The T.O. Show Update: I cried. I cried some more.

Touching episode of T.O. Show this week, as Terrell Owens travels back to the STICKS (Alexander City, AL) to see his father, who abandoned him (sort of) during his youth.

T.O. shows his sensitive side, as he sits down for some quality time with his grandmother who was stricken with Alzheimer’s Disease back in ’96. It’s amazing that she even recognizes him at the end of one of his nostalgic ramblings while they sit outside.

T.O. then gets to confront his father who basically admits that he was not there for him, but was also working 2 jobs, and somehow had the time to have a whole other family! And that family actually lived across the street from T.O.’s grandmother’s house, where T.O. grew up! Well, like all real men do these days, they hug it out, and I think there is some resolution for T.O. moving forward.

It was cool to see T.O. hit up his old high school and give the “Stay In School” speech to a bunch of steroid-tempted teenagers, and also attend the local church on Easter Sunday. Some may mistake him for a giant Easter Egg in the hot pink sweater he donned, but for some reason it worked.

I’m learning more and more about this dude’s background, which is fine, but I want to get some video footage of him learning the Bills’ new offensive schemes and finding his new true love.
