T.O.: Portrait of Delusion

Terrell Owens, always ready to defend his honor, called into the sports radio station 610 WIP in Philadelphia Tuesday to confront host Howard Eskin for “talkin smack about him.” The short of it is that Owens was getting calls from [people he describes as] friends about Eskin talking about him on the show. The two clearly have had problems in the past and what results is 28 minuts and 24 seconds of Owens running in verbal circles. And it's great.

One highlight that I'll mention was when Eskin says to Owens, “Everywhere you go it becomes a problem.” To which Owens – truly baffled – responded, “What problems?!” Honestly, he was shocked. Owens has convinced himself that he has never been the cause of any problems anywhere. I sometimes wish I had that kind of self assurance - delusional or not.

I would love to transcribe the interview for you - I imagine it looking something like the interviews over at Kissing Suzy Kolber - but you can grab the whole thing at www.benmaller.com.
