The essentials of course. Pinwheels bit foam rubber cowboy hat and some beer. It’s a great country. You have the ability to earn that kind if bank and then spend it as wisely or as foolishly as you wish. I guess he “stimulated the economy.”

Not sure how to feel about Owens. He’s a shameless self-promoter who has blasted his teammates and blew his money. On the other hand, he didn’t know the dude across the street from him was his dad until he was 12, and these gold diggers were on him for $20K per month in child support. $20K per month? For a child with with a woman who was working in a Waffle House? I’m sorry; there’s something wrong with that system, especially when they know a guy’s career is going to end no matter what.

Seriously?

Looks like we need to get a fund going so we can buy him some popcorn…….

It’s not hard, T.O. If you want to be called a man, you need to take care of your own kids. Otherwise, you are just a punk.

If this guy could just work his issues out, he and McNabb could be a solid, bordering on great, tandem for the next 3-5 years.

Had Owens handled things differently (Not called out his teammate in an interview, fired his agent, hired Rosenhaus, gone after “outplayed my contract” money and worst of all claiming what (IIRC) turned out to be phantom injuries during the contract dispute.

T.O. would have made (and would still be making) plenty of money in endorsements in Philadelphia, as the WR savior the city had begged for since the Reid-McNabb era began. The guy was a media darling, shooting MNF opening skits with one of the Desperate Housewives… in a shower no less.

I don’t know if I could name a sports figure whose self-destructive on and off the field behavior I can chalk up simply to chronic immaturity like Owens.

Their big contracts were equilvalent to winning the lottery. In some cases, these players won the lottery more than once(multiple big contracts) and still didn’t learn.

Seems like you only hear about the guys that squandered there millions and we don’t hear too many of those stories. I would assume that most players these days are much smarter and doing much better.

I don’t feel bad for these guys. They can go get a real job now with the rest of us.

Nice investment TO.

For those who do not know he will be in a pilot with Matthew Perry, the ex-star of “Friends” on NBC!!!

Perry talked about on Rich Eisen’s podcast (the link is down below)

With all due respect to the Owens haters, of course he will look bad in front of women because they want money!!! Women are the only ones who watch the Dr. Phil and no matter what he will only look bad!!! It’s not what is being said; it’s either how it is said or if we identify with the person or not!!!

He has done dumb things (including going on Dr. Phil!!!!), but he’s not as bad of a guy as people portray him to be!!!!

It seems like the only writers that do like him or consider him a nice guy are Stephen a Smith and Dan Lebatard, but sports fans don’t like them for their own reasons which I probably will disagree with!!! Alex Marvez has pointed out that he is a good guy, but there are not enough guys who are like or as liked as Alex!!!

T.O. will be in a no-win situation until further notice!!! He needs to just shut up and work and then no one will hate him as much!!!

1. How much per month does he owe for child support?
2. How much has he already paid for child support?

Aside from that TO is a colossal douche with a personality disorder and I feel not one ounce of remorse for him.

He was quiet in Buffalo and Cincinnati and still remained productive. You are telling me there is no team in need of his help?
————————————————-
He was quiet in Cincinnati???? Dude! Batman and Robin. Calling out every player he could think of on his radio show. Screaming at refs during games to draw flags. Reality shows. How is that being quiet??

Cincy went from being a playoff team to being a noncontender. And the minute he left they were a playoff team again. You can say that had nothing to do with T.O., but funny how every team he signs with that’s a contender manages to implode while he’s doing his “me, me, me” thing for the cameras. The only reason that didn’t happen in Buffalo is because they weren’t a contender when he got there, and no cameras were around.

“Owens says he can’t visit his kids, who live in different cities, because his travel schedule is too demanding.”

What travel schedule??? You don’t even play ball anymore!!! Kinda sounds alot like he’s CHOOSING not to see his kids… When you’re a father, sometimes you have to give up the things you WANT to do in order to do the things you SHOULD do… deadbeat!!!
