Hall of Famer blew up Andy Reid’s phone all last year in hopes of return

Never the quiet retiree type, Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens told Pat McAfee that he “blew up Andy Reid’s phone” all last year in hopes of a return to the gridiron.

Owens, 48, was a special guest on today’s Pat McaFee Show and shared his experience attempting to get ahold of Andy Reid, his former coach in Philadelphia.

“I talk extensively, time to time, with Andy Reid.” Owens said. “I was blowing his phone up throughout the course of the year, I’m like dude, bring me in! They brought Josh Gordon in, he didn’t do anything.”
