*It’s hard to believe someone with as much talent and public appeal as Terrell Owens doesn’t have a job.
The unsigned (former) NFL player admits life has been a little depressing for him, as he’s out of work, in court with all four of his baby’s mama, along with him fitting in the margins of the rest of unemployed America.
In an exclusive interview with GQ magazine, the athlete admits to being riddled down by life and even said he’s thought about suicide.
On top of being probably the industry’s most talented unemployed player, T.O. doesn’t get out much anymore either. Life is a little lonely and sort of repeats itself day-to-day.
But to keep himself busy, he works out three times a day, keeping that very attractive six pack in shape and body conditioned for that moment when the phone rings for an interview.
He’s 38, was injured on the knee and had surgery. Could that be the reason no one will even ask for a workout?
T.O. doesn’t think that’s the problem anymore, if it ever was. And he may be right.
“It’s not his knee that’s the problem; it’s his attitude,” says an executive at one of the better teams, who didn’t want to be named. The ratio that once made it worth it for owners to sign him—two parts genius to two parts trouble—has shifted now that he is not quite as fast, his body not as reliable. “He may have been less openly divisive with the Bengals,” the exec continues, “but you can’t live down the destruction of all those years. With T.O., no matter how brilliant he can be on the field, the dark side is always lurking. You don’t know which T.O. you’re going to get, and no one is comfortable risking that.”
Via TheYBF, here are some other highlights
On being lonely
“I don’t have no friends. I don’t want no friends. That’s how I feel.”
On baby momma regrets
He says, “If there’s anything I’m sorry about, it’s getting involved with all that.” He added that he never dated any of the four women he impregnated…mostly they were “repeat offenders.” He resents them for suing him for more child support money as he’s going broke.
On his big fallout with Mo and Kita
He says he missed Monique and Kita whom he stopped speaking to after 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?”
Poor T.O.
Check out the extensive article here.
Watch behind the scenes footage from the interview and photo shoot:
He’s needs a serious intervention before he hits the padded room. He brought all of what he is going through on himself. He needs to stop pointing the finger at everyone.
T.O. is a train wreck. Always crying like a bitch.
Why doesn’t he play arena football, or even better, in the Canadian Football League?
He needs to dump that Rosenhaus guy who got all those people to steal his money.
“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.”
Whateva.
They robbed you blind, TO.
Now this is one stupid n&%$*#!. Poor Terrrr’ell. Worse, these ladies hooked up with one othe the brokest “professional” players . . . . . .IN ANY LEAGUE!!!!!!! . I’d laugh but, I have to pay my Target and USAA bill.
Sorry ladies and gentlemen, I for one do not feel sorry for him. Me, me, me, me, me, that’s all he’s about, and will ever be about, that was his thing when he played for the NFL, me, me, me. Get a job like every working American, support your children, and if you date a girl and don’t want more kids, wear a damn raincoat, and keep it moving. Belive me all, this isn’t the last you will hear from T.O or Totally Obnoxious, or Totally Overated, Totally Oblivious, etc.

I’m not gonna kick you while you down, T.O.- there’s not a person on the planet who hasn’t made some, uh, less than favorable decisions, we all have…life is a Divinely planned series of lessons, bruh. Keep your head up and re-connect with The Creator Who is way, way closer than you might think. Not only that, you’ve got angels (Guardian Angels, Spirit Guides and Archangels), too, but you’ve got to ask them for help being that we all have free will – they do not interfere (sp). Most importantly, now that all the fakers and sack-chasers have dwindled away – that’s how it goes down, man – also use this period to get re-connected with You. Peace…
“Resent the baby mama’s! ” “They were all just repeat offenders” PLEASE didn’t you have enough sense to stop somewhere and buy a box of condoms good grief.! Now not only are you suffering the consequences of being STUPID the children are probably going to suffer too! (for you being stupid) I’m sorry I am not joining the pity party for you because you are clearly you are your own worse enemy.The baby mama’s probably are now calling you a TRICK!
Great post, t.eye. KARMA!
