NFL legend Terrell Owens has pointed to former ESPN personality Skip Bayless as the primary reason for his negative portrayal in the media. Owens made the comments during a media availability at the MLBx All-Star 3-on-3 event at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on July 12, 2026.
Owens, a six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, said Bayless was "obviously the No. 1 culprit" in shaping a negative narrative around his career. The Hall of Famer has frequently clashed with Bayless over the years, with the commentator often criticizing Owens' attitude and team dynamics.
The remarks come as Owens continues to address his legacy and media treatment following his playing career.
