TO Doesn’t Like All the Attention He’s Getting

The Herald – Terrell Owens showed up for the Buffalo Bills voluntary workout sessions a few weeks late and wondering what all the fuss was about. With a shrug of his shoulders, Owens noted he wasn’t the first or only NFL player to miss a session where attendance isn’t mandatory. It just seemed that way to T.O., based on the headlines he generated after failing to arrive for the start of the program on March 23. “That’s the thing, what I find so unfair about it is that I’m not the only guy out of 32 teams that didn’t show up,” Owens said. “That’s what’s so frustrating about the whole thing is that everybody nitpicks at anything and everything I do.”… Owens also had a message for anyone questioning whether he’ll be a disruption. Breaking into a smile and standing before the press outside the Bills’ media room, Owens said: “No worries.”

I had to rewind the video of this press conference ten times to make sure that Owens actually said what I thought he said.  And he did. Owens is in fact bitching about how unfairly he’s being treated because the media is covering him.  TO.  That TO.  The one who’s spent his whole adult life doing whatever it took… short of taking an American freighter captain hostage… to make sure that every move he makes is the top story on every sports outlet in the country, is complaining that his attendance at a team workout is a story.  The biggest attention whore on Earth has his panties in a bunch because he’s getting attention.  Oh, and by complaining about it, he’s drawing attention to himself.  TO is Octomom in shoulder pads, playing up his irrational need to be in the public eye in order to illicit more publicity for himself, then asking us to respect his privacy.  I give it until Halloween when he realizes that media-wise, Buffalo NY is a pimple on the ass of the NFL and does something over-the-top crazy like walking out on the team or another “accidental” non-suicide non-attempt just to get himself back onto the first three minutes of PTI.

PS.  For SportsCenter to even pose the question “Who’ll have a better year: TO or Randy Moss” is an insult to everything that is sacred.
