WWTOD?

If you are a fan of sports, then you are not a fan of Terrell Owens. On 7/21/2005, Jim Rome explains:

Terrell Owens didn’t just stick his foot in his mouth, it’s halfway down his throat. In fact, he has his knee, leg and hip jammed in there too.

First TO compared himself to Jesus, now he wants a new deal because as TO said, I need to, “Take care of my family.”

Is Latrell Sprewell giving TO public relations tips now?

What, that $49 million bucks you signed for a year-ago isn’t enough to take care of your family?

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think TO is eating mac and cheese or Top Ramen. I don’t think anyone in TO’s family is going without.

Who exactly is that argument supposed to appeal to? Do you think anyone fired open the fish-wrap this morning and thought, I know exactly what TO is going through. It really is tough out there. $49 million doesn’t spend like it used to.

Look, if you want to make the argument that player “A” makes more than you do and you’re better than player “A”, therefore you deserve more fine, I’ll listen to that. But save this nonsense about just wanting to take care of your family. It’s insulting to those of us who are trying to do the same on less than $49 million.
