Terrell Owens Is An Olsen Twin

Terrell Owens Is An Olsen TwinAnybody know what the Olsen twins are doing these days? Of course you don’t, nobody does. The fact that they have disappeared off the face of the earth is a grim reminder to us all that even the brightest young stars fade away and die at some point. They had a great run, they lit up televisions in American living rooms for years with their antics as little Michelle. But things that great don’t last forever and eventually the girls grew older; their egos got the best of them. They grew too big for Bob Saget’s house and they made the biggest mistake of their lives, they thought they were too good to play the role that they were born to play.

And if you think about it, the same thing happened with Terrell Owens. He was once a young star just happy to be a part of a successful team, a lot like Mary-Kate and Ashley were on Full House. He dazzled fans with his on-field heroics while his older co-star Steve Young carried him through each game, similar to how Uncle Jesse did in every episode for the girls. Except instead of helping him with his lines, Steve threw him passes into triple coverage against the Packers.                

In fact, the careers of T.O. and the two girls parallel each other to an outrageous extent. Just like the Olsen twins, Terrell Owens burst onto the scene in San Francisco with a lot of promise. They all made some poor career choices along the way….. he talked trash about every Quarterback he ever played with and they made movies like It Takes Two. He made stops in Philly, Dallas, Buffalo and Cincinnati and they made stops in the recording studio and the fashion industry. All of which were mistakes for the parties involved.

And now as he rehabilitates the ACL that he tore while filming his reality show back in April, the same question arises about him that did with the Olsen’s when their career was winding down. Where did all the good times go? It seems like just yesterday he was pouring popcorn through his facemask, or pulling a sharpie out of his sock to sign a football, or doing one of his famous front yard workout interviews. In the end, like the Olsen twins, Terrell Owens became a sideshow, a shell of what he once was.

Yes, his career accolades indicate that he is a sure bet to make the Hall of Fame and should be Canton bound in his first year of eligibility. But the hope that he inspired and the promises he left unfulfilled have taken away from his legacy. It’s the least distinguished way of being distinguished but Terrell Owens will go down in the history books as “The Most Gifted Wide Receiver to Never Win a Super Bowl.” When we look back on the game of football around the time of the new millennium we will surely remember Terrell Owens. Will his antics and personality be the reason he is never forgotten or will fans think back and remember his playing days because he is the second greatest wide out of all time? Here is to hoping that he makes a speedy recovery and somehow convinces a team to take a flyer on him. If he pulls off a miracle and wins a Super Bowl, we will only remember him as the great player he was. He needs to do something that the Olsen Twins never did; he needs to go back to San Francisco.
