Summary:
Basically this is the definition of an athlete who talks too much. Terrell Owens (T.O), in a press conference, fires words at old quarterback Donovan McNabb. He starts talking a lot of trash saying things like "The fans and just the excitement of me coming there and being there, it became too overwhelming for Donovan,""I will say that Donovan made me a better receiver in Philadelphia, but I think Donovan would have a hard time admitting I made him a better quarterback."

Connection:
This article goes with my American icon reflection. I wrote in my paper that i don't want to end up as the athletes who are all talk and take their fame and talent for granted. I don't want to be that kid of person i want to lean towards whats good and to use my talent for good.

Reflection:
Ladianian Tomlinson is no doubt one of those athletes who play for the right reasons. He doesn't say anything stupid. He doesn't talk trash and he is very humble. I'm trying to set my priorities to that way and i feel that i am succeeding. I don't like to talk trash much and i play with all my heart and i strive to do whats best. Unlike T.O, L.T opens charities and hold events to help those who are less fortunate.
