Terrell Owens: Tweets for Child Support Debts Proves He Needs Desperately NFL

T.O. has not been signed by an NFL team and there three simple reasons why: age, knee and attitude. The only one of those things teams are sure about is Owens' age (he will turn 38 on December 7th).

The future hall of fame WR is in some hot water with the court system, and a double move won't get him open this time.

Owens has the odds stacked against him at a time where he desperately needs the league. In a league and environment that makes you pay for going against the grain, Owens is being made an example.

Recent reports have exposed a significant child support debt. Owens is claiming that he doesn't have the financial resources to pay what the courts are ruling. Yet, records were also obtained that Owens is making a substantial amount for tweeting.

Owens somewhat acknowledged that with this quote: "I tweet to pay my bills." The only logical explanation for this financial situation for a player that has made over $98 million over a 12-year NFL career, is exorbitant spending.

It belies a lack of self control, planning and foreshadowing of future accountability that runs parallel to Owens' behavior throughout his career.

T.O. burned bridges and turned people off in nearly every city he played in, and he never seemed to know when to turn it off.

That seems to be the way he has approached spending. I have always loved Owens, but if his career is over, this is a sad end.
