ArmchairGM Users Attempt to Make Every Single Article on the Front Page About T.O.

by user Frisky

Terrell Owens tried to kill himself. And Armchair GM wants to make sure you know about it. Users of the growing sports site have banded together with a vow to make every article appearing on the front page a T.O. article.

"Look at me! I'm Terrell Owens!" said one user, though it has not been confirmed if he is actually Terrell Owens.

"Owens didn't do it," said another, alluding to the fact that it was someone else that tried to kill Terrell Owens.

"T.O. fiasco sheds light on deeper issue," said yet another. What that issue is, nobody knows, since nobody wants to read yet another article about Terrell Owens.

Wow. Two articles complaining about numers of T.O. articles in as many minutes! But won't complaining about it just carry on increasing the numbers (hence contradicting yourself, and making the situation worse)?

Mine isn't a complaint, it's satire. I find it all pretty funny, actually.

Perhaps it would be a good time to post a cricket/snooker article etc. People would actually read it as half of the other articles are about T.O.!

I think it could be argued that by talking about Terrell Owens so much, the terrorists win.

Nothing against your article personally. It's just nobody wants to read about TO at all at this point unless he does actually kill himself or is murdered by Bill Parcells.

Agreed, Frisky. And if Parcells murdered T.O., then got a life imprisonment for it, finally New England, New York, and Philadelphia football fans could be happy about the same thing at the same time! ;-)

I'm going to make the headline of my NFL picks this week "Bill Parcells Murders Terrell Owens." I could set a new page hit record.

I would point out one caveat to the "ignore-T.O.-and-he'll-go-away" idea. OK, two caveats. There's the obvious one that he might not go away, but redouble his efforts to get noticed. But the one that concerns me is that in this case, his actions (whether intentional or not) nearly resulted in the death of a human being. No matter how annoying Owens can be, to flirt with death can't just be dismissed as T.O. being T.O. Just because the boy cried wolf one too many times doesn't mean there are no wolves out there.

Appropriate that one with a handle like yours would use a canine metaphor.
