Terrell Owens: Shirtless, Nearly Broke!
Terrell Owens, impossibly taut at age 38, poses shirtless in the new GQ.
In addition to losing his shirt, he reveals that he lost nearly $80 million in career earnings. Now out of football and running out of money, he appears desperate.
When people text him to ask where he is these days, Owens replies back: "I'm in hell." Sad to hear that anyone feels that way. But is it his own fault?
Terrell Owens blames the media for not giving him a chance to rehab his injury, and blames agent Drew Rosenhaus for not protecting him from a bad business deal.
Owens earned around $80 million in his NFL career, but has found himself in deep financial trouble, despite never spending lavishly. How does that happen exactly?
It's not a matter of having lived too large, he insists. While he indeed racked up a few homes that milliond, the issue, he says, was being loyal and trusting to a fault.
Owens said financial advisers recommended by Rosenhaus lost his money in highly leveraged (some borderline illegal) ventures and the housing market collapse.
"I hate myself for letting this happen," Owens told GQ. "I believed that they had my back when they said, 'You take care of the football, and we'll do the rest.'"
"And in the end, they just basically stole from me."
It's a sad tale, but this is also a guy with four baby mamas and no job - can't blame your financial advisers for that - and whose brash self-absorption is unparalleled.

These shytskyns like Z-RO think they're real tough guys until they come across someone who doesn't take any of their sh@t.Let him come out to the midwest and try some of his crap..he'd find that the white boys out here not only do not fear him but would kick his a-s,turn his ass into a shoe shine boy and put the jigatard to work.KFC is hiring...he hates it everyday looking in the mirrror and seeing he's BLACK LOL.

Cheer up T.O. You can make it again if you try. Maybe not 80-mil, but enough to live comfortably and take care of your kids. You don't have to be filthy rich to live well! Just make sure you handle your own money, and sign all checks!

@DRu- What Cripples you Blacks is the FACT that you never call a useless black person out like TO! Never! Yet- you will scream Racism against whites in a Heartbeat! This in itself is why Whites have no use for you- we don't Trust you nor do you do us. You take the Black side every Fucking time- And life goes on and on.

Racest hate is so funny!What a sorry existence you raciest haters have. not all "Blacks" are like T.O. but most raciest views like the ones expressed on this page come from illiterate people that don't know how ignorant there parents are yet along themselves. Quit putting every black person in the same category to make you feel better about your sorry lives. All black men do not blame white people, have tons of children, or care about conforming to your lame views. T.O. had, has, and will have again! Get yours, and stop hating. It's so stupid !

Blame Drew the Jew. Do any of these moron athletes realize that they are organ grinder monkeys for slick Jews.Man up T.O. I am sure Donovan is to blame for puking on your feet in huddle at Superbowl also.Why don't you teach some of your chidrin not to trust WHITEY. Greeks ,Koreans Vietnamese, Indians ,Irish,Poleish and the list goes on. All these immigrants can make it in this country but blacks have been here 400 years and are still victims. When you fools realize knocking up some young groupie does not make you a man. START TO THINK FOR YOURSELVES AND QUIT TRYING TO ENTERTAIN US.

Reed, you are so right. How can anyone feel sorry for this black asshole? What kind of stupid illiterate fool can spend/lose $80 million? That's insane. Typical black behavior. Blacks are always blaming their problems on others. Well, this asshole needs to realize this is a bad economy and white people are struggling to make ends meet, so he better get his ass over to Walmart, McDonalds or the local gas station to try and get himself a job rather than spending his days working on his 6-pack abs. No one cares about you now, Terrell, you are now just another poor unemployed black man. Welcome to the real word!
