• Roger Clemens Linked to John Daly’s Ex, Paulette Dean Daly
  

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.

I know I’m a day late on the Terrell Owens cry baby video, but here it is anyways. Those tears look authentic, but I’m sorry T.O. I still don’t feel sorry for you and your Cowboys and yes, I will still say Tony Romo should have kept his focus on preparing for the game and not on Ms. Simpson last weekend.

This video kind of reminded me of another guy who defended someone he truly loved.

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.

For the first time in weeks, Tom Brady didn’t put up the best fantasy numbers of the week. Rather, it was a rookie who blew away the competition en route to setting a new NFL record.

Here are the players who stood out above the rest this weekend.

• Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson had himself a record day. The Vikings’ rookie running back had an NFL single game record 296 yards on the ground with 3 touchdowns. He had runs of 1, 64, and 46 yards and an average of 9.9 yards per carry. It was Peterson’s second 200-yard rushing game of the year.
• Just because Tom Brady didn’t have another great game, Randy Moss still put up his usual numbers. The Patriot had 9 grabs for 145 yards and 1 touchdown.
• Marshawn Lynch was the other rookie running back with a good afternoon. The Buffalo Bill had 153 yards rushing with a touchdown and another passing TD on the day.
• Clinton Portis almost had a 200-yard rushing day for himself, but fell just shy. The Redskin finished with 196 yards and a touchdown.
• Drew Brees led the Saints to their fourth straight win by throwing for 445 yards and 3 touchdowns.
• Colts running back Joseph Addai was a double threat yesterday as he ran for 112 yards and had 114 yards receiving with a touchdown.
• Terrell Owens showed up his former team last night as the Cowboys receiver caught 10 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Eagles.

Note: San Diego Charger Antonio Cromartie returned a missed field goal 109 yards for a touchdown to set a new record for the longest play in NFL history.
