NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A lawsuit filed Friday by a former St. Louis Rams player and a few others seeks millions of dollars in damages from the alleged taping of Rams practices by the New England Patriots right before the 2002 Super Bowl.

The claims are that the taping of those practices led to the the Patriots winning the game 20-17 in the Superdome unfairly.

The $100 million suit, filed on behalf of former Rams player Willie Gary in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, names the Patriots, team owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick.

T.O. Sheds Tears

Sunday, January 13, 2008

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens (81) sits on the bench during the fourth quarter against the New York Giants in an NFC divisional playoff football game, Sunday, Jan. 13, 2008, in Irving, Texas. New York won 21-17.

For the second year in a row, the Cowboys' season ended in tears. Last January, Romo bobbled the snap on a potential game-winning field goal attempt in Seattle and cried afterward. This January, Romo threw the interception to McQuarters, and Owens cried afterward. The Giants expressed no sympathy. "We've got butter for their popcorn," Pierce said.

After the game, T.O. Sheds Tears for Cowboys Quarterback...

An ancient parable

A fox and a scorpion wandered along the banks of a wide river, both wondering how to get across. The scorpion was too small to cross himself, yet he had knowledge of a place where the river was more shallow and less wide, and much easier to cross. The fox, while an exceptional swimmer, was wise enough to know he was not strong enough to swim the full width of the river.

When the fox and the scorpion crossed paths, the scorpion made his proposal, "If you agree to carry me across the river, I will show you to the place where it is easiest to cross."

The fox said, "No. If I carry you, you'll sting me and I'll drown."

The scorpion assured him, "If I did that, we'd both drown."

The fox thought about it and finally agreed. So the scorpion showed the fox the easy crossing as promised, climbed up on the fox's back and the fox began to swim.

Halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him.
As the poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said,

"Why did you do that? Now you'll drown too."

"I couldn't help it," said the scorpion. "It's my nature."



The lesson

T.O. is destructive to every team he is on. On his own, he cannot cross that Superbowl "river". His knowledge and his skills can compliment a strong, well-coached team, but his destructive nature will eventually bring down whatever team is carrying him, and he doesn't care whether or not he is brought down as well.

Does the scorpion possess knowledge to help you cross?
Yes, absolutely... but he's going to sting you.
He can't help it: it's in his nature.



Eagles' effort to recover portion of bonus backed by arbitrator
- Associated Press



02/01/2008 PHILADELPHIA -- Terrell Owens should set aside part of his roster bonus from Dallas to pay his old team a debt.

An arbitrator ruled in favor of the Philadelphia Eagles last Friday on a grievance that was filed by the NFL players' union on Owens' behalf in 2005.

A team spokesman said the Eagles would not comment. Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, did not return a phone message left by AP.

The union disputed the Eagles' effort to recover $1.725 million of the $2.3 million signing bonus the team paid the wide receiver when it signed him to a seven-year, $48.97 million deal in 2004.

Owens was kicked off the team seven games into the 2005 season for a series of infractions, including repeated criticism of quarterback Donovan McNabb and lashing out against management. He was suspended four games without pay and the team withheld his final five paychecks, totaling $955,880. That means Owens still owes the Eagles $769,120.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said this month he plans to pay Owens a $3 million roster bonus, so the All-Pro should have some extra cash to pay the Eagles.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, citing a league source, first reported arbitrator Shyam Das ruled against Owens. An NFL spokesman confirmed the report to the AP.
