Hummmm....not that basketball in this country has many particulary good examples now -- but if football is so special and Terrell Owens is considered one of the very best at being special, I won't blame the rest of the world for not caring too much about the sport.

A Dallas paper is reporting that TO's "reaction" to the pain pills was caused by intentionally taking 45 of them at once.

ESPN.com also has a story on its front page.

The thing I like about TO is that he no longer is in Philly. A great combo with him in Dallas, my 32nd favorite team.
