Terrell Owens Making a Much-Anticipated Return to San Francisco in April

Mar 25, 2015 at 12:10 PM--


Terrell Owens had a great run with the San Francisco 49ers, becoming an All-Pro wide receiver and providing the fans with an indelible memory as he caught the game-winning touchdown in a thrilling Wild Card playoff victory over the Packers in 1999. Unfortunately, the relationship fizzled and Owens and the Niners parted ways after the 2003 season. Owens continued his prolific career with stops in Philadelphia, Dallas, Buffalo, and Cincinnati, but his eight seasons in the Bay Area cemented his legacy and his place in 49ers history.

After all these years, Owens is back in San Francisco and ready to open up about his experiences. His appearance is part of an event series put on by the Thuzio Executive Club (TEC), which is beginning operations in San Francisco with this April 20 dinner and Q&A moderated by Larry Krueger. TEC has been holding events such as this in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, and already has plans in place for their second San Francisco event on May 18 with Tim Hardaway and Mitch Richmond, celebrating the legend of Run TMC.

TEC is a platform that provides members and their guests access to memorable business events featuring pro athletes, coaches and sports personalities. At the same time, Thuzio Executive Club gives these sports celebrities the chance to tell their stories to an audience of business people as opposed to the usual sports fan crowd.

The upcoming event in San Francisco featuring the controversial and always entertaining Owens at Morton's Steakhouse will feature a Q&A session plus cocktails and dinner. Thuzio Executive Club members and their guests can ask the loquacious Owens about anything from "The Catch II," to his gallant performance in Super Bowl XXXIX for the Eagles, to how his behavior on and off the field effected NFL teams' interest in signing him.

Last November, Owens appeared at a similar event for Thuzio Executive Club in Philadelphia, another of his former NFL homes. Other past Thuzio Executive Club events have featured the likes of Lawrence Taylor, Roger Clemens, Brian Leetch, Dick Vermeil, Terrell Davis, Allan Houston, CC Sabathia, Jeremy Roenick, Joe Theismann and Christian Laettner.

"Members of Thuzio Executive Club and their guests can expect the most interesting business evening of the year, each time," said Mark Gerson, who is co-founder and chairman of the Gerson Lehrman Group and co-founded Thuzio in 2012 with former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber. "The combination of stories that yield enduring lessons directly from the top talent in the sport, the congregation of business leaders at each event, and the ambiance create an experience that our members and their guests remember for months that follow."

Thuzio Executive Club appears to be thriving as it currently plans on expanding to Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. But first they'll be looking to make a great impression on the people in San Francisco with events featuring prominent Bay Area sports figures Terrell Owens, Tim Hardaway, and Mitch Richmond.

Latest PFF mock draft has 49ers making surprise pick in Round 1

The San Francisco 49ers focused on defense in free agency but still have several needs heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. The team did not address the offensive line, and it's a safe bet they will do so with some rookie selections next month. The Niners could also continue bolstering things on the defensive side of the football. Adding to the defensive back, defensive line, or linebacker groups remains possibilities. Pro Football Focus analyst Brad Spielberger released his latest mock draft and doesn't have the 49ers drafting at any of those positions. Instead, he has the team adding a bit of an insurance policy on offense, drafting former Georgia wide receiver

According to general manager John Lynch, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward wasn't the sole player to undergo core muscle surgery this offseason.

However, the silver lining is that both players are expected to be fully cleared for training camp, set to commence at the end of July.

49ers Notebook: Crucial offseason for Purdy; O-line confidence; Shanahan on new kickoff rule, Dobbs signing; Hufanga eyes training camp return

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn't have to field as many quarterback questions as he did a year ago after Brock Purdy underwent surgery, the arrival of Sam Darnold, and the uncertainty surrounding the future of Trey Lance. The quarterback situation is clearer now than it has been in recent years. For Purdy, this offseason holds significant importance. It marks the first time he can focus on on-field improvement during minicamps, OTAs, and training camp. While he had this opportunity as a rookie in 2022, he was buried on the depth chart, limiting his practice reps. Last year, Purdy was still recovering from surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. He didn't get to throw to his teammates until training camp in
