The Eagles and the Giants had a charity softball game a few weeks ago. TO was on the Eagles team. Through a donation, my grandson we the "assistant coach" and was on the field with the team. TO was so kind to him. Talking to him before the game for a while. After the game, TO came over to him and said "good job Coach Tyler, I'll sign anything you'd like me to sign. I was a fan before but as you can guess, even a bigger one now. To take a few minuets to make a little boy feel special shows what kind of man he really is. Thank to TO!
It's charity. That's why they're there

AMEN🙏🏽💯💪🏽
He called the Hulk "David" Banner instead of Bruce Banner and it brought me back to early 2000s rap 😂😂
I make that same mistake all the time lol
Have you ever seen a Chevy with butterfly doors ☝️🤙
Tbf his name was David on the tv show
😂😂😂
His name was David on the TV show lol. Thats where the rapper David Banner got his name.
Peytons been doing awesome things since his retirement
And he enjoys it that’s the biggest thing
I'm so glad he's not in the broadcast booth because that aint his bag --- he's much better doing in-depth interviews
Like kobe.... maybe he gets sacrificed as well to get the other manning into the nfl
@@gematriagoonwho did kobe get sacrificed for 🤔🤔
As a teen, I met TO in the locker room after a game against the Rams in STL during his breakout year. When I walked up to him, he was fiddling with his earrings. For a few seconds, he pretended not to see me. Then he bent down, said “boo”, and broke into a big grin. He signed my program and talked to me for 10 minutes like we were old friends.
I’ll never forget that, and I’ll always support him.
Props to Steve Young for sticking with him to the end 💪
That amazing Superbowl Performance on half a leg was just legendary and pure heart. He was so unstoppable and cool to see his story.
The haters called him selfish for that too smfh
I actually hated TO up until that game but was so damn impressed by his performance that I became a fan --- so much damn grit to play like that with a busted up leg
How is he playing with a busted leg!? HE PUT THE TEAM ON HIS BACK LIKE THAT DOE.
@@CreepyBlackDude Legendary meme! Good call
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Terrell Owens was THE man. If he played in this era, he’d be universally loved. He was just way too bright a star for that early 2000s era of the NFL. And because of that, people act like he wasn’t one of the 2 greatest receivers to ever live.
I've got him as 4th best ever.
1. Rice
2. Moss
3. Harrison
4. Owens
@@thequixoticangler3364 harisson is not better than TO , no way not even close
@@Godishim1 mmmm. Depends on how you look at it. Raw stats? No, TO is better by miles. But I'm looking at impact on a franchise, clutch games, etc... Too.
Its 3a 3b it was a tough decision.
I got TO ahead of Moss because Moss disappeared for a few years and was known for not always trying. Owens balled out even in his last year in Cinci.
@@Gr8estOAT What a pair of knuckleheads... Moss was the better WR but TO was the better football player. Neither in my top 10 all time its a TEAM sport
That's really crazy what the media could do to a player. He never quitted on his team, always showed up to block and help his teammates, never got in trouble with the law or partied before games, never did drugs, just went to work everyday and because he was having fun talking on the field, the media portrayed him as this "cancer" in the locker room. To play in the Super Bowl with a broken leg is unbelievable, and he did that for his teamates to give them the best chance to win.
It's disgusting that they made him wait for HOF. Nerds
Terrell Owens was the best. That catch from Steve Young against the Packers was so good. I've always been a Redskins fan, but I thought TO was great as a Cowboy with his whole "get your popcorn ready" stuff. A truly great receiver, and a truly great entertainer. It's players like him that really exploded the NFL's success. When he started, NFL teams could be bought for a few hundred million. Now their worth $5 Billion.
I always love how TO really worked his way to becoming the best. He didn’t even start in college and took time to develop in the NFL and now look at the end product. HALL OF FAME
Being from Philadelphia I'll never forget that 2004 season TO set a franchise record for TDs even with breaking his leg. Then comes back in the superbowl and plays amazing against The Patriots.
I actually hated TO up until that Super Bowl but was really impressed by his performance that I became a fan --- so much damn grit to play like that with a busted up leg
@@kerzytibok3211no human being can walk away from seeing that game and not respect that resiliency
That Patriots team is also by many objective standards one of the greatest ever. To come that close, on a broken leg stapled together and with a drunk/hungover QB, absolutely amazing.
Imagine TO in this era. The tail end of his career was right around the time the rules really started protecting receivers. You can almost see it in a few of these clips how much more physical the game was in the secondary.
TO played in an era where receivers were actually allowed to be hit lol
I really liked that you guys highlighted the blocking factor in this video. You have one of the top WR in the history of the NFL showing that his ability to impact the game with his blocks was a big factor in his and his team's success. As a 49ers fan, I'm thankful the organization still puts so much importance on everyone needing the ability to block. You're the frickin man TO. All the best
That’s crazy that he didn’t start at UTC, then became a hall of famer and one of the top 3 WR’s of all time.
Top 5
@@packersdog If you go by yards and TDs and not your opinion. He is top 3. It’s Rice,Moss,TO or Rice TO, Moss. TO more yards ,Moss Three more TDs than TO.
@@packersdog no, top 3
Had he stayed a Niner he might have been. Maybe two.
Top 5 perhaps. Top 10 for sure.
One of the best personalities the league has ever had.
I miss Terrell Owens in the NFL. He made football fun without overdoing it with team celebrations or just very bizarre celebrations in today's NFL.
Dude started the whole thing man, what are you talking about?
AB thinks TO needs help.
@@MacInTheBoxexactly what I was thinking
As a niner fan, I loved it when he basked in his glory on the Cowboy's mid-field star!
@@devastor-phil310 Yeah that was a bit over the top, the first one was bad enough, but when he did it again during the same game. It was the ultimate in "act like you've been here before" moments. It was sad because he was an absolute physical beast of a player, but he really did need to keep his emotions under check a bit more.
I think a lot of people (especially younger folks) really forget just how great TO really was on the football field. Dude could run any route in any spot on the field, and was fearless. A lot of guys dont want to go in the middle of the field, but TO would go right in there and reek havoc on defenses
Top 3 Lock WR of all time.
People like who?
Literally nobody forgot.
@@matthewsdonnelly agreed
@@LumpyAdams sure.
Years ago, I remember trying to explain to someone who didn't know football very well what the difference was between Moss and TO. I said, "TO always fights for the ball." If that thing was thrown anywhere in the same Zip code as him, he was going to go get it. Also, unlike Moss, he never took a play off. Always maximum effort.
Also yards after catch was owens specialty
I always thought TO was a glory hound. This interview changes my perception of him. Still a very confident guy, but the portrayal of his blocking and teamwork was something I missed in the past.
Thats because you pay attention to what ESPN says
Just remember the only wide receiver in NFL history that's better than Terell Owens is Jerry Rice. So that's your kind of tell you that he's not a glory Hound that he actually worked his ass off to get where he is and to accomplish what he did. Stop paying attention to ESPN and all the naysayers and actually do some research
He was amazing on the field, but a cancer on the sideline and in the locker room.
@@billdover3165 There might be a few other WRs that will claim to be the second best WR of all time, behind Jerry.
I’m one of the biggest T.O. fans of all time, for me it’s between Randy Moss & T.O. Randy has the slightest edge as a deep ball guy, but T.O. is the best yac receiver that’s ever played the game. U could throw a 2 yard hitch or a 5 yard slant to T.O. & he could take it the distance 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 yards etc T.O. only receiver I’ve ever seen put pro LB’s into the turf w/a stiff arm, hottest TD celebrations of all time. He was a glory hound, but he could back up every inch, ounce, word he said, to me he’s the offensive version of Deion, greatness personified
One of the greatest downfield blocking exhibitions ever!
Peyton is great at interviewing. Hes a straight shooter and the fact he can replay other plays guys make they appreciate that detail
Inspiring!!!! DDD!!! Desire, Dedication, Discipline!
I was grateful when you played for the Cowboys T.O.!!!
Keep giving this man his flowers. GOD bless you T. O.!
It's like he said, he is a quiet and disciplined good person off the field but he was the exuberant, herculean and dramatic TO on the field. There are many, many players who do the same. He probably needed that exaggerated personality and over the top energy to even play such a violent sport. And he was a very physical receiver who never shied away from LBs and DBs. He played in the era where throwing across the middle was considered a "hospital throw" because of guys like Ray Lewis, Urlacher and Tedy Bruschi. In today's league he would be the top dog. He'd be better than Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson or A.J. Brown.
Brian Dawkins was the same way
He can still play and be decent at his current age.
The only Player (including Steve Young) to make me cry when he caught that pass in the endzone vs. Packs in catch 2.
all true fans cried. them packers were vicious. lo Kap gave us fan a new wave against the packers - never forget.
I truly love it when we get to know more about people we may have had a perception about, people who were judged harshly, maybe deservedly who knows, but getting to hear their side and more details… many like TO, Ryan Leaf & others have been able to get Closure and some redemption. I think it’s awesome.
As a Packer fan I didnt like to at all after beating my team. I live in Alabama now. He came from nothing Alabama poor poor rural Alabama and he had talent but his determination and dedication made him what he became. He seems to have matured alot over the years. Mad respect.
Alexander city Alabama
Peyton saying Aquaman (DC) vs the Marvel reference , lol love the dad in him
My favorite player of all time
.. Him, Steve Smith, and OchoCinco were the reason I started watching the NFL. My childhood was dope
No lie there, Any player who was baller enough to be in NFL street was a bad man on that field, loved football in those days
Child please ❤
@@troysunshine1107 NFL Street was amazing back then! I actually played it the other day. Got NFL Street 2 on my computer
@thlee3 lol yep... "Get your popcorn ready"
Randy Moss aswell
No Smoking, No Drinking, No Off the Field Problems. Yup. Salute 🫡
I Almost cried watching T.O make that caught lol got too deep 💯🤣
"I turned and the ball was there"
Probably why that ended up a TD catch, no time to think "watch the ball into my hands" ot was pure reaction and his talent and training took over.
I never badmouthed TO again after his Super Bowl performance. One of the greatest efforts I’ve ever seen by a guy who was clearly hurt.
"I'm on half a leg and they can't stop me". That's a cold line from TO
That boy said David Banner as the Incredible Hulk 😂😂
Well to be fair, on the Hulk TV show he was David Banner and not Bruce.
@@MrSpeed-lt8gr oh shit, you're right! I had no idea 😂 i thought he mixed up the name when he said David
Plot twist David Banner got his name from the Hulk
@@malikmaxwell343 🤯
Love to see this side of TO. Great interview!!
Humble he was not. However he always showed up every season in great shape and took good care of himself. (he’s probably in better shape than most rookies). But what impressed me the most unlike a lot WR’s. He was never afraid to go across the middle. Stud!
Favorite player of all time. 💯💯💯
Oh my lord i never knew T.o didnt start in college he definitely is the man
TO learned from the best in Jerry Rice w/his time w/the Niners…definitely helped him reach the highest level he achieved in the nfl!🤙🏾
I became a cowboys fan because of TO
I followed Jerry rice and after her retired I followed TO and when he landed on the boys I then became a cowboys fan.
I grew up playing wide receiver
That game where TO made the catch vs Green Bay, made me really wanna keep watching football. Was starting to to get into it. Cuz at the time, I was all basketball. I’ll never forget watching it live.
Peyton’s baby dance was hilarious!
He was a cute kid there is no denying it
Miss these guys man. Grew up watching the early 2000 era.
You had to respect the consistency in this man's game he was so fun to watch .
T.O. is one of the all time greats. no debate
Imagine if Peyton was TO's QB throughout his career. They would've broke every offensive passing and receiving record.
Manning was not lacking in WR talent on his team.
@@aaronjackson9385of course not he's just saying TO would have all the records for wr
Plus I think it would have been brady and moss type numbers on steroids lol
@@dillonsparks115 doubt it. Why are you acting like TO played with bums? Plus he had the worst hands of any elite WR.
@@aaronjackson9385 for great qbs he had McNab and romo and ofcourse Steve Young but who else were star qbs
My 🐐 T.O 💪🏽
As a 49ers fan, I got to see TO play at candle stick park and he was amazing and the garlic fries 🍟 were 🔥💪
Little Peyton dancing and Owen’s Jerry curls were amazing!
Terrell Owens is definitely one of the main reasons why I started watching football. The first game I really watched fully was a ‘07 season game between DAL and WAS and the Cowboys won 28-23 w/ TO catching 4 TD’s and I was hooked.
Both him & Moss was my favorite as a teen but as I got older i have much more appreciation for Terrell, his relentlessness, passion, drive and his hard work
That gb game he had is the epitome of coming thru when it counts...he had drops all game and young still had belief in him to throw it and Terrell had faith in himself to catch it. The definition of redemption
I respect receivers who take hits and still hang on to the ball. every other position on the offense gets hit every single play. TO had all that diva behavior but the man could take a hit like a champ
T.O. is confident, articulate and outspoken. Brothas like that are instantly labeled as “problematic”.
That part 💯
Thats so stupid its hilarious. Spend some time listening and learning from the most articulate "brotha" today...Thomas Sowell...and maybe you can lose that racism and victim mentality. Maybe. Make sure to keep voting Democrat though, I am sure they will eventually do something somewhere to help black folks for the 1st time ever. Maybe.
Miss TO in a niner uni. We all wanted to see him every game day. When i say we i mean my household. I was young but man was he golden to watch. Just like tyson back then.
T.O. was a man on the field on every play. Wish that things had gone better in Philly. But during that Super Bowl he was the best player on the field.
Having my Best WR of all time MR. TO amd my best QB of all time MR. Manning together having a conversation of football is so especial I would have love to see this 2 together play in the same team and for sure would have one 2 or 3 Super Bowl no disrespect to the great Marvin Harrison but T O was something especial!!
Young, Owens, Mooch, Ted Robinson on the calls, my childhood- gives me chills every time
Goosebumps moment during that packers game, oh man i miss the early 00s
Who can make a play? He can!
T.O. legend. Forever. Amazing player.
Thank you guys . This is the first time in 15 years I have been able watch something about football without barfing my brains out . Maybe espn can figure out what their company name is and stick to it .
I feel like TO worked so hard, he just couldn't put up with lack of effort, and was vocal about it.
He was my favorite player as a kid. So much love for TO
One of my favorite players ever . Legend
wish this episode was longer. love these 2!
I love the sarcasm about the word Selfish! Attached to TO
When he caught that pass I knew I be 49ers fan forever. The NYG comeback, Alex Smith TD run beat Saints, the GB blow outs but I don’t forget GB & Rams beating them early. It’s a shame they broke up that team it didn’t recover till RB Gore was drafted but it was rough till Harbaugh. They always fought & we’re talented RB Hearst got hurt 98. I didn’t know it be end of an era that catch I guess I’m a reverse NE fan pure victory & little pain.
Everyone talks about this guy as being a trouble maker....name one incident off the field? Show me the story where he was drunk or hit someone or got into an altercation or whatever. It doesn't exist.
And yes I understand the locker room division is a real thing, but from my perspective as a fan watching the game this guy never asked for anything more from his team mates than he expected himself to give and I think that is where the frustration always came from. Imagine knowing that getting you the ball was the best chance for the team to win and it not happening. Maybe that wasn't always the reality, but when you look at him, his numbers, his talent and his accomplishments it's hard to argue otherwise.
I'm not saying that he was perfect or the best of all time, but I get frustrated when people act like he was beating women and taking plays off. Dude obviously took care of himself and the training part better than anyone....I can't name a better or more willing blocker at the position other than maybe Hines or Keyshawn...and the dude was as invested in winning as anyone else out there. It's up to the coach and the QB to lead and motivate him and maybe that wasn't easy, but neither is doing anything at an extreme level.
Its not my job to be anything more than a fan of the sport and for my money I don't know if there is an easier eyeball test of someone that worked as hard as humanly possible. Dude literally just had a race like 3 years ago with Tyreek and ran a 4.42 at 46 years old. You don't just wake up with that.
Well said.
He did cause problems. He did want to be in the spotlight. And he got what he wanted. No one’s ever said he didn’t work his ass off like most don’t. But he caused problems, that is a fact lol. He was selfish, that is a fact. All of that makes him what he was and that’s alright. But ignoring that is as dishonest as what you’re saying
T.O. had confidence and passion for the game ... he always showed up on game day and gave 100% ... you put away some of the negatives about anyone and you work with their positives and you create an even better player. The carrier numbers T.O. up speaks for it's self .... watching his highlights of every team he played on from start to finish speaks for it's self.
@@freedomstar3814 how many super bowls did he win?
@@Ccthomas-ks1hnname one crime, what problems 😂 I’ve seen QBs and former RBs who punch their wife’s and drunk backups walking into random ppl homes. Name one crime TO did ? 🤷🏻♂️
One of the best receivers ever to play the game. If he was perceived as selfish then that wasn't him, that was a label the media put on him. He competed in every game he played. He most definately deserves his HOF place. I miss his personality and what he brought to the NFL. Even the haters will miss him because he was that good.
Can’t wait for part 2!
Turns out this type A personality is really humble and kind
Garrison Hearst run was also week 1 of Peytons career. 3 ints vs Marino's dolphin in the 1 o'clock games
If it weren't for that horse collar tackle by Roy Williams I'm convinced the Eagles win their first Super Bowl that year. T.O missing those games ruined the chemistry they had going.
Sheagles suck
1 Super Bowl is cute
Try having 5
@@Biscuitsgravy924 Cry, Cry Niner Gang 😭😂 Ya'll not ready!
Thank you for the memories Terrell...we sometimes dont truly thank the ones that gave us memories
T.O first ballot he was so unstoppable & more importantly he never had off the field issues just happy they let him in
Love me some TO!!!
Man I loved T.O.'s game - he was a real beast. Looking back, Julio Jones played the game the way T.O. played it.
Can you imagine the faith Steve Young had to have had in T.O. to choose to continue to throw to him after all those dropped passes? Unreal.
His passion for the game matched with his confidence made him a star.
Nothing more needs to be said after you watch him block for Hurst and watch his performance against the Patriots. He really achieved and was a great team player.
TO was a beast...loved watching him.
That Steve Young throw is one of the greatest of all time.
1a. Rice
1b. Owens
TO was a great runner and blocker. The guy even ran down multiple interceptions. Pure beast 💪
The NFL has the best player content. The NBA really needs to take notes on this. Top 100 players every year is genius. @nba you guys gotta do things like this
Peyton to TO would've been fun duo to watch. I truly believe if TO was 100% in the super bowl. Philly would've won. He had 9 rec for 133 yards but kept out of the end zone because of his broken ankle. Had he been healthy he would've at least added 2 td and two extra catches.
He would of blew up the team the first time Manning yelled at him.
9 for 122!! 🦅💨💪
@rageinbull I think payton would understand that TO was a guy who doesn't react well to yelling some guys don't take yelling like some guys can
@@dillonsparks115 he blew up the Eagles because Donavan said they could win the Super bowl without him if they had to. He blew up the Cowboys because he thought Romo was to close to Whitten and that’s why he wasn’t getting enough targets. Payton Manning would have never bowed to him like he wanted.
@@rageinbull were the teams better with him or no tell me that
TERRELL OWENS MADE ME LIKE DI NFL ! MY FAVORITE NFL PLAYER EVER ! RESPECT 4 BEING YOURSELF N NOT WAT PPL OR SOCIETY WANT U 2 B!
As a Packers fan I still have nightmares about that darn catch!! I was like this dude made one catch all game long!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Says a lot that Steve Young still believed in him and threw him the game winner
Love how it starts with Raymond Berry
Yea, T O was great to watch!😊
Great interview!!!
My fav two wr and the two best too ever play jerry rice and T.o
49er fan since 1981, I jumped out of my seat when he made that catch. That day TO was born instantly. Jerry rice wasn't an instant success in the beginning either? But became the GOAT. I've been watching football, basketball, baseball. Since early to mid 70's an have seen just about everything there is to see in sports. So there's not a lot in today's sports that I get to excited about.
My all time favorite…. And best Teeth I’ve ever seen in the NFL
T.O.. undeniably one of the greatest to ever play wide receiver.
"An Aquaman I love Aquaman" 😂 Peyton is hilarious
Great interview!
0:29 "Type A personalities" And then you had Larry Fitz. Spiked a ball only once in his career. I cant wait for his episode and Canton speech.
Haha 😂
That throw by Young was an absolute laser. 2 foot window from 35 yards away.
He did a great job for my Cowboys! Glad we had him!
