ARTICLE: Terrell Owens, the good samaritan.

[superpunk]

The ESPY awards usually aren’t interesting enough to bother mentioning, but ESPN.com writer Sam Alipour has an interesting story about something that happened to him after the ESPYs.

Alipour writes that he was hit by a car as he left an ESPYs after-party, and the first person to rush to his aid afterward was a certain brash Cowboys wideout.

“Terrell Owens was standing over me,” Alipour writes. “I’m told he was the first do-gooder on the scene of the accident. That he helped me to my feet and off the street to safe ground. That he didn’t leave my side. It seems the mercurial Dallas Cowboys receiver is my hero.”

Alipour writes that Owens made sure he was OK and then took off, not attempting to attract any attention for his good deed. And he says the medic who treated him in the ambulance summed up his new opinion of Owens: “So, T.O. was nice, huh? Boy, you think you know somebody, but the media doesn’t tell you the whole story. You never know how they really are.”

That would have been so perfect ... a delirous Skip peering up into the night sky looking for help. And Owens stepping out of the shadows and picking Skip up the way Boo Radley picked up Scout in "To Kill A Mockingbird" and carrying his limp little body to safety.

love the "TKAM/Boo Radley" reference

Yeah, T.O. was on that show "Punked" and it was a staged accident that he got punked by.

When I read this, I thought the writer made a bit of a backhanded compliment there:

There's a good chance I could break down like T.O. at that news conference. (It's just not fair. That's my receiver, man.)

Maybe I'm being a bit overreactive, but if somebody did that for me what Owens did, I wouldn't take a jab at him.

I love it too, but it wasn't Scout who Boo Radley carried home. It was Jem.

Thought this was an interesting tidbit on T.O. at the Espy's.

I find it interesting that people still have such a negative view on him although I confess I was guilty of the same before he was with the Cowboys.

T.O. unfortunately always has to be proving himself.

I don't see it as unfortunate. It keeps him sharp.
