I loved the guy until he started acting stupid
Actually, I am old enough to remember exactly what happened. He got the reputation he got from the TD celebrations (the star and the Sharpie). People forget that. Before that, nobody in the media had a bad word to say about him. After those celebrations, they couldn't say enough bad things about him. That's where all the buzzwords you hear now about him originated. "Selfish, arrogant, diva, prima-donna, narcissistic"...all because he celebrated on Texas Stadium's star (if you ask me, f**k the Cowboys) and signed a ball with a freak'n Sharpie, which the guy he burned, Shawn Springs, thought was cool.
Here are what T.O.'s actual teammates have to say about him: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1584791-terrell-owens-a-great-teammate-players-and-coaches-defend-his-character
The pom poms, sharpies, popcorn, star incident never bothered me. It was throwing Garcia, and later McNabb, under the bus. The guy performed for sure but his classless exit here and the whole Ravens thing is what lingers. Oh and working out in his driveway lol.
