In this remarkably candid book, the NFL's most colorful and
controversial athlete tells his own Philadelphia story.
Terrell Owens joined the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2004 season
hoping to help the Eagles win the Super Bowl. The Eagles almost did
it, losing a close game to the New England Patriots. TO expected to
have a long and productive career in Philadelphia. But less than
halfway through the 2005 season it all fell apart. TO was
suspended, first for a game, then for the season, as the Eagles
blamed him for a variety of infractions.
Now TO speaks out about what really happened in Philadelphia. He
takes readers behind the scenes -- and into the huddle -- to show
how he was unfairly blamed for conduct detrimental to his team.
After setting an Eagles record for touchdown receptions, TO was
badly injured late in the 2004 season. Most observers thought his
season was over. But TO put himself through a grueling rehab, which
he describes here, to recover in time to join his teammates in the
Super Bowl, turning in a remarkable performance. Convinced that the
Eagles could win it all in 2005, TO became only the sixth receiver
in NFL history with 100 touchdown receptions. He explains in "T.O."
how and why his relationship with Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb
deteriorated. The situation worsened when TO agreed with Michael
Irvin that the Eagles would be better off with Brett Favre as their
quarterback. A fight in the team locker room, where an injured TO
had to defend himself, caused further friction. Before long he was
suspended from the team for the entire season. TO contested his
suspension and took his case before an arbitrator. In this book TO
brings readers into the hearing room and shows how unfair the
arbitrator's precedent-setting decision really was. The decision
was so wrong that even the NFL agreed to pass a rule specifically
reversing it.
But "T.O." is a story of triumph and dedication. TO never lost
his commitment to the game, and whenever he had the chance, he
performed like the sensational athlete he is. He knew he would play
again, and his faith was rewarded when he signed a three-year, $25
million contract with the Dallas Cowboys prior to the 2006 season.
Throughout his ordeal, TO remained true to himself, the same
outsized personality who has rocked the NFL and become a football
superstar.
