T.O.

You know I've been a fan of Terrell Owens for a long time, even before he was with the Cowboys, but this little blame game has already gotten on my nerves and I just barely heard this one. Does it really matter if Jason Garrett and Tony Romo were to blame for TO being cut? No it doesn't one bit. Honestly, Owens will be playing this year with a decent team for $6.5 million this year, so why should it matter? He got a great paying job with an up and coming team.

Whether Dallas will be better without him is to be seen and I honestly don't think it can be measured. If Dallas goes 14-2 this season TO gets the blame for the past three seasons, and if they go 8-8 and miss the playoffs then TO would be given a God tag for the Cowboys "success" the past three seasons. When it all comes down to it Owens is not a member of Americas Team and should have no bearing whatsoever on how the Cowboys do this season. If Dallas wins the Super Bowl then I don't want to hear the name of last years No. 81.

Like I said earlier, I love TO and the immense talent that he brings to any team. You can't "blame" anyone for the fact that you are no longer a member of the Dallas Cowboys. Best wishes on the tough AFC East and good luck with helping Trent Edwards become a good quarterback.

Finally

It may be too early to say this but we finally have great playoff basketball in the Eastern and Western Conference Finals. In four games the scores have been separated by only 7 points combined. Outside of any series Boston was involved in (two game sevens with Chicago and Orlando), there hasn't been great basketball until now.

I know LA and Houston went to seven games but that was a horrible series when the Lakers can win by 40 in LA then lose big in Houston. That was, hands down, the least entertaining seven game series I have seen in my entire life.

With two 1 point wins in the series, Cleveland and Orlando seem to be destined for at least one great overtime game and hoping for a Chicago/Boston series with King James rising up to take the East once again. Game winning 3s in both games by LeBron and Rashard Lewis respectably. Not to mention Hedo Turkoglu may have had the best final 2 minutes in game 2 but he got showed up by the King himself. Turkoglu had five HUGE points to end that game including 2 to put them up. If it wasn't for him, James wouldn't have had that opputunity to play savior for the city of Cleveland.

LA and Denver hasn't been as close but the physicality and passion shown by these teams make it a great series. Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony's epic battles so far in this series is just something people should buy TiVo just so they can record all these games so they don't have to wait for it to come on ESPN Classic.

Thank you to King James, Kobe, 'Melo, Superman, Turk, Rashard, and Mr. Big Shot for making this a great end of may and maybe this will just be a preview for what's coming in June.

Greg Ellis

The rumors are starting to fly around Greg Ellis and the Dallas Cowboys again. Could Dallas really be trying to trade Greg Ellis? This is a one word answer: YES. This is not a knock on Ellis at all but when you spend two first round draft picks on that position recently, then I believe its almost a lock to shop his around the league. He is an immense talent and I love him as a player but he is getting up there in age (34).

Anthony Spencer looks a lot like the heir apparent to Ellis because of his pass rushing skills. Bobby Carpenter is by no means the next great pass rusher for the Cowboys. Carpenter probably will be a great backup until he decides to leave for a system that fits him better. Spencer could be the answer to replace Ellis if Dallas does get a good offer for the man who has 77 career sacks (all with the Cowboys).

Don't worry Mr. Ellis, this could just be a sign of the changing that the Cowboys have been striving for by giving the boot to TO and PacMan. I am in no way putting you in the same category as them. In fact I am going to put you in the category of Roy Williams in the way that the Cowboys are just getting younger. I would love to see you in New England, even though the Cowboys would end up meeting you in the Super Bowl. I have great love and respect for you and wish you nothing but the best for you in the future.

What sucks more?

What sucks more for the Chicago White Sox: a 20-1 lose or Jake Peavy saying "thanks but HELL NO!"?

20-1- I don't know if there anything worse in major league baseball than to give up 20 runs in a game and only scoring one, but the good thing is that is wasn't a shutout. They did score the last run of the game which could be one gleam in dark lose.

Peavy- This is without a doubt the biggest lost for the ChiSox. You go to give up four prospects to the Padres for Jake Peavy to say I dont want to play for you. Really? He wants to play in the midwest and would have signed off on the cross town Cubs. The reason? He likes to hit. If you enjoy batting then why would you sign off on a deal to send you to the AL. That would be like Carlos Zambrano, a beast at the plate, ending up playing for the Yankees. Enough said.

Mr. Vick

Mike Vick was released from prison yesterday morning. Im honestly tired of hearing all the PETA people complaining about him still. The man messed up, went to prison, and seems to have learned what he did was wrong. So why still pursue this man like he fought dogs yesterday? Leave him alone. He was punished by a court system that you dont seem to be screaming to change at this moment. It may be flawed but its what we have. Two years for bankrolling a dog fighting ring; and not to mention he probably will end up losing $100 million or more from the endorsements he lost and that fat contract from Atlanta. I say he's paid more than his debt to society. I hope and pray that this talented individual is reinstated this season and someone takes a chance on this man. He may not be a quaterback again but he is still as, if not more, athletic than anyone in league. Good luck Mike and I hope to see you playing on Sundays real soon.
