You just have to love Terrell Owens. He’s the gift that keeps on giving.
T.O. has not been a factor around these parts since the now-infamous meltdown he suffered that led to his separation from the Eagles after their incredible 2004 run to the Super Bowl.
You remember the images, Owens doing crunches in the front yard of his Jersey mansion. The “next question” press conference with his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Priceless stuff.
T.O. has since moved on to greener pastures. But he hasn’t changed his act.
The extremely talented wide receiver (no one will convince me he was not the most valuable person on that Eagles team and the biggest reason they went from perennial contender to actual player in a Super Bowl) is up to his old tricks again.
He’s unhappy with his quarterback. This time it’s Dallas starter Tony Romo. Owens apparently believes that Romo and tight end Jason Witten are somehow conspiring to design plays that exclude him.
In the meantime, the Cowboys are sniping at each other. Owner Jerry Jones even took a few shots at running back Marion Jones, who sat out their last game with what some consider a minor injury.
All of this comes as the Eagles take dead aim at a playoff position, one they likely will have to climb over the Cowboys to attain.
The Cowboys face the Giants Sunday night. It’s hard to stomach, but you have to pull for the Giants.
In the meantime, the Eagles also have to go about their business, likely needing to run the table, winning their last three games.
And that last game, the Sunday after Christmas? That would be against those very Dallas Cowboys at the Linc.
How does this sound: Winner goes to the playoffs; loser goes home.
I’m sure we could muster a few more “season’s greetings” for our old pal T.O. and the Cowboys.
