The tricky business of defending Terrell Owens | Bob Ford

It has always been consistent that defending Terrell Owens away from the football field is just as difficult as it was to defend him when he was on it.

Putting up with T.O.’s unending nonsense wears out his potential supporters as relentlessly as he wore out the cornerbacks and safeties assigned to keep him from catching passes during 15 NFL seasons.
