08:02 AM ET 06.27 | Some believe a significant knee injury will end what remained of Terrell Owens' career. There was a time when Owens was the most physically imposing wide receiver threat in football. He terrified defenses and then yapped and yapped and yapped about how he did it. Yes, a jacka**, but a ... talented one. A Hall of Fame one. He also had tremendous heart despite being a clown. Remember how he came back from a broken leg to play in the Super Bowl? Now comes word Owens recently shattered his ACL and will miss six months. I expect Owens to publicly state his career will go on and there will be no retirement but I can tell you Owens has told several people in the NFL that he has indeed considered retirement. Again, that doesn't mean he will, but he's told people in the sport he's considering it. Owens, with little question, is done in the NFL as an elite receiver.

You're bloody well right it's going to be the thread of the day. I've been whining about getting a TO thread for a while now. Here it is and somehow the moment feel rather anti-climatic - sort of like the end of TO's NFL career.

The F Team. Other end of the scale from the A Team. I pity the fool.

It's Ninja Day, maybe that's why the T.O. thread? ........or NOT!

Ooooh, they upped the stakes by making the headline even more controversial.

Honestly, I hope it's not true. Just think of how many awful reality shows the guy will star in if he can't play football. I shudder to think of the possibilities.
