Joanna Krupa gives Terrell Owens the Terrell Owens treatment

By MJD

After making a career of shoving his own quarterbacks into the woodchipper, I sort of hoped that eventually, someone would do the same to Terrell Owens(notes). What I didn't figure was that it would be model Joanna Krupa.

ABC's got this new show called "The Superstars" where a celebrity pairs up with an athlete in a series of athletic competitions. The winner gets ... I don't know, to be on television more, I guess. Last night was the first episode, and Terrell Owens and Joanna Krupa, probably the favorites, were the first couple eliminated.

From there, Joanna turned into Terrell Owens, and she turned Terrell Owens into Jeff Garcia(notes).

Oh, that's fantastic. My favorite part is right at the end when she throws in a forceful little "Shut up." I think I've watched it about 843 times.

Did Owens deserve to be yelled at like a little boy? No, probably not; the poor guy's foot got caught in the net. Tough break. But Jeff Garcia and Donovan McNabb(notes) probably didn't deserve the treatment they got from Terrell Owens, either.

It happened, though. Miss Krupa is probably used to having everything in the world she wants, and probably has a pretty healthy ego of her own. That doesn't make her right, of course, except in the grander, karmic scheme of things.

Maybe, in the end, it'll be good for Owens to experience what it's like to be on the wrong end of a media tirade. Joanna Krupa may have just done Trent Edwards(notes) a huge favor.

    I guess now TO understands what its like to be every quarterback who ever got thrown under the buss by him. How great is it that it was a woman that made him look like a fool on national TV?

    What a ball buster? they say that beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone.
    Quick review:
    That was one of the worst things on TV. Poor facilities and equipment.
    The bikes were for children and because of the chain malfunctions didn't work properly.
    The obstacle course thing was terrible. i was screaming cut him out of it before it snaps his leg. What a poor piece of equipment. I said the same about Lesile. Cut her out before it snaps her leg. Wasn't that the leg TO broke?
    they had no trainers or medical staff. Was that entertaining a fun to see Bode Miller give up his lunch? should his vitals have been checked? Maybe and IV?
    I blame in part Mike Tirico and John Saunders for hosting such an poorly planned event.
    I was so happy TO was out. The last time something like this was held. it was the Pro Bowl some years back and a Rookie got hurt and it ended his career. As poorly as this is staged a victory is; not sustaining a serious injury. I won't be watching this again. Please don't you either.

    Could they have had a spotter to direct Jennifer Capriatti to her bike? All you can get in the Superstars is hurt.
    She was a complete ball buster. I'm sure TO has gotten with his agent and told them he won't appear with this betch ever again. After 5 minutes of her; I wanted to throw up.

    You'd never hear me calling myself a TO fan. However, I can acknowledge he is a hell of an athlete. Sure he had a lot of drops last year, but athletically speaking, he's a horse. Who is this model to question him... Part of me finds it hilarious that TO is getting the "TO treatment", but c'mon... Like she has any room to question TO on athletic ability. Of course, as karma would have it... She was the reason they got eliminated in the long run.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel bad for TO!!! True, he probably learned what it was like to be TO's quarterback, but wow, Krupa is one nasty piece of work!

    He did mess up pretty bad. Doofus.
    She's not very nice, but he's an a$$. I have no pity for him, I hope he cried when he went home.

    T.O. had a lot of drops last year? Where have you been for the rest of his career? He's known for two things: burning his bridges and quarterbacks and dropping passes. That's everywhere he goes, starting in S.F. The reason he's known more for his drops than his catches is because he's such an idiot in his relationships with fellow players. If he was humiliated in this silly little stunt he'll make it up to the world by being all the more rude and irrational with Trent Edwards. I agree with the obnoxious broad in the video - T.O., shut-up.

    TO was more worried about injuring himself than actually competing. In this regard, he is correct. However, it was funny as all get out watching that beeaiiitch call him on it. LOL

    We all know the REAL deal. Krupa had the hots for T.O. and he wasn't interested. The sexual tension boiled over and she ended up acting like a B**ch and a complete spoiled brat. Lets not forget that she was given the lead in the final elimination and she BLEW it. She has no class...but then what would you expect from a model.

    lol did anyone actually watch the whole entire show..T.O was dragging this b*itch through almost every event. The first event he pretty much pushed her on a bike throughout the 10 (i think) or so mile course..while he ran 98% of it. I'm no T.O fan..but props to him for pulling a Chris Brown move on her haha.

    Can you say, "BIAAAATCH"
    TO's comments about his QB's were not exactly right, but at least it was., in a weird way, business related.
    This show is obviously for fun and hopefully for charity....she should have a little more class

    I would take a bad day with T.O. over any good day with Joanna. She acted a fool and was a horribly BAD sport. Who is she anyway?

    T.O deserved that for sure. Step it up on the ropes man. It took you way to long. He kinda knew he blew it when the chick was cackling and he just rolled his eyes.

    Far be it for me to call anyone ignorant, but am I the ONLY person that understands that this is MADE FOR TV entertainment....Do you really think an athlete like T.O., a man that prides himself in maintaining TOP PHYSICAL SHAPE is going to "STRUGGLE" to get through a net?...lol....Come on people TRAINING CAMP is much harder than what you saw on TV...lol...I mean what makes it quite funny to me and obvious to me that T.O. and his teammate were hamming it up for the camera; is that you can hear him grunting like "oh I cant do this"...lol....People, really, I mean really, understand that this is MADE FOR TV ENTERTAINMENT....lol...When have you ever heard T.O. just sit by and let someone talk crap about him and not say a word...especially when its on TV...lol

    Joanna and TO - they are both spoiled, neurotic, pampered [profane]s- but the entertainment value of this show was extraordinary
    which ever TV exec came up with this idea should get a bonus
    I was glued to the TV and the conflcit between those two was just part of the greatness of the program

    Best thing I heard all week. The part about why do they pay you millions for, that was great. I have not laughed that hard in a while.

    I'll be the first to admit, I despise T.O. I think he's an arrogant, lousy, selfish human being. However, this [profane] gave him a run for his money! Who The Eff is this Joanna chick anyway? Does anyone know who she is? Probably some washed up model (or actress, whatever she THINKS she is) who's trying to hold on to her last minute of fame. At least T.O. is still in the spotlight! This chick is a has-been!
