Terrell Owens Won't Play with Donovan McNabb on Fantasy Teams

DALLAS - Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens hinted that he is prepared to cause trouble for fantasy football team owners who draft him and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.
In an exclusive interview with ESPN's Michael Irvin that will air on Sports Center tonight, Mr. Owens declares he would rather do sit-ups in his driveway than "carry that Uncle Tom's sorry *** through a fantasy football season the way I had to carry him when I was in Philadelphia."
When Mr. Irvin asked Mr. Owens whom he would prefer at quarterback on fantasy teams, he replied, "Brett Favre or Tom Brady or Payton Manning. They've all got an understanding of the quarterback position. Besides, they ain't no mama's-boy chokers."
Mr. Owens has missed twelve straight practices with Dallas, complaining of a sore hamstring even though an MRI did not reveal a tear or any visible damage to the hamstring. At least one team official has wondered out loud if Mr. Owens' "injury" may be his way of bringing pressure to bear on fantasy team owners who are thinking of pairing him with Mr. McNabb.
Another source close to the Cowboys, noting that quarterback Drew Bledsoe was not among Mr. Owen's fantasy choices, wondered if Mr. Owens has already begun a campaign to sabotage Mr. Bledsoe.
"It's interesting to note that T.O. began complaining about his hamstring the day after Drew overthrew him three times in practice," said the source.
Mr. Bledsoe was unavailable for comment concerning any possible rift with Mr. Owens or the source of the rumor making the rounds in the Cowboys locker room that he, Mr. Bledsoe, is gay.
Mr. McNabb, for his part, seemed prepared to take the high road once again in the face of this latest onslaught from T.O.
"We don't have to be speaking to one another in order to help a fantasy team," Mr. McNabb told Philadelphia Inquirer sports-lifestyle-and-fashion columnist Foxly Ash.
In other news, the United States Army is downplaying an Antiwar.com story that claims that scores of soldiers have gone AWOL before shipping out to Iraq because they have yet to meet any of the seventy-two hot women they had been promised by the Army recruiters who enlisted them.
