Terrell Owens is a wide receiver in the NFL. The media has always scrutinized Owens and his business of doing things. Owens has been blamed for killing teams chemistry and always throwing the quarterback under the bus. ESPN has always given Owens a bad reputation of being a bad person and teammate. As a result people always get the wrong impression of what type of person Owens actually is. Teams have been reluctant to sign a Hall of Fame player, because of the scrutiny he has received from the media. Owens can be labeled as misunderstood, because the media has misinterpreted him. The media is slow to realize how great of a player he is, and al the good things things he does on the field, but they are quick to amplify his mistakes. As a result of his misunderstood examination he blames the media for his reputation.

The media do like to tell a story, even the "news" media which should be more objective. A story needs a bad guy.
