Spaulding Plays Jerry Maguire

OK, let's think about this for a minute. Terrell Owens is recognized as a phenomenal athlete -- perhaps the best at his position. Soooo, if you're his agent, shouldn't you be all over his a** telling him that every time he does stupid stuff like this he is foregoing MASSIVE amounts of money that he could have made in contracts, endorsements, public appearances, etc. if he could just quit doing stupid stuff and play football? You would think so, and perhaps his agent has tried. But if he has, it isn't working...

AP:

ATLANTA - DeAngelo Hall has always considered Terrell Owens to be friend. They would talk on the phone and playfully taunt each other.

Not anymore. Not after Owens spit in Hall’s face.

“He had a couple of nice catches,” said Hall, the Atlanta Falcons’ Pro Bowl cornerback. “You expect that. He’s a great player. Right before the first punt, though, we kind of got in each other’s face, talking back and forth, and I lost all respect for him when he spit in my face.”

Owens, Dallas’ star receiver, acknowledged losing his temper with Hall in the Cowboys’ 38-28 victory Saturday night.

“I got frustrated and I apologize for that,” Owens told the NFL Network. “It was a situation where he kept bugging me and getting in my face.”

Owens beat Hall for a 7-yard touchdown late in the first quarter and a 51-yard score midway through the second Following the third play from scrimmage, however, Hall used his forearms to shove Owens on the Atlanta sideline. Neither player was involved in Jason Whitten’s 19-yard catch to the Dallas 31, but Hall stayed after Owens.

Owens responded by spitting in his face.

TO -- that flushing sound you keep hearing in the background is all the money you could have made going down a massive drain.
