Product ReviewsCatch This! : Going Deep with the NFL's Sharpest Weapon by Stephen Singular and Terrell Owens (2004, Hardcover)

Think you know TO? Nope, not even close!

I'm a football fan, and for some reason, Terrell Owens has always caught my interest. This book is not your typical "I'm an athlete cashing in for a buck" book, though I suspect TO made a nickel or two on this one! It delves into the past of this superstar, highlighting his youth and his experiences along the way to becoming the person he is, and that's important here. This book opens up Terrell Owens, the person, along with TO, the star, and they are two very different people. Most poignant is his obvious love for his family, particularly his grandmother. You can feel his pain as he talks about her decline in health and how hard it has been for him to handle. He also has a no holes barred look at himself and his complex relationships, from Jeff Garcia, to his sideline altercation with Greg Knapp (yuk!) and more. This precedes the McNabb saga, so it's interesting to read and see the events that have made Terrell Owens "TO". There are two distinct personalities, and this is an intriguing insight into both of them. Definitely humanizes the man (teammate, father, son) and gives insight into his humble beginnings and his true love for people. Interesting and worth a glance--much more open than most "sports books"!Read full review...
