…a month away from what, I don’t know.
T.O. I do prefer the nickname Skip Bayless offered to Terrell some years ago: T.O. = Team Obliterator. That, he is. Terrell called a mini-conference, and agreed to an interview with Stephen A. Smith last night. Stephen A., whom I adore for his absolutely verbal madness, sat down with T.O. and a few members of the Owens family.
Like so many, I hoped that Terrell Owens was going to humble himself before his family, Smith and the cameras. State that he loves the game, misses the game and wants to make his final years his best. Instead, he thought he’d offer a bit of a practical joke, before allowing Stephen A. to save the interview. Yep. T.O. stated that he was going to retire…before basically saying he was kidding and that NFL teams should prep to give him an opportunity.
Seriously. This guy. Terrell Owens may very well be the most insecure human being on the face of the planet. Never has someone with such beast DNA needed to prove anything more than what they can do on the football field. Yet for Terrell, it’s not enough.
After poking and prodding…and even squirming a bit–because Terrell made the interview as awkward as possible–Stephen A. somewhat guided Owens to a statement that he’d be ready soon. With some additional prodding, he got Owens to state that he’d be ready for game action in a month or less.
So here’s the million dollar question: Would you want your team to sign him? And if so, which team is yours, so I know which team to bet against each week?
Here’s the faux retirement announcement:
