That’s what the Philadelphia Eagles have been screaming to Terrell Owens and now they have taken the matter to the U.S. District Court.

Owens lost in arbitration earlier this year, where he was ordered to repay $1.7 million in bonus money the team paid him during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Apparently Owens still has about $770,000 to repay or to be exact, $769,117.

Remember a while back Owens trademarked the phrase, “I Love Me Some Me”? Well, the Eagles want some of you too Owens. All $770,000 of you. I don’t see what the hold up is. You should have some money left over from the 3-year, $25 million contract you signed with the Dallas Cowboys.

That’s how many millions of people tuned into for Super Bowl XLII between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots yesterday.

It is the largest audience to tune into a Super Bowl, eclipsing the previous mark of 94.08 million viewers who watched the Dallas Cowboys take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1996.

The number is also the second largest audience to watch a television event, coming in second only to the series finale of M*A*S*H back in 1983, which had 106 million viewers.

Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys were one of the many teams upset this weekend in the second round of the NFL Playoffs. Since Romo couldn’t lead his team to the NFC Championship Game, he can now spend some more PDA filled evenings with his new sweetheart, Jessica Simpson. I wonder if her parents will tag along again.

Here are the players who helped out their team this weekend and some who didn’t:

New York Giants 24, Dallas Cowboys 17

• Eli Manning didn’t turn the ball over once and connected to Amani Toomer for two touchdown passes.

San Diego Chargers 28, Indianapolis Colts 24

• Philip Rivers tossed for three touchdowns despite a non-existent LaDainian Tomlinson, who left with a leg injury.
• Peyton Manning was his usual self with over 400-yards passing and four touchdowns, but it was his two interceptions in Charger territory that proved to be crucial.

New England Patriots 31, Jacksonville Jaguars 20

• Tom Brady only threw two incomplete passes, connecting on 26 passes and throwing three touchdowns.

Green Bay Packers 42, Seattle Seahawks 20

• Brett Favre and Ryan Grant each had three touchdowns, including 201 yards rushing for Grant.
• Seattle’s running game was pretty much non-existent, as Shaun Alexander led the Seahawks with 20-yards.

Apparently there are other more important things on Tony Romo’s mind than the New York Giants next weekend.

That other “thing” happens to be Jessica Simpson, who Romo took to Los Cabos, Mexico last week for a little vacation before his first playoff game this Sunday. But the dimpled-duo weren’t alone as they were joined by her parents who always seem to be around when she’s a significant other, and some of Romo’s teammates.

Being a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I could careless about what extra curricular activities Tony Romo wants to involve himself in during the playoffs, but after last year’s botched field goal hold, you’d think that he’d want to lock himself in his house and think about nothing but football.

We all know that Terrell Owens is in love with himself.

Who could forget the comical, shirtless T.O. doing sit-ups in his driveway giving interviews for reporters when he was banned from training camp by the Philadelphia Eagles. The man has never shied away from the reporters and deflected attention. He loves it all, himself and now he wants to have that in writing.

Owens has apparently filed an application to trademark the phrase ” I love me some me” to use on restaurants, cups, clothing and whatever else he plans on branding the phrase. Maybe he’ll tattoo it across his chest for his next sit-up interview.

I love me some me? Kind of has a nice ring to it.
