Terrell Owens has always been an island of sorts. His brash personality and self-absorption routinely alienated his teammates during an NFL career that teetered between terrific and toxic, leaving him to fend for himself.
Now, at 38 and out of football, he's lonelier than ever, and running out of money. In a GQ profile, Owens comes across as wounded, broke and desperate. When people text him to ask where he is, he replies back: "I'm in hell."
But is it his own fault? That's the perennial debate on T.O., who had a heartbreaking childhood but continually pointed fingers at everyone but himself once he became an adult.
In the GQ story by Nancy Hass, Owens blames the media for not giving him a chance to rehab his injury, blames agent Drew Rosenhaus for not protecting him from a bad business arrangement, and -- perhaps most surprisingly -- blames a former team captain for his issues with former Philadelphia teammate Donovan McNabb.
Owens earned around $80 million during his NFL career, but has found himself in deep financial trouble, despite never spending lavishly. In the February edition of GQ, Owens admits to trusting the wrong people, who in turn cost him a lot of his fortune.

Still that's half a million a year, around 9 million total for 18 years. That still leaves 71 million dollars he pretty much just more or less threw away. Sucks his financial adviser sucked ass and him not knowing that he defiantly was past his biggest years but continued to spend like crazy

I read this earlier today and thought how stupid. Anyone making that much dough does not need to invest it to make more. Just put in something secure that earns low interest.

Some people can never see the bigger picture, that they themselves caused the very problem they're now experiencing due to lack of planning for the future. My ex was one of those that would never see the cause and effect of his actions, no matter how many times I would trace back the events for him, it was always "the man keeping him down."
