Recently I read the book TO by Terrell Owens with Jason Rosenhaus. The book is written by Terrell Owens, otherwise known as "TO", to tell the media his side of the conflict between him and the Philadelphia Eagles organization. It all starts when Terrell and the team's quarterback Donovan McNab get in a minor dispute, but the two strong personalities go at it for the remainder of the season and manage to drag the head coach Andy Reid into it. The trouble only gets bigger when the media continues to accuse Terrell of different things like faking an injury, and starting a fight with a teammate. Things continue to plummet down when Terrell feels he deserves more money than he is making and the Eagles management disagree.
I thought the book was good, but may have been exaggerated a bit from what really happened. Terrell Owens obviously wrote this book to defend his case against the Eagles and you can tell by how he writes. Nevertheless I looked forward to reading this book every night before I went to bed. The book was intended for an audience of hardcore football fans who keep up with what's going on in the NFL. I specifically like the fact that it was about a sport that I enjoy to watch and follow, but I didn't like the fact that he wrote this book only to defend himself against the media.
This book can bring up very controversial sports topics, but it will most likely be enjoyed by many people who take the time to read it. Out of five stars I give it four stars because I always wanted to know what happened next and how he handled all of these conflicts surrounding him to just go out and do what he does best, play football.
Professional sports is a very hard thing to deal with and this book really give you an idea about what these athletes have to go through. I recommend this book for anyone interested in professional football.

The best way to destroy sales is for the "author" to blast portions of the book.

In the follow-up to the commercially successful Catch This!, Terrell Owens has said there are erroneous passages in T.O. Because of that comment, it brings into question the validity of the entire book.

Love him or hate him, Owens is a pop culture phenomenon and that may be why Simon & Schuster rushed to print a second autobiography. I can only guess that Owens was not happy with the project and decided to tank sales by ripping the finished product.

Within the proper context I am sure Owens has a ton of interesting things to say. The line of children's books slated for release may be the venue for Owens to make a positive and lasting impression with fans.

This book was very informative. In his book TO explains how the media edits anything he says. In some parts he tends to say the same thing multiple times, but overall it's an easy read.

Read this book with an open mind. Otherwise, don't bother in reading.

I read TO's first book and found it mildly entertaining in the spirit of a celebrity athlete autobiography/biography. This second book is incredibly repetitive with respect to TO's point of view and the overarching style is "whining". The entire book is repetitive whining.

Terrell Owens does a remarkable job in his second book. This clears up the controversy that surrounded his season long suspension from the Philedelphia Eagles and lets read the side story that the media would not tell.

PG.75 I don't like the way that people say that T.O. is bad. But when he gets on a team has very successful. He makes awesome play and game braking decisions he is an all-round great player

PG.87 T.O. helps carry the Philadelphia eagles to the super bowl. He made 5 catches and one T.D. catch he had a great game knowing that he had a tweaked ankle. I bet he was in really bad pained

PG.100 T.O. played the whole super bowl with metal plated in his ankle. Like to days after the super bowl it was time to get them out and right before he went in to surgery he told the doctor that he want the metal plate for a silvaner and the doctor said ok. So I five day later he went home and look at the plates and they were not his plates looked brand new.

PG110 He says that most young player should say home with there familys and relaex. I think that,that is good to do so thay can do stuff like that to not make the player so tight

PG.120 T.O says that he doesn't have to do any work out that just natural and that is no a good mesiage to send to people that are trying to get to the NFL. Because if you are trying to do a walk on then you have to work really hard to work out and get a lot better

The man is 30 and still acts like he is in high school.

TO is the man! He really stands out in the top of his game. What an arrogant jackass, the person who downtalks TO. He's the man!

Jake, the reviewer, makes a good point about TO's love for Nathan Lane. Very surprising, but very true!

MC White said: It sucked, but read it anyway.

Are you kidding me? This guy is so far out to lunch. Read it for a laugh.

"These are my words, straight from me to you". "Oh, but I did not say heroic even though it's in the book." That pretty much sums it up. More of the same stuff T.O. would like us to believe about him that still doesn't add up when you see his antics and selfish attitude.
