Why are we not surprised? I remember a car ride back from Dodger stadium about year ago, when the Terrell Owens situation was just beginning with the Eagles and Donovan McNabb, Alikat and I speculated that the only explanation for his Owens’ behavior was that he had real, serious mental issues. I think I said something like, “Sad isn’t it that he is so spectacularly talented and so immensely fucked up.” We hope he’s able to get the help he needs.
UPDATE:
The the official story has changed. According to T.O., he didn’t actually want to take a permanent timeout from life.
Again, we’re not surprised.
Owens is a man who needs a lot of help. We hope that Parcells and team officials, other Cowboys, and those around him will not, like Dan Le Retard, let this go just because T.O. says he’s fine (just because Owens is open about his history of self-destructiveness doesn’t make him any less self-destructive), and that they are brave enough to confront him get him the help he needs.
