Coming Soon: The Terrell Owens Project

Because Terrell Owens didn't receive nearly enough attention for a past-his-prime wide receiver this season, the cantankerous, self-serving Dallas Cowboy will star in his own reality show this summer.

We have VH1 to thank for that.

Here's the official press release from the network, hyping The Terrell Owens Project:

In the series, T.O. will be shadowed in the off-season by his best friends and publicists Monique Jackson and Kita Williams as they battle the two sides of his large personality. 

Viewers will discover that behind all the braggadocio, emotional histrionics, and sculpted physique that is the outspoken media magnet known to the world as “T.O.” — there is also a quiet, sensitive, mild-mannered guy from Alexander City, Alabama…that’s Terrell.

It's about time Terrell Owens received some attention. We can only hope Pacman Jones and Michael Vick are the next football stars to receive their own reality shows.

“We are thrilled to bring such a great athlete, who is one of the biggest names and personalities in all the world of sports to VH1 for a surprising high octane look inside his superstar life off the field,” said Jeff Olde, EVP Original Programming & Production.

Mo and Kita want to help Terrell match all the success he’s had on the field with that same kind of success off the field.  Now, after a string of relationships and off-the-field endeavors, Terrell is ready to re-examine his personal life and finally put a plan into action.

These outspoken, vibrant women are more like T.O.’s sisters than people who work for him.  They will function as matchmakers and therapists and also put their marketing expertise to use and help him make his life off of the field as successful as his life on it!
