Terrell Owens isn’t exactly a hot commodity right now. His visit to Cincinnati was delayed by a day and then the team signed Antonio Bryant to a long-term deal. T.O. is still without a team and now he may be forced to take whatever he can get. That may include a stint with the Raiders.

The T.O. Show is coming to Cincinnati this week. Terrell Owens is looking for a new team and the Bengals came calling. He may be the first player to visit the Bengals that offseason that doesn’t have a criminal record. Owens will join Antonio Bryant on a visit today.

Terrell Owen’s attempt to “show the real Terrell to the world” has gone horribly wrong. His show has managed to make him look like more of a baby and has brought more criticism to 81. In an interview with Essence.com, the Bills receiver defended himself from claims that he doesn’t have interest in black women. In his words: “if I were to reveal the Black females I’ve dated, the women who are accusing me of that would be surprised.” Right. Later in the interview, he claims that the only criticism that bothers him is when people say his show is scripted. Unsurprisingly, the real Terrell is… shallow.

OWENS: Not at all. Black women I do love you. Honestly, if I were to reveal the Black females I’ve dated, the women who are accusing me of that would be surprised. I’ve had a lot of Black women hit me up on Twitter accusing me of not liking my own kind and all I have to say is that they are thinking too much. These women don’t know me like that to have something negative to say about the women I date. Perhaps I have a certain type of woman that I like and a preference and I shouldn’t be faulted for that. And for the record, I’m very familiar with headscarves because my grandmother wore them. I was just saying to Kiya that the women I date don’t wear them because it’s the truth. If I’m dating a Black woman and we hang out it doesn’t mean she’s sleeping over, so I might never see her in a headscarf. Again, I think some women are thinking too much about this because I love Black women.ESSENCE.COM: Is there any criticism that bothers you?
OWENS: It ticks me off when people try to say that my show is scripted. What I went through with my grandmother that wasn’t easy for me because she is my everything and I’d do anything for her. I’d sit behind bars for her with all that she’s done for me and helped me gain so much on and off the field. I was truly overwhelmed. I didn’t see cameras because there was nothing but pure love there. All I saw was my grandmother and her telling me about different things in life and I saw me as young boy with my grandmother. I know when my grandmother said everything was going to be fine that that was God’s confirmation through her to let me know keep moving on because He’s all powerful. So no matter what my critics say, this show is far from fake.
Terrell Owens showed up to training camp today and even managed to generate excitement without pissing anybody off. The newly obedient Terrell Owens wowed fans with his receiving skills… and his attire. Terrell decided that the shorts common among players in training camp were not for him. T.O. opted for an outfit comprised of tights only. The reality star was not fazed by his form-fitting clothes and gave interviews in the tights as well. I know it’s not that different than wearing a football uniform. However, I still find it excessive.
Via ESPN:
Fans began chanting “T.O.! T.O.!” the second Owens was spotted emerging from the locker room to take the field five minutes before the start of practice. They cheered Owens every time he made a catch — and even the time he didn’t after bobbling a ball out of bounds. And the loudest applause came when quarterback Trent Edwards hit Owens for what would’ve been a 60-yard touchdown pass in the middle of the afternoon session.
Owens returned the love by flashing an occasional smile as well as peace signs toward the stands. And he couldn’t stop laughing when one fan, 32-year-old Steven Lasek, held up a box of ‘T.O’s’ and began yelling, “This cereal is delicious.”
I’m a reality TV buff (read: huge loser) and I’m also a sports fan. When I heard Terrell Owens had a show on VH1, I knew that I had to watch it. So I did. I’m not really sure how to feel about it yet. One thing that’s certain: the format is confused. It’s part docu-reality, part Cribs, part Rock of Love, and mostly inane. The T.O. Show has potential but the first episode was less-than-entertaining.
Page Six reported today that Terrell Owens has been seeing model Jessica White. Here’s the excerpt:
DOES Terrell Owens have a new squeeze? The recently signed Buffalo Bills wide receiver has been spotted in Los Angeles and Buffalo with upstate New York native and Maybelline model Jessica White. “She’s in the trailer for his new VH1 show, and they’re always out together,” says a spy. A close friend of White con firmed that the pair are dating. A rep for Owens declined to comment.
However, I claim that this is trash. This isn’t a post about how I think T.O. is gay. Although, he may be. Instead, here’s some information that will debunk the Page Six story.
