Will you be watching the T.O. Show?

Some labeling it his latest self-promotion stunt, Terrell Owens is hoping his new reality series shows the world a different side of T.O.

While some fans think Owens is unfairly criticized by the media, there are others that say he's just a one-dimensional showboat. I can see both but how is a reality show going to change that? Owens told the Buffalo News,

"I guess it's a way to really try to get across to an audience or to my fans that may dislike me," Owens said. "They have to carefully understand how the media works. I've done a number of charitable things. I'm a hot item. ... So instead of the media talking about all of the positive things I've done, they would rather talk about the negative, because negative sells. I haven't been portrayed in the fairest of light. This is really going to show me. I have control."

Released by the Cowboys this past off-season, Owens suits up with his 4th team when the Bills open training camp this week. Even with a chip on his shoulder, T.O. will give Buffalo what they need -- someone that can catch. The Bills haven't had a receiver catch 10 TD passes in 7 years. Owens has hauled in 38 touchdowns over the last 3 seasons.

To me, the only side of Terrell Owens I care about is his play on the field. His antics and outspoken style is what got him in this position in the first place. More than likely this show will not get him out of it.

The 8-episode reality series debuts on VH-1 tomorrow night -- 7/20/09.
