OK I'll Say It!

Many people may be thinking it and maybe even the Associated Press /Sports Illustrated is hinting at it:
DALLAS (AP) -- Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened, according to a police report obtained Wednesday.
Emphasis added.

The word "flamboyant" when used to describe a male entertainer is often code for homosexual. Pro sports is often described as an entertainment business. Could it be that it is being hinted at that Terrell Owens is gay? That's probably a stretch but you have to admit that it wouldn't be a far leap to make.

I'm often on guard against people who make allegations against others because often what the person is alleging is true of the person making the allegation. (And no I'm not gay - wiseass.) I'm referring to Owens trying out former teammate Jeff Garcia.

It is interesting that when asked if Garcia was gay Owens once said, "Like my boy tells me: 'If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.'" Obviously I don't know what Owens situation is but if that same smell test was applied to Owens - the explanation that he was struggling to come to grips with his own sexual orientation would go a long way in explaining Owens behavior.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
