His interview Wednesday on ESPN was winding down. But there still was time for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb to offer words of wisdom to teams considering a trade for Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens.

“Good luck,” McNabb said, cracking a huge smile.

Good luck?

What we needed was a bubble over McNabb’s head-as if he were a character in the comics-with his real advice to any coach or team owner thinking about adding the NFL’s “Terrell-ble” one.

It might go something like this:

“Are you out of your mind? Are you crazy? Don’t do it! T.O. will divide your locker room and tear your team apart.

“He’ll turn on his teammates, especially his quarterback.”

Or something like that.

Of course it doesn’t matter what McNabb says or what Owens’ history with the 49ers and Eagles tells us. It doesn’t matter that Owens turned into a sour, self-centered, divisive prima donna in San Francisco.

That he turned on McNabb, as he had turned on former 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia. That he put his contract demands ahead of his Philadelphia teammates’ needs.

That he became so disruptive that Eagles coach Andy Reid suspended him for four games, then put him on the inactive list for the final five games.

Teams already are lining up to talk to Owens and Drew Rosenhaus, his slippery agent, about potential trades. Just as we knew they would.

Because if you can play, if you have immense talent, as Owens does, then there’s always another sucker ready to give you another chance in the NFL.

Reid and the Eagles thought they could handle Owens. They did, for the most part, for one season. Then Owens reverted to form, and Reid realized he had underestimated T.O.’s destructive force.

Now some other coach and some other team undoubtedly will make the same costly miscalculation.

Earlier this week, Owens and Rosenhaus met with Broncos coach Mike Shanahan in Denver.

“I’d take T.O.,” Broncos center Tom Nalen told the Denver Post. “If it would work anywhere, I think it would work here because of the guys in the locker room. Guys would keep him straight. I think he’d conform. He’d fit in here.”

Conform? Fit in? Owens follows his own rules. There may not be an “I” in team or in Terrell Owens, but a more appropriate spelling of his name would be IIIIIII IIIII.

Kansas City Chiefs president Carl Peterson said the Chiefs were “somewhat interested” in Owens.

New Chiefs coach Herm Edwards weighed in on the possibility of acquiring T.O.

“I can deal with any type of player because I’ve been in this league a long time,” Edwards told The Kansas City Star. “I understand players pretty well. I can communicate to them. I’ve had them all call me, Randy Moss, all of them.

“One thing about America is that it gives people second chances. Sometimes you get a third.”

As Edwards once said to reporters in New York, “Hell-ooo!” Edwards never has dealt with a player like Owens, a player so self-absorbed and delusional.

Some team is always ready to give a bad actor a second, third or fourth chance, whether it’s Milton Bradley, John Rocker, Sidney Ponson or Lawrence Phillips.

Owens hasn’t assaulted anyone, hasn’t been arrested, hasn’t been ordered to undergo anger management counseling.

All he did was sabotage an Eagles team that had reached four straight NFC title games.

No wonder so many suckers are ready to give T.O. another chance.
