Terrell Owens Comments:Jeff Garcia Gay Terrell Owens Interview

“Like my boy tells me: If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.” “I probably wouldn’t say anything right off the bat. I’d just see what everyone else has to say. I’d probably keep my distance and, hopefully, he would keep his. If it was a guy who was helping us win ball games, hey, I’d have no problem with it. He can do what he wants to do outside of my everyday life.”

Terrell Owens denied he ever made any gay comments about Jeff 24 hours later:

I didn’t say that he was gay.”"The conversation and the interview were loose. To my knowledge, I’m not sure if Jeff is gay or not. I’ve seen him out — he had a girlfriend when we were in San Fran. There’s been a recent report that he has a girlfriend now. That was the extent of it. Everybody’s going to make a big deal out of it. It wasn’t like I came out and said ‘Jeff was gay.’ People asked me similar questions about Steve Young. Everybody is going to have their rumors.”

Garcia,who is now the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, added fire to flames by saying:

“It’s really a waste of my time to sit here and have to answer to such ridiculous, untrue comments that are made out there in the world today. So many people know my situation here. It has never been a secret. It has been written about my girlfriend and about my girlfriends in the past. I don’t have a problem about myself, my teammates don’t have a problem with me, and we know what it is.”
