Am I Wrong?…
Posted by VeRonda Wicks September 30th, 2009So, I love T.O… Period.
Hubby and I have the best, drag-out arguments about my professed love. In fact, we just had one a couple days ago. Now, listen… its not shallow by any means (You know, the stereotypical wife love for an athlete because of his jersey’s snug fit.). No, I am a real fan of Terrel Owens. I think he’s a great athlete and one of the best receivers who ever played the game. He’s dedicated to his craft, he’s passionate, and he’s extraordinarily gifted. He wants to win. He has the swagger to match and he just inspires me when he touches the field (especially with those catches across the middle).

This season, T.O. achieved what no other player has in the NFL and that is scoring a touchdown against every team… Uh, to which Hubby says, “You know why? Because of all the teams he’s played for so he’s had an unfair advantage” (Hubby, you’re such a hater!! Gosh!). Hubby thinks I just love bad boys in general… (Hmmm… This is the same conversation when he brings up how much I like Bobby Brown and Dennis Rodman [Whatever, don't judge me!]). Look, who doesn’t black out every once and a while? T.O. has his moments and so does every other superstar athlete (I think its in their nature.).
Now with the Buffalo Bills, my thing is, what’s wrong with admiring (a.k.a ‘loving’) a player who encompasses the position in which he plays? I mean, what off-the-field antics have you heard about T.O. (No, he didn’t try to kill himself.)? He’s not one of these knuckle head superstar athletes who starts fights in clubs, rapes women, or shoots himself. And, the media… don’t get me started with the media. Even Deion Sanders (former superstar player/current analyst) says the media’s questions are posed to setup T.O. to “react”.
I’m just saying… Whether he’s with the Boys (Dallas Cowboys, that is… for the NFL-challenged) or the Bills, T.O. can depend on me being a fan. Wait… in the heat of husband/wife battle I don’t bring up Hubby’s secret love crush on Angelina Jolie, do I? And, uh, she doesn’t even, well uh… Okay, she’s not too bad of a crush to have either.
Am I wrong?…

Some people sense all communication is meaningful. To have manny “what if” moments is to wonder how things coulf have been. WHen you choose to express how you think and feel in moment, than experience is very different.

Hey Liara… I think T.O. has had many of these moments and I’m not sure what, if anything, he regrets but I think everyone should have the opportunity to just be. Rules are hilarious in that they’re not the same for everyone. Thanks for your visit.

T.O.? Really? Bleh. Not a fan of TO. lol. Have you done a post on Ochocinco yet? lol. Good Lord.
Did anyone ever tell you your verification thing is a pain? lol. It hates me.

Hey Sheila. Yes, T.O.! I’ve been trying to keep it a secret with all the issues looming, but I just can’t any longer. It was time for me to take a stand. And Ochocinco, yeah no!… Now, that’s someone I’m not a big fan of. Unlike Ocho, T.O. doesn’t just decide to stop being a superstar player b/c he’s unhappy. Yeah, maybe he blacks out on the play calls and the quarter backs passing decisions, but hey, you can’t have it all.
And no, no one has mentioned anything to me about the verification thing. But, I will look into most haste b/c I’m a fan of your visits. See you soon…

I loves me some T.O. can we share?
October 1st, 2009 at 11:45 am
TO..TO..TO… Oh my V… where do I begin. Ok I agree, TO is a wonderful talent on the field… BUT he is a virus in the club house man… Do you really want that on your team.. I cant speak for Buffalo yet, but if you look at his past actions he as infected and split locker rooms in San Fran, Philly and Dallas (could care less about Dallas, but I’ll save that for another blog
)
Now dont get me wrong, the media did try to bait him into saying something during his last post game interview. And I was quite impressed how he handled it. Has he matured??… Time will tell
I guess to sum it up.. give me TO on the field but dont bring him into my locker room… Lets see how long it takes for him to spread his own version of H1N1 in Buffalo.

T.O., huh? Whatta character! Fortunately for him he has the talent to back up his insane antics. He’s a smart businessman and realized that being outrageous is how you get paid. Ask Dennis Rodman! Asks Bobby Brown – he got paid when he married Whitney!
Nonetheless, T.O. has taken the talent God has given him and worked it until he is now considered one of the best that ever played. His style of antics does not endear him to others and many of his teammates but his work ethic is recognized and his performance is undeniable. He is smart enough to realize that being a fool is what gets you paid.
Compare his stats to Marvin Harrison’s stats and other top receivers. Then look at the salaries. T.O. makes more due to the insaine noise he’s made over his career. If he was quiet, his coins would not be as great and he would not have a reality TV show. Have you seen Harrison’s TV show? He was a quiet, humble, highly productive professional with better stats than T.O. and he didn’t make the coin of T.O. There’s something to be said about hard working fools – unfortunately.

I thought you were talking about Toronto! We always call it T.O.
Angelina Jolie? What?? Did you see how skinny she is lately? Who would want that stick and bones?
October 2nd, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Joanna… Yeah, I guess it’ll be okay. LOL! Superstars are accustomed to being shared. Thanks for the visit.
David, I don’t even know where to begin to respond to your comment. At least we agree about his performance. A virus? Really? Some of the players in the locker room even say he’s fine… just one of the guys. And in what locker room is everyone in love with everyone else? It’s not reality. What’s reality is that the person with the talent likes to win and make everyone get their game up, too. Now, would you want Jordan on your team back in the day? Yes, you would… but guess what, most of all the Bulls’ players said he wasn’t liked in the locker room. Probably only Scottie liked him. I’m sure I’ll see you ’round these parts soon…
Kid, you’re hilarious! All I’m saying is that people decide to put a other people in a certain box and for some reason you can never get out of that box… and don’t have a bad day, well then those people say see he is that box. You know? And yep, whether you like the way he does it, he does it. He gets the contracts, he gets the attention, and now a television show. I just hope people with the power see what he’s contributed to the game and don’t overlook him for Hall of Fame time.
Jannie… That’s a crack up!! No, I haven’t seen how thin she is. I think it’s those lips that get him, you know? LOL!

Listen… don’t be a hater on Angelina. Hubby just became my friend.

Hey Doug! Where have you been?? And there’s no haters here… I’m just saying.
