Terrell Owens Is Not Apologizing

Controversial football star Terrell Owens intends to sets the record straight with his new book, "T.O." which hit shelves this week. The book, published by Simon & Schuster, is co-written by sports agent Jason Rosenhaus.

"T.O." chronicles the wide receiver's time with the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFL team he joined for the 2004 season. Things began to crumble for Owens during his 2005 season when the Eagles suspended him — first for a game, then for the rest of the season — for conduct such as criticizing the team's quarterback, Donovan McNabb. In November 2005, an arbitrator ruled that Owens conduct was a "destructive and continuing threat" to his team.

Now a Dallas Cowboy, Owens, 32, vows to explain what went down in Philly and how he was unfairly blamed for his conduct.

Readers are promised a play-by-play account of the footballer's tenure with the Eagles, including an insider look at his volatile relationship with McNabb, his stint in rehab after an injury sidelined him during the 2004 season, and his turbulent 2005 season.

Owens stresses that the book is not an apology or defense. "I want you to judge me for yourself," he writes, "not based on what the media says, but based on what I have written in my story."
