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.”

Although it was a fake situation, TO actually was very helpful to a van of elderly people on the MTV show punk’d.

If it was in Philly, the car would have turned around and got Owens, too.

Did Sam Alipour check his wallet? T.O. owes the Eagles a lot of $$$ - that’s like $778,000 less reasons to live!

Wow, the surprising part to me is not that T.O. may be a little bit human. Very selfish, sure, but not evil.
The surprising part is him doing this after getting taken in that Punk’d episode a few years back. Maybe thats why he took off so fast, though maybe it was fake again

I’ve seen T.O. in person, he’s nice as anyone you could meet. If it wasn’t for a nightmare childhood and Drew F. Rosehaus, he’d have been fine…
As for the medic, I hope if I’m ever in need, I get a medic smart enough to know that things you see on ESPN are b.s. For a medic, this guy’s an idiot.

Good story about TO. I am not a fan at all but I hate that he gets lumped in with the Packman Jones of the league. He has never been involved in all of the garbage going on in the NFL. He is an attention whore and has no qualms about that.

One day he’s checking out a porno shoot, the next he’s a hero. He loves the attention and is a pain to listen to but the fact remains that he is an elite wideout on gameday. And that’s all that really matters.

T.O. took off once he realized it wasn’t Peter King, but instead was just some dude that writes for “Page 2″ on ESPN…

I also think TO gets more negative attention than he deserves. His only problem is that he doesn’t know when to shut his mouth. He’s a hell of a football player under a rat of an agent.

My favorite shirt of T.O.’s is the one that has his Mama on it. He should wear it more often.

Are we sure he didn’t take off when a medic showed up so he could loot his prescriptions out of the ambulance?
