Recently, former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens tweeted that he is joining the Indoor Football team the Allen Wranglers as a player and co-owner. This a sad state of affairs for a man who was once considered one of the most dominant offensive players in the NFL.

He says his financial advisers (informally recommended by Rosenhaus) put him in a series of risky, highly leveraged ventures that he didn't discover until autumn 2010, when he finally demanded a full accounting.
