Terrell Owens Won't Be Fazed by Paternity Judge's Slam on Potential Comeback

Terrell Owens didn't play a single down of football this season in the NFL. He mildly attempted a comeback, but it was evident that his surgically repaired knee had not completely healed.

A year out of football and T.O.'s age could certainly end his chances of ever playing again. He knows this, but paternity judge Marc Marmaro just slapped Owens across the face with the cold truth himself.

According to all-seeing, all-hearing cameras of TMZ.com, Marmaro said, "His NFL career seems to be over. I mean no disrespect." The report then states that Owens nodded his head in acknowledgment.

For the sake of Owens, the judge's feelings are actually for the better. The receiver is currently involved in four paternity cases and doesn't have a job.

T.O.'s lawyer, according to the report, made it abundantly clear that he is a "man without a paycheck" right now.

Marmaro also threw another interesting tidbit into the T.O. free agency world by reportedly offering some sympathy. TMZ paraphrases it as:

"

The judge apparently felt sorry for the beleaguered parent, offering him a ray of hope by noting that Kurt Warner went from an Arena League player to a Super Bowl champ. There's a buzz that T.O. may get picked up by an Arena team.

"

If there is any buzz or truth to that at all, it will ultimately be for the best. Owens is a future Hall of Famer and one of the most physically gifted athletes to ever play in the league.

Should he go to the Arena League to showcase his health while the NFL hits the offseason, the only negative that can come of it is another injury.

Too many teams go through too many injuries for somebody to not take a chance a healthy Owens.

If T.O. wants to try to play in the NFL one more time and is healthy, he'll get his shot regardless of what some paternity judge thinks.

Until that time comes, though, what the paternity judge thinks is the only thing matters.
