Either way, it should also be pointed out that while Busch has problems being the good boy on the track he does plenty of things off it.
He donated money to an ailing star of the Nationwide Series after tying the man's single season wins record, and he regularly contributes to charities and makes many trips to participate in events. But somewhere between there and the race track he changes personalities.
He’s the T.O. of NASCAR. So what about the T.O. of the NFL?
Owens, just like Busch, has created his own celebrations for when he scores a touchdown. He’s used the football as a pillow, autographed it and occasionally spiked it.
Last season, in wake of the New England Patriots “Spy Gate” he hid behind the goal post and used the football as a camera and as entertaining as it was, he would later be fined for his actions.
He once danced with a cheerleader’s pom-poms and dumped popcorn in his face. But everyone remembers when he ran out to the Dallas Cowboys star not once but twice while playing for the San Francisco 49ers.
The second time he was knocked on his ass by a Cowboys player. It's one of the most viewed and popular clips on YouTube.
Owens had accomplished what he set out to do: get a reaction.
And just like Busch and many other athletes, he doesn’t take well to losing. And you can count on the fact that Owens will always seem to make it about him.
He calls out his quarterback and teammates, saying if he gets the ball then they’ll win. After being knocked out of the playoffs in 2007 he attempted to cry while talking to reporters.
However, those were fake tears and he played it up as much as he could by wearing Elvis-like sunglasses…inside.
Sure, he was probably upset, but he milked it for all it's worth.
Once again, he was looking for a story, and he wanted to be the headline.
Just as he’s doing this season by running his mouth on the side-line and accusing people of stiffing him. He must not realize they’re other players out on the field.
Ironically, off the field he too contributes to charity, and is an entirely different person then the one whom charges through the tunnel each game day.
That’s the similarities between these two, they could have been separated at birth...or maybe not. They’re too young, too rich and too fast and they want too much attention.
They demonstrate how some people just don’t know how to handle all of that. That comes from being egotistical, “ME” attitude athletes.
