There is a story circulating the web that Terrell Owens was treated for an overdose the other day. Details are somewhat sketchy, but it sounds similar to his situation a couple of years ago.
T.O. is no different from so many other NFL players. What do you do after your career is over? What do you do the rest of your life after all of the cheering and adulation stops?
The NFL doesn't prepare its players for that. They are only beginning to see that they must take a greater role. So many players never finish their college degree and are left without any marketable skills. Only so many players can get into broadcasting.
The situation of T.O. is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many players who are also broken down physically by the time they are 35. That is another bad situation.
