In the latest twist to the Terrell Owens drama after being released Tuesday by the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League, TMZ.com reports that Owens is demanding a public apology by team owner Jon Frankel as well as payment for games played that he has not been paid for, according to a source.
The source told TMZ that Owens is owed four game checks worth more that $160,000. Owens also claims that he is still owed 50 percent of all revenue off of concessions, merchandise and tickets from during his tenure.
Owens is considering a lawsuit against the Wranglers because of information that was included in a press release announcing his release.
"The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back for Mr. Owens was his no-show to a scheduled appearance at a local children's hospital with other Wrangler players and coaches," Wranglers owner Jon Frankel said in the statement.
When specifically asked for his side of the story, Owens responded: "That don't work no more."
According to TMZ, an unnamed Wranglers coach said Owens was released because the team was going broke, not because he missed a recent team trip to a children's hospital.
The coach added that Owens played in three games after the hospital visit in early May.
Owens, 38, played for the Cowboys from 2006-2008, catching 38 touchdowns in 47 games. The six-time Pro Bowler signed with the Wranglers in January and became a part owner with hopes of getting another opportunity to play in the NFL.
