Terrell Owens is ready to take on more television roles after his guest stint on Under One Roof ... But you won't be seeing the notorious football star on Dancing With the Stars ...
Terrell Owens: "They asked me to do that last year and I graciously declined. I don't need to get on national TV to show people I can dance. I do that 16, 17 weeks out of the year. I've been doing it all my career."
Owens said he will save his ballroom dancing skills for when he gets married ... Plus he's more of a sitcom kinda guy ...
Terrell Owens: "I had some friends over watching it. Everybody said I did pretty good. I think I surprised a lot of people with my performance. For me, I feel like I can act. That's what I want to do. If I wasn't really comfortable with it and didn't think I could really do it, then I wouldn't have done it."
Owens said some of his friends have been teasing him ... calling him "Denzel" ...
Terrell Owens: "I think comedy was a good start. I don't really see myself limiting myself just to comedy."

NFL superstar Terrell Owens guest-starred on Under One Roof earlier this month ...
Terrell Owens: "I had a blast. I had already done a movie [1999's Any Given Sunday] and TV stuff, but this time I had a character; I wasn't just playing a football player."
The 34-year-old Alabama native seems to be enjoying his transformation from Mr. Touchdown to Mr. Actor ...
Here is an excerpt from a Miami Herald interview with the NFL bad boy ...
What do you do when you're not playing sports?"I'm more of the kind of guy to invite people over and hang out. I watch a little TV now and then. I play cards, dominoes."
When fans stop you, what do you they say?
"There are Cowboy fans everywhere! They just say, 'We're looking forward to seeing you at the Super Bowl,' that type of thing."
How do you keep your physique off the field?
"I mix it up. I play a lot of basketball to help me with my conditioning. I use that as my cardio. There's a lot of winding and cutting, footwork and hand-eye coordination involved so it keeps my agility up. Also I use my TO Bands (www.tobands.com) for resistance. It's like a gym in a bag. I'm in the best shape of my life right now."
So you're a big basketball fan?
"Definitely. I played it in high school. I like to keep up with the Miami Heat. I followed them when Shaq was there. I was behind them in the finals [against the Dallas Mavericks in 2006], even here in Texas. It was kind of an awkward situation because I wore a Heat jersey to a Dallas game. People gave me a hard time."
You should be used to that -- people giving you a hard time!
"I will say I think there's a lot of misconceptions about me. It's safe for people to judge you from hearsay. But if you're around me for a period of time, you'll see I'm pretty much a laid-back, low-key guy."
How do you like Miami?
"Love it. I have a place in Sunny Isles. You can't beat the beach but it's on the quieter end. If I want to be in the mix and get into the nightlife I just drive [south]."
Favorite spots?
"I hang out with my friend DJ Irie and we go to places like Prime 112 or Big Pink, where I get a big Greek salad, egg white omelet or maybe some waffles."
So you're a healthy eater.
"Yeah. Lots of lean proteins and fish. My guilty pleasure is chocolate in general, though. Oh and cashews. But not together."
Would you ever play here?
"I don't concern myself with the Dolphins. There's nothing really I can do to help them."

Terrell Owens is invading Hollywood ...
The 6'3" 218lbs musclebound Dallas Cowboys wide receiver will guest star on an upcoming episode of the Flavor Flav-sitcom Under One Roof ...
The series airs on MyNetworkTV ... Flav plays Calvester Hill ... an ex-con who moves in with his wealthy, conservative brother and turns the Hill family's life upside own ...
Terrell Owens: "I am really excited about the show and grateful for the opportunity. I am looking forward to the experience and working with the cast."
Owens plays a forgotten brother of Flav's who shows up unannounced with a possible ulterior motive ...
Terrell Owens: "I think I can act and I want to pursue it when my football days are over. I had never done anything extensive acting at all. This was the first time I ever played a character outside of myself. It is very competitive and parallel to football. Sometimes you have things scripted and then you go out there and things don't go your way or the way you planned them. You just have to go with it. The show was a lot of fun and she saw something with me that I didn't see in myself."
Under One Roof airs on Wednesdays @ 8pm ...

Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor has been named the NFL Man of the Year for the 2007-08 season ...
Taylor was bestowed with the coveted Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award ... The honor is given annually to the player who best combines off-the-field community service and on-the-field achievement ...
Jason Taylor: "I am extremely humbled to receive an award bearing Walter Payton's name. He embodied everything an NFL player should aspire to be on and off the field. This is one of the more special moments of my career."
Taylor is the third Dolphin to win the award ... He joins Dwight Stephenson ('85) and Dan Marino ('98) ...
In 2004 Taylor started the Jason Taylor Foundation ... Its mission is to create programs that assist South Florida's children in need by focusing on improved healthcare ... education ... and quality of life ...
Jason Taylor: "I don't think it gets the vigor as a fellow making a mistake and getting a D.U.I. or whatever, making a mistake in the community and getting arrested. Obviously, that gets covered with a lot more passion and vigor, and that's unfair. There are a lot of guys in the league doing great things."

Dallas Cowboy's wide receiver Terrell Owens is no stranger to muscle and fitness ... That's why the magazine appropriately titled Muscle & Fitness has him as their January 2008 cover boy ...
Terrell has been on countless magazine covers in the past ...
For this issue ... Muscle & Fitness delves into Terrell Owens' workout secrets ... Terrell explains to us how he "built the NFL's best physique!" ...
Terrell is 6'3, weighs 225lbs and his body fat is between 3 and 4 %. His personal trainer describes him as "an ectomorph. You've got a long-distance runner who's covered with muscles." Terrell jumps rope for 30 seconds between strength-training sets to increase his endurance. He's trains with free weights (barbells and dumbbells) and elastic resistance bands. He exercises on a BOSU Balance Trainer while moving a medicine ball up and down or side to side. Terrell does a hundred medicine-ball crunches on a regular basis to maintain his extra smooth abdomen.
Terrell Owens: "For me, using the bands is easier on the joints and you still get a great pump. I can do the same exercises with the bands that I do with weights. During the course of the season I don't lift as heavy as I do in the off-season because we do so much running during practice and I don't want to tire myself out by being in the weight room five days a week. I pretty much work out 2-3 times a week to maintain my strength. I've found that I can do this with the bands."
Here is an excerpt from the magazine spread ...
TO also happens to possess one of the best physiques in pro football and a Jerry Rice-like work ethic on the field as well as in the gym (more on that shortly). So let's see... best work ethic, best body, among the greatest receivers to ever play the game. Merely coincidence? What do you think?Maybe you'll recall us featuring Owens a few years back, in the
October 2004 issue, just as he was starting his tenure with the Eagles and just months before he helped lead them to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys look to be in a similar position this year, as the consensus pick as the NFC's best team. One thing that's changed ever so slightly since our inaugural TO story is his training regimen. At 34 years old this month, his body is, well, evolving. And so his training.
Here is a clip of Terrell Owens promoting his secret training system ...
