Bills receiver Terrell Owens claims that the media tried to force him to say something controversial following Sunday's loss to the Saints. "It really just shows you the angle that the media has taken all these years," Owens said on Sporting News Radio's Two Live Stews. "Over the years I've always kind of spoken openly about whatever is being asked with my answers, so the last four or five years I've kind of noticed that and tried taking some steps to prevent some of those things from happening. "But [Sunday] as you saw, it was obviously ... [the media] took some more than initiative to try to get me to kind of go down the wrong path. I know the last two teams that I've been on, I felt like I left those teams prematurely due to media interviews that I've done and things kind of taken out of context and they created sort of a media whirlwind in the locker room and things kind of went downhill from there. I'm just trying to do the best job I can do as far as answering the questions and trying to be a better teammate and not try to throw people under the bus." Sunday marked the first postgame interview that Owens conducted this season.
