T.O.-- Real. Comfortable. Wrangler.

It's been a tumultuous year for Terrell Owens. In Week 14 of the 2010 NFL season, Owens tore the meniscus cartilage in his knee to end his season. After that, during some mysterious off-season activity, he tore his ACL. Soon after this he had surgery but, likely thanks to the NFL lockout, he was never picked up by a team. It seemed he was content to sit out this NFL season with nothing but his successful past career and his VH1 show to be his ticket to fame.

Then, things got real. Owens went on a Sports Center special hosted by Stephen A. Smith with his family by his side. What a perfect time to announce to America that he would be retiring. He had a great career and after 15 seasons, it wasn't a short one either. He had a very heartfelt story about having his family always there for him and not wanting to quit on anything. He felt it was time. He was hanging up the jersey.

Then Wham! TO did what TO does best! Get that popcorn a poppin'! He April Fooled Stephen A in the middle of October! Only TO can do that! He said he was healthy and was ready to come back to the NFL "soon"! He then defined "soon" as a month or less. This was gunna get good! A bunch of teams needed wide receivers! He would get scooped up and breaking records again in no time!
