Rodney Harrison Would Like to Put a Bounty on Terrell Owens

Rodney Harrison is already tired of Terrell Owens. Never mind that we're just one game into the season, or that Harrison isn't even in the NFL. The former head-hunting Patriots safety now works as an analyst for NBC, but apparently he hasn't yet attended the seminar on journalistic impartiality.

During a Thursday radio interview with Boston's WEEI, Harrison went to town on T.O.

Via ESPN.com's Tim Graham:

"I'm pumped about T.O. opening up his big mouth about the Patriots," Harrison joked. "It's fair now. I can actually put a bounty on T.O. if I wanted and not get in any trouble."

"He's a clown," Harrison said. "He's all about the circus show and the cameras, and it's all about that. But you best believe he'll have Shawn Springs in his grill and Brandon Meriweather will be putting his helmet down his throat. So I'm excited about seeing that on Monday.

"He's just so, so miserable. He wants to seek so much attention. I don't know. Something happened a long, long [time] ago, before we even knew T.O., that just made him like this. The guy is such a phenomenal talent, but his clown antics and his tactics just take away, year after year.

"The story we should be talking about is the playmaking ability, the big plays and his potential Hall of Fame career."

Wait, why aren't we talking about his playmaking ability? Was he doing naked sit-ups in his front yard again? Because T.O. has been relatively quiet since signing with the Bills.

I fully expect that to change once Trent Edwards starts short-arming passes in his general vicinity starting Monday night, but until then, I don't know why Harrison's so worked up (as much as you can be worked up while joking about putting a bounty on someone, anyway). Of course, it could just be the roid rage talking.
