If the reports regarding Terrell Owens are true, then football should really be the last thing on this guy’s mind for a long time. Terrell Owens, one of the leading receivers in the National Football League is also one of the most troubled athletes that the world has seen in a long time. His antics in Philadelphia last year were publicized as about football and the team but it is clear that the behavior of this individual should not be analyzed by any trainer on a football team. Of course, the reports will probably be denied by the Dallas Cowboys and Mr. Owen’s highly paid publicists but let’s face the facts, a developing story such as this usually doesn’t end up with a happy ending. When athletes are in the news for non-athletic reasons, then that athlete is usually crying for help and we as a society must recognize it. See Doc Gooden, Maurice Clarett, Marcus Vick and Steve Howe, then come to your own conclusion.

 

In 2 weeks, the Dallas Cowboys play the Philadelphia Eagles in what’s being billed as TO’s return to Philadelphia. If the reports about TO coming out of Dallas are true, then the only place TO should be in 2 weeks is a mental health facility. First San Francisco, then Philadelphia and now these events in Dallas should be absolute confirmation that this guy needs help.

 

The world has lost too many great entertainers way too early when they were just approaching their most product years. A short time before Elvis passed away, he performed his last concert. Most of the world didn’t know about his problems. We cared about his music. Shame on us and the people that surrounded him.

 

The TO story has not had a happy ending to most chapters. Let’s right this ship before the ultimate collision. TO, take care and get well. There’s more to life than the Lombardi trophy.
