Well This Should Be…Interesting?
Tonight marks the debut of VH1’s The T.O. Show, which promises to offer a more intimate look at Terrell Owens with the help of his co-stars Monique Jackson and Kita Williams. The two publicists share the unenviable task of trying to humanize the NFL’s preeminent diva as he searches for love, happiness, and a place to live in the vast wasteland that is Buffalo.
As much as I want to dismiss the show as more tripe from an obnoxious personality and an unwatchable network I maintain a slight sliver of hope that this could be worthwhile. How long it takes them to quash that hope is anyone’s guess.
Consider this an open-thread to discuss the episode. I’ll post my running commentary in the morning, assuming I don’t swallow a bottle of hydrocodone to numb my disappointment.
In other TO news, guess who has a new cereal? That’s right, now you can start your day with a big bowl of TO’s (”Flesh-Eating Bacteria In Every Box!”), the most generic Buffalo Bill endorsed cereal since Flutie Flakes!
Other programming note of interest: Tonight is the season finale of Spike TV’s 4th and Long hosted by Michael Irvin. I’d make a joke about being all excited to find which player will win the honor of being cut by the Cowboys after the second day of training camp, but Ufford beat me to it.

I didn’t know someone could take a picture of Brady Quinn’s dreams.

Off topic: I may be the only person who actually reads Chad Ocho Cinco’s Twitter, but is anyone else seeing this shit? He’s arguing with his followers over whether Michael Vick is the best quarterback there is. I don’t think I need to tell you which side of the argument Chad has taken.

That’s an intense shit stare he has going.

See, everyone? I told you UM wasn’t dead.

That old whore from Desperate Housewives should be in the picture with him like that night on MNF.

July 20th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
So which one of these crazy bitches on the show do you think will kill T.O.?
July 20th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
These women are always pissed off and they state how they are pissed off…*clicks to wrestling* Hey it’s Chris Jericho..

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they’re watching The Hills???
July 20th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Alopecia, or Jagged Metal Krusty O’s? Which is T.O. more likely to be associated with??
/conflicted between gratuitous AD references and gratuitous Simpsons references
July 20th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
cosign Smitty. Everything about TO is fake, which is a good thing. Nobody wants to know what his real life is like.

Every time I see that picture I think about when Terminators arrive naked after traveling through time. Because, I’m a dork, you see.

At least we know T.O.’s player game is strong. One minute he’s tagging a chubby Asian in the hot tub and then the 2 wenches that are his handlers set him up to go out with the Asian girl he used to tag.

Wow, glad I watched No Reservations in Australia.

@j4b: Nah bra, I can’t legitimately argue that. I am excited for the season though.
But I’m more concerned with why there hasn’t been any talk of the Erin Andrews video. Or did I miss it?
July 21st, 2009 at 10:04 am
I think the geeks on deadspin talked about the EA video.
