Terrell Owens made his personal Farewall To Dallas tour this week, holding his fourth annual summer football camp for kids and a "Thanks for the Love" party for adults.
The flamboyant receiver goes out pretty much the way he came in: providing plenty of fodder for folks on either side of the love-hate debate.
Those who love him will point to his willingness to return months after being dumped by the Cowboys, and to anchor this trip around working with kids. They note the scholarships given out to cover the $195 camp fee. The party at a 48th floor downtown ballroom is a nice touch.
T.O. haters will point out the two-day camp wasn't filled up, even with all the giveaway spots. And, if Owens really wanted to do something nice, he could've made it free, especially considering all the corporate sponsorship and the six varieties of outdated "Getcha Popcorn Ready" T-shirts being sold. Critics also could make an issue of Owens arriving midway through the first day. And that party? Tickets cost $20 to $60.
