Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2004 This is from Fox Sports Net http://msn.foxsports.com/story/2656912 Terrell Owens often bickered with Jeff Garcia when the two were San Francisco 49ers teammates. The fact that both players joined new teams during the off-season hasn't quieted Owens, who recently implied Garcia was gay, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The newspaper reported Owens, in the September issue of Playboy, answered Garcia's denials that he is gay by saying, "Like my boy tells me: If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, then by golly, it is a rat." Owens was asked about his comments Tuesday following Eagles practice. And the standout wide receiver offered some clarification by repeating his statement. But he also added the Playboy interview was a "loose" interview and "everybody was going to make a big deal out of it. But it wasn't like I came right out and said Jeff was gay." Owens also added in his talk following practice that he thought Garcia — who signed with the Browns in March — has a girlfriend. "He had a girlfriend when we were in San Fran and there's been reports he has a girlfriend now so that was the extent of (the magazine interview)," Owens said. Coincidentally, the Inquirer reported Garcia's girlfriend, Carmella Decesare, was a high-profile bystander at Browns practice Tuesday. Decesare is the 2004 Playboy Playmate of the Year. TO-a class act we can all know and love. Not sure what to make of his comments except that TO is a jerk, but what's new? I don't think the Eagles play the Browns this year, so no reciepts to be had there. However, TO probrably has that Eagles/Browns circled for concern that one Ray Lewis is looking for him for opening his mouth earlier the other week ragging on Lewis.

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2004 Bold prediction: Somebody gets sick of Terrell Owens' primadonna bullshit, cleans his clock in Week 3, and ends his season at 231 yards and 0 touchdowns, thereby flushing Philadelphia's shot at the Super Bowl along with the hopes and dreams of fantasy footballers everywhere.

Put him on the the cover of SI and Madden '06 -- that ought to do it. A kid asked Tom Jackson if it was OK for gays to play QB. They can, but I'm sure they'd make better wide receivers...

Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted August 12, 2004 Who cares? Playboy asked him if he thought Garcia was gay, and he said his opinion. He didn't cross any line. I sensed his comments about homosexuals on his team to be more one of ambivilence. If everyone else accepted him, he would too. It shows that he is more of a follower than a despicable individual.
