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.”
