Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens punched a man over the weekend in Southern California, a brawl that the retired football great said Monday was self-defense.
TMZ originally posted video of the altercation that unfolded late Saturday night in Inglewood, after Owens — best known for his years with the San Francisco 49ers before enjoying productive seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles — went shopping at a CVS Pharmacy.
Owens, 48, told NBC News Monday afternoon that the TMZ footage accurately depicted the fisticuffs, but didn't capture what led up to the fight.
Terrell Owens made one catch in Week 1 of Fan Controlled Football, and he made it count - for a touchdown! Fans at home and at Pullman Yards in Atlanta made their play selections and the players on the field played it out. NBCLX contributor Keith Kocinski shows you an up-close and behind-the-scenes view of the second season of FCF action.
