T.O. Shows His Eagle Pride

Last night as the Pittsburgh Steelers managed to defeat the mighty Bengals, the NFL Network showed an interview of Terrell Owens by noted journalist Deion Sanders. And T.O. was wearing a shirt with an Eagle on it! Anybody else I’d chalk it up to coincidence, but there is no way it was not a direct, intentional move by Terrell Owens. We’ve been through this before, no?

Terrell Owens Tells Hilarious Jokes

Noted awesome former Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens just signed a brand new contract. He’s going to celebrate by helping new teammate Pacman Jones by telling an off-color joke, to get the heat off him:

Terrell Owens has an idea for keeping his new teammate Adam “Pacman” Jones out of trouble.

Owens, who is being recognized this summer as an Alzheimer’s Association Champion for his work for the foundation, says Jones — who was suspended from the NFL after a series of arrests, including one stemming from a shootout at a Las Vegas strip club — should join him in his charity work.

“I hope we can get him affected by [Alzheimer's] just a little bit so he can forget about those strip clubs,” Owens joked in an interview with ABC News Radio.

Oh, TO. Another one of your hilarious Alzheimer’s jokes. That’s a good way to get people riled up — something you like to do, apparently — and make everyone forget about Pacman Jones’ strip club visits.

N.J. Cop Charged With Sex With Cow

A cop in Moorestown, N.J. — America’s greatest place to live, or something — was recently charged with sexually assaulting three girls.

And now, naturally, he’s facing more charges related to sex he allegedly had with a cow. Yes, Officer Robert Melia Jr. allegedly engaged in sex with cows four times between June and December of 2006.

What makes this even more amazing is Terrell Owens was in the background while this man was having sex with cows! Unbelievable!

Terrell Owens Repeats Sentences From 2 Years Ago

In an interview in last week’s issue of Time, Terrell Owens not only noted he likes Donovan McNabb, says “Get yo popcorn ready” and shares the same favorite TV channel as my mother (HGTV, no lie) but also decided to answer the same exact question that got him into trouble two years ago.

If you could choose any quarterback in the NFL to be the No. 1 in Dallas, who would it be and why? Patrick McLeod, PANAMA CITY

Man, that’s a tricky question. I don’t want to cause trouble … O.K., I would say Peyton Manning, then Donovan McNabb. Peyton has history on his side, with his dad being a quarterback, and you can’t say enough about how studious he is in the film room.

What? No mention of the gunslinger, Brett Favre? This hasn’t spun out of control like the last time Terrell Owens opened his mouth about what QB from another team he’d like to be under center for his squad, but this guy seems to have the right idea: “I don’t care about T.O. Trust me. What I do want is the pot to be stirred in Dallas.”

Since it was already in freaking Time, I don’t think I can help push it along much, but, hey, consider this my contribution. When the Eagles beat Dallas twice again this year, you can thank me.

10 Questions for Terrell Owens [Time]

T.O. Wants No Part Of Dan Gross

For a while, the Daily News‘ Dan Gross has been content to write about Lil’ Kim masturbating, make Alycia Lane angry, piss off John Ogden’s mother and, of course, publish the Iron Sheik’s insults toward Hulk Hogan.

Well, apparently, Terrell Owens has been reading, because he wanted nothing to do with the Daily News columnist:

“Don’t be calling my phone, I don’t know you like that,” was all Terrell Owens said when we reached him on his cell yesterday seeking details on what business brought him and agent Drew Rosenhaus to town last week. [...]

[CN8's Greg] Coy asked if the former Iggles star wanted to come on the live show, but Owens declined, between bites of an omelet. When we reached Owens yesterday, he said he had nothing to say about why he was here and asked again that we not call his phone. We asked him for a name of a publicist whom we should be calling, but he hung up on us.

In summary, the report: T.O. was in Philly and ate an omelet.

T.O. Calls Eskin, Hilarity Ensues

Just when you think Terrell Owens might be out of the Philadelphia sports world, he comes right back in. Yesterday, the embattled receiver actually called in to Howard Eskin’s drive-time show. (Eskin at first is expecting a joke caller.)

The two discuss their meeting at the Super Bowl — where T.O. called Eskin a jerk — like third graders. Owens accuses Eskin of lying. Owens says he didn’t make a snide remark about Bill Parcells. T.O. blames the media. Eskin accuses Owens of being mad about Eskin’s canned food drive (which was done for T.O., har har!), which leads Owens to say a sentence never uttered before in English: “Who told you I was mad about your canned food drive?” Eskin also offers the lamest bet in history, saying he’ll congratulate Owens if he’s on the Cowboys roster next year.

Here’s the interview, from 610 WIP.

Owens’ voice has some sort of echo effect, meaning he’s calling from a cave or his own hyperbaric chamber.

T.O. Continues To Inspire Philadelphia Youth

Earlier today, we introduced you to Sami Wylie, the Lincoln University player who hit 21 threes on 44 shots in just 24 minutes in a press-the-whole-game 201-78 victory over the weekend.

Checking out his online bio, we learn that… well, just guess what his favorite book is:

• Why is 10-time Congressman — I like to refer to it as if they were winning something respectable, like a wrestling belt — Curt Weldon having trouble in his re-election big? Gee, I dunno, I wonder what Curt Weldon could have done to make him unpopular. But, y’know, he does have it on good intelligence that Osama is dead, so you’d better vote for him. [Salon]

• Oh, yeah, and there’s a giant hole in Broad Street at Lombard. So, uh, avoid that area.
