The reason I don't have a shirt on on the cover is because it's a very vulnerable memoir
It's one of those things that I'm always involved in everything I do
We must all suffer one or two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret
I've learned to always like step into the things I'm afraid of and that's how I knew I was ready to step away from the game
Episode: FULL SHOW: Terrell Owens Reveals He Doesn't Date B...
It was described as a vulnerable memoir detailing the author's 13-year NFL career, including failures and the process of his personal development. The author stated that he wrote the book himself, cover to cover, to share his experiences and provide context for his accomplishments.
"
Yeah, I mean, you know, a lot of the times we see people who have a lot of success who are champions and we hold them up high but often times we don't see, you know, what makes them that way.
And so often times we kind of glorify that process and look at the end result.
But for me I've always been a bridge builder and wanted to make sure that I contextualize the 13 year career that I just finished.
And really that's to me that's what you want to do. That's what you want to live. You want to have impact on things. You want to leave people with breadcrumbs to that success.
The reason I don't have a shirt on on the cover is because it's a very vulnerable memoir.

And you know whose birthday it is that is very underrated? Chris Tucker.
People gotta read your book. If you think Fat Joe's a great storyteller, read his book. Book of Jose.
Like if you read it and you're like, this couldn't have happened. But then you're like, this is Joe. No, no. So it probably did happen.
