I vote: Fuckknuckle (with a hint of asshat in the background) What kind of ass carries a Sharpie in his sock? I can’t wait until he takes a hard hit, and the defender takes out a Sharpie and signs his ass. > [@](#): > > “There is no ‘I’ in team” speech I **love** this speech!

More importantly, there are (among others): mate, eat, meat, and tea. The implications of these vital facts are left as an exercise for the reader. ---

Obviously, risk and reward are all that a WR perceives. I suggest, in my imitable modest style the **Owen’s Taunting Rule:** > [@](#): > > After a taunt is declared, and irrespective of any wrist-slaps delivered by the league, players on the opposing team may blindside, level, or chop block with impunity the taunter on the next play that the taunter rejoins the field. Bet that’d cut down on those “spur of the moment” joyous occasions. ---

uh you guys who are pissed off about this are a buncha morons, I mean did you SEE the game? he scored, came to a stop at the back of the endzone, pulled out a pen signed the ball and handed it to the guy all in just a few seconds. if it hadn’t been for the camera the only thing ANYONE would have known is that he gave someone a ball. he didnt try to draw any attention to what he was doing at all and it seemed to me he was trying to get it done quickly and quitely. I admit the truth is alot lamer than I thought originally, I thought he was signing and passing the ball to a random fan. but either way he didn’t seem to be going out of his way to piss anyone off at all. remember if not for that camera man noone would have known of this at all. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by rexnervous \* > \*\*Owens is a major headcase, his ego needs its own neighborhood, he bitches and moans too much, and is just a tad (or several tads) too selfish. > > … > > 1. He is the best WR in the league. Period. > \*\* Let me change that “Period” into a “Question Mark”, then say “Hell No”. Then I’ll show you Marvin Harrison, who puts monster numbers week in and week out, year after year, without smoking blunts and running over city officials, and without acting like a four year old when dealing with his coach, and all the while (GLARING AT MOSS AND TO) he is a factor in every game he plays, not just when he feels like playing. Harrison is the epitome of a stud player and a class guy and the NFL needs more players like him. The whole sharpie thing? bah. Annoying? I guess somewhat. Worth this much noise over? Not IMO. Then again, I was very amused when he threw his little display down in Dallas a few years earlier. But then again, I hate the Cowboys, so take it FWIW. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Critical1 \* > remember if not for that camera man noone would have known of this at all. You’re right. I’m sure Owens had no idea that a cameraman would be anywhere near him. They’re not supposed to allow cameras at a Monday Night Football game, are they?
