He is exactly opposite of what I was taught when I was young and learnnig to play football and baseball. Sportsmanship, class, be respectful and a graceful winner and never be a poor loser. the same things I teach my son, I just hope I've taught him well enough to realize what a loser TO is and is never tempted to emulate him. There will be millions of other poor sports and low-lifes who will be happy to do that.
It's a shame all that talent had to be wasted on someone like TO when there are so many players with class out there that deserve it more.

To be frank:
1) TO is paid to play the game.
2) He
does not distract from the game. He probably brings in more viewers and ticket holders than did Michael Erwin and Deon Sanders combined when they played for the C-boys. TO, conversely,
enhances the game.
3) God-given talents: Have you seen how he works out? The man is in fantastic physical shape. Has he been popped for steroid use, drug use, alcohol abuse, etc? So what is this assertion that he takes for granted his God-given talents?
4) Yes, role models are good. But in all honesty, who said TO is required as a top-tier football player to be a role model?
5) TO, a loser? LOL! I don't have enough time or energy to humor that ridiculous accusation.
