweight.
I hope TO gets a contract with denver… Mebbe tebow would straighten him out….
Uh. Is that a girl in that picture?
I mean, I am pretty sure it’s a girl – but she’s in a different uniform (shorts). And I think they all forgot to put on their pads/helmets.
So, seriously, I hope you are kidding when you said he is adding to his career TD totals.
Is that seriously a chick chasing TO??!!!
Holy cow, when someone said he was broke, I didn’t realize, just how BROKE this dude is!!!
“nobody wants Garcia either. Did you happen to see the QB’s that beat him out for emergency roster spots?”

Garcia was in the league last year for the Texans.
is that a girl on the left hand side chasing TO?!
Maybe he and AI can open a chain of car washes or something…
The game is played in sand and with women? Good lord.
yea but can he do sit ups without his shirt on?
Sitting here holding my breath waiting for the next update.
TO is hoping for a Pop Secret!
Tiki is flabbergasted.
Lol…that pics from the Celebrity Beach Bowl! You guys are killin me! Hahaa!
This is “obviously” a pic from the game… dummies.
Since when is owens a future hall of famer.
I just noticed something about this picture. Nothing against women playing sports or being less equal…but is T.O. playing in a co-ed league? Was he being pressed at the line by Susie & Barb?
would this be the equivelant of Joe Louis forced by debt to become a greeter at a Vegas casino?
In a related note, Drew Pearson pushed Nate Wright down to get to the color commentary microphone.
