Behind the bluster is a man who just wants to play
Wed Feb 2, 6:13 PM ET
Terrell Owens, alleged head case and flashy showman, has never looked more normal than now. He desperately wants to play in the Super Bowl. Like a little boy stubborn about his dream.

For once Owens does right thing
Wed Feb 2, 2:08 PM ET
Terrell Owens is proving himself to be as tough as any of the players who always made your father's Sunday. Owens should be applauded for it, too. He's a New School star with an Old School threshold for pain, and no taste-free ad with a towel-free actress can detract from that.

De La Hoya the promoter swings at King, Arum
Wed Feb 2, 6:52 AM ET
As a fighter, Oscar De La Hoya always showed respect for opponents. But as a promoter, he is a quick study in trash talk. Of warhorse promoters Bob Arum and Don King, De La Hoya recently said: " It's only a matter of time before they are gone. Once they're gone, boxing will change for the better."
