Terrell Owens Has a Reality TV Show – NBC Sports Philadelphia

Over the past few years, the media coverage of the circus that is the career of Terrell Owens has been compared to a reality TV show quite a bit. Questioning the sexuality of his QB, begging for a trade, playing at an extraordinary level, questioning your next QB's heart (and guts), demanding more money one year after signing, doing situps during an impromptu press conference in his driveway, getting cut, then signing with his previous team's rival... who happens to be America's Team...

Then there was the pill overdose/attempted suicide report. That one had Real World Ruthie written all over it.

To no one's surprise, paradise was lost in Dallas too, with Owens questioning his offensive coordinator, and, big shock—his quarterback and some other teammates. Their would-be championship season ended short of the playoffs, and the only reports circulating lately involve him being cut again, so with less than a week before the Super Bowl, TO has taken the opportunity to grab the spotlight.

VH1 has teamed up with one of the most recognizable names and
personalities in sports — Terrell Owens — who will star in his own
reality show slated to premiere in the summer of 2009 on VH1.

The series follows one of the NFL’s biggest and most outspoken
stars, wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, Terrell “T.O.” Owens.  In
the series, T.O. will be shadowed in the off-season by his best friends
and publicists Monique Jackson and Kita Williams as they battle the two
sides of his large personality.  Viewers will discover that behind all
the braggadocio, emotional histrionics, and sculpted physique that is
the outspoken media magnet known to the world as “T.O.” — there is also
a quiet, sensitive, mild-mannered guy from Alexander City,
Alabama…that’s Terrell.

Well at least the football blogs will be guaranteed some easy material this summer. VH1 should probably just make each episode into a series of clipped, embeddable files right away and save us all the trouble.

Note: the publicists named do not include Kim Etheredge, the scary broad who grossly mishandled the overdose incident and was subsequently fired by TO. Now there's a candidate for a reality show.

Please, for the love of Mark Burnett, let this go horribly wrong and not just be some snoozefest.
