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.

mick,
The Lions showed a good defensive front against the Seahawks...and look what the Seahawks did to the New York Football Giants' defense. (42-3 in the 3rd Qt.)

Seahawks should be tested Sunday night vs. Chicago (Nationally televised)
NBC 5:15 PST

Even w/o MVP Shaun Alexander...the offense will be formidable with their new "Fantastic Four" wide receiver set that includes former Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch.

Yes, there was TV and yes, I watched it.

The answer is the same as for this question: When will Matt Millen be fired?

A lot of people are on the same page, Chuck.
Yet, I have never seen a game where any general manager misses a tackle or drops a pass.

About two years after the Browns ever come back to playing Pro Football. This semi pro team we have now in Cleveland is horrible.
