Zenyatta's Newest Fan



This is Terrell Owens, a current member of the Cincinnati Bengals (wide receiver) who actually has a bit of history in Philadelphia since he once played for the Eagles. While he was here, he injured himself and famously rehabilitated himself super fast, using all sorts of technology including a hyperbaric chamber which he had installed in his home. In fact, one day when Phoebe was trotting along on the underwater treadmill, the doctor commented that this was the same model that T.O. (as he is known) used during his rehab.

Anyway, apparently T.O. has a thing for the horses as evidenced by this item from Bloodhorse.com. In California during the Bengal's bye week (last week), T. O. dropped by Zenyatta's barn at Hollywood Park. It seems that the superstar athlete has attended the Kentucky Derby, visited Three chimney Farm and was dying to meet the 6 year old, undefeated Zenyatta.

When they led her out, he commented, "Man, she's big!"

When told that Zenyatta was a pussycat in the barn but a tiger on the racetrack, T.O. couldn't resist the comparison: "So he's like me: kind off the field, but somebody who shows a lot of passion on it."

I'm not touching that one. . .
