Terrell Owens is no stranger to controversy, and this time the 37-year old free agent tore his ACL while filming his VH1 reality show. The injury occurred during a personal workout. On VH1′s The T.O Show, cameras follow Owens along with his close friend, Monique Jackson, and his personal assistant, Kita Williams. But this is one storyline T.O has been able to keep under wraps. According to ESPN, Owens had surgery over a month ago to repair the injury by noted surgeon James Andrew.
Last season, T.O was with the Cincinnati Bengals but failed to live up to his one- year contract hype and was placed on injured reserves. During the 2005 Super Bowl, Owens famously played through what many thought of as a career ending fibula injury, but now entering his 15th year in the league, it will be more difficult for Owens to find a team who is willing to sign him.
NFL superstar Adrian Peterson charged peewee football players $199 to attend his football camp. Although attendees were promised motivational talks and mentoring by the NFL star Peterson canceled on the camp just days before.
According to Peterson, he was chosen by the NFL Network to be in the NFL Top 100 Program, which caused a scheduling conflict to film the special. ProCamps apologized saying, “Although we are saddened to hear that he won’t be able to attend his camp, we congratulate Adrian on the honor.” Only problem is, the NFL Network denied any wrongdoing saying they are not filming with the NFL superstar until July!
After being outed by the NFL network, ProCamps back peddled issuing refunds, and Peterson issued the statement saying, “I hosted camps in Palestine and Tyler, Texas, last week that went great. Due to ProCamps misunderstanding of my schedule, I was never able to host this year’s Norman camp on their scheduled dates, but look forward to being back in 2012.”

Panthers center Ryan Kalil tweeted, “Reliable source telling me possible reality sports doc TV series coming to NC after today’s media presence covering Panther POTA’s.”
This season is especially competitive because of the NFL lockout. Despite other teams’ interest, including the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos, the Panthers are said to be the front runner because of first overall draft pick Newton.
