After the game against the Giants last Sunday, Terrell Owens was getting ready to fly west for his birthday party while the rest of the team was listening to their head coach. Now this wouldn’t be news if the player and coach that are involved weren’t two of the biggest names in the NFL: Terrell Owens and Bill Parcels. Everything these two do shows up in the paper and on TV, what we have here is the way media sells sports. Media jumps on top of the biggest sports and movie stars and ride them until they jump. By the meaning of jumping I’m talking about getting caught cheating, drinking and driving, being somewhere they shouldn’t be and the most famous quotes they give.
Terrell Owens gave himself a birthday party on the west coast, so after the Dallas Cowboys football game his mind was on the party and not listening to the biggest speech coach Parcels gave the team. Was he wrong for not paying attention, I will let you be the judge of that. Back to the question at hand is it the media fault or TO fault that this situation is even in the news?
