Terrell Owens will never win a championship.

Neither did Randy Moss, Barry Bonds, Jeremy Shockey or Kellen Winslow Jr.

But today I’d like to talk about Owens, the anti-New England Patriot, the man who nothing surprises anyone about, the Dennis Rodman of the NFL, the man who is sure the world was created primarily to praise him. You know about his big contract with the Niners a couple years ago, when his agent forgot to cross a few Ts and score a few Is, and Owens accidentally missed free agency. You know how he vetoed a trade to Baltimore by threatening not to report, and you know how he got into Philadelphia. You know how, this offseason, she stomped and groaned like Angelina Jolie in front of a fake boob detector, because she didn’t like the incredibly lucrative contract she signed the year before. But do you know TO didn’t like that the Eagles didn’t stop the game and hold a ceremony honoring his 100th touchdown reception two weeks ago?

That’s right, horror of horrors, Owens came out this week and questioned the entire Eagles organization because, in the midst of a terrible skein in which the defending NFC champions look like they might struggle to finish with a winning record , the team did not. highlight an individual achievement for a player who has been louder than Cyndi Lauper. And this after the Eagles recognized their 100th TD overall just a few weeks ago. Then, after calling the organization, Owens set his sights on QB Donovan McNabb, saying it’s Donny’s fault the team is losing, and that if the Eagles had Brett Favre at the helm, they would be undefeated. Is the man crazy? They lost 49-21 last week. McNabb clogging rush lanes? Do you defend the bombs? Does he bomb? Do you address it?

No, TO has ended up in Philadelphia, as well as San Francisco and Baltimore. He will never get the fans back now, and he will probably leave this offseason, going to another franchise that will buy fool’s gold of his physical talents, and that will guarantee themselves, like the Niners and Eagles before them. , who will never win a title with Owens on board.
I feel like a great NFL game is coming. How do you see the Colts / Patriots game next Monday night? Even if you don’t want to tell us who your pick is, please tell us how you think bettors will behave. Where do you think the audience will end up and why?

Rob Gillespie, BoDog.ws: Colts undefeated, defense receives respect, after a week off. The Pats’ injuries are common knowledge and they looked mediocre against the Bills on national television. The public will agree with the Colts and even some pros seem to have jumped that way early. The Patriots have been amazing at finding ways to frustrate the Colts in recent years, but the running back’s injuries make the challenge especially tough. I can see it’s closer than people expect, getting 3.5 at home would be enough to bite into.

The same goes for the big difference at Blacksburg this weekend: Miami vs. Virginia Tech. Does Tech have another big conference win? Does Miami have enough offense to score? Where will the public be in this one and what do you hope the implications of the national title will be?

RG, BoDog.ws: It’s going to be an interesting game. Both teams haven’t faced a tough opponent in weeks. Miami has been a double-digit favorite in their last five games (and 20+ point favorites in the last four), while VT has been a double-digit favorite in their last seven games. Whoever gets out the door quickly will have a great advantage. Technology has kept Miami in check for the last two years and I can see that will happen again. I hope the public action is divided as people are not really sure about any of these teams. If VT can win, or better yet, win big, maybe they can get a couple of votes out of USC or Texas, but the reality is that they won’t get into a title game unless one of those teams loses. They should get a boost in computer polls, which will help them stay ahead of Alabama and UCLA. Miami would probably only climb one spot with a surprise and it would take several teams to lose to get a title shot.

Is there any way that Reggie Bush doesn’t win the Heisman?

RG, BoDog.ws: Yes. If UCLA keeps it to 30 yards on 20 carries, it misses punts three times and the Trojans lose 48-10. Or if Vince Young has 500 combined yards a few more times in comeback wins.

What do you think of Theo Epstein’s resignation as general manager of the Boston Red Sox? Will the world roll off its axis (as everyone in Boston seems to fear), or will the Red Sox be a major contender in 2006?

RG, BoDog.ws: If you asked me a month ago which Epstein or Cashman would be with your team next year, I would have been wrong! The Red Sox must have some problems with the front office; win the World Series and Pedro Bolts. Now they are contenders and ManRam wants out. Why do players want to go to the Yankees and leave the Red Sox?
