“I’ll watch the highlights every now and then but, as far as watching the game, I feel like I am the game,” Owens says.
If they’re always looking to put on a show then they should go into the entertainment business. If they enjoy the drama and being the center of attention then they need to join the Soap Operas.
If none of those sound appealing then shut up and play the game. Do your job as a professional athlete, and hey, while you’re at it, act like a professional. You’ve got plenty of examples, good ones, around you who can teach you how to be one.
It certainly is interesting that athletes can have two different personalities. Says Owens, “A lot of people think I’m stuck up. Pretty much that I’m arrogant. I only do that when on the field.”
Why? Why is it so hard to carry one over into the other?
Some will say that they get competitive on the field and they’re just being who they are but it just seems hard to believe that they can’t find a way to be the good guy, the one easy to root for.
Or maybe they don’t want fans? Or do they feel the need to live up to a reputation and act a certain way?
Either way, they make it hard for us to look at all the good things they do when they’re constantly writing headlines with the bad.
