GQ Article: T.O. Has No Friends and Lost $80 Million???



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. The story is far worse as T.O. opens to GQ magazine, where Owens seems to be friend-less and penniless:

"...Owens may have made a lot of money in his career—at least $80 million—but he insists almost all of it is gone....The problem, he says, is that he's by nature too trusting, loyal to a fault, despite everyone's carping that he's selfish. It's the sad old stereotypical song of the up-from-nothing black athlete: He let other people take care of things. 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.

...It's times like these that he misses Monique and Kita, who used to check in a lot; he fell out with them a few months ago, after shooting ended for the final season of the (T.O.0 show, when he discovered they were trying to sell their own lives as a reality program. "They said they were planning to make me an executive producer, but if we were business partners, don't you think I would have known about it?"

"I don't have no friends. I don't want no friends. That's how I feel," he said.

Mike Vick Back with Nike

(Via By: Darren Rovell)



Michael Vick got to write his comeback story on the field. Now, he has seen his image come full circle off of it.
CNBC has learned that, in a remarkable move, Nike, which severed Vick’s contract in 2007 after he admitted to his involvement in a dogfighting ring, has re-signed the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback.
“Michael acknowledges his past mistakes,” said Nike spokesman Derek Kent. “We do not condone those actions, but we support the positive changes he has made to better himself off the field.”
Vick’s longtime agent Joel Segal told CNBC that “Michael is excited to have a long-term and strong relationship with Nike.” The deal was done by Chicago-based attorney Andrew Stroth.

"The 13-year-old boy who was bullied and beat up by a "wolf pack" of teenagers in Pennsylvania last month received a surprise visit from his favorite football player on live television. Nadin Khoury was walking home from school on Jan. 11 when he was randomly accosted by seven teens who attacked him for 30 minutes. The incident was filmed by one of the assailants, which helped propel the sickening incident into the national spotlight."

Trailer: The T.O. Show Debuting 7/20 on VH1


Love him or hate him, NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens is a star.

Most sports critics will swear that Owens is bad for the game.

While the former Dallas Cowboy and current Buffalo Bill can be selfish and at times come across as a bit crazy, the fact is that the NFL needs guys like Owens to play the villain, so they can sell tickets, jerseys and beer to keep the ratings high and the stadiums full.

In television, drama creates ratings and Terrell Owens is a true drama king.

On his new VH1 reality show the T.O. Show, the charismatic Owens will probably do the following:

Work Out
Date hot chicks
Cry
Feature his charity
Work Out some more
Cry again
Date more hot chicks
(Owens is reportedly dating Sports Illustrated model Jessica White).

While most sports critics will publicly say that they will not watch Owen's show, secretly they will be tuning in each week with a pom pom in one hand and popcorn in another.
