Terrell Owens is certain to get the blame for the Dallas Cowboys’ 38-24 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the He-Hate-Me Bowl. Just like Tiger Woods took a bulk of the criticism for the U.S.’s Ryder Cup embarrassment.

Which only shows how simple minded most people are.

Terrell Owens shouldn’t be any more responsible for Drew Bledsoe possessing all the mobility of one of those sports statues outside all the new stadiums than Tiger is for the fact Phil Mickelson, Mr. 0-4-1, remembered how to gag at the U.S. Open and hasn’t recovered yet.

TO definitely didn’t have an impact game. He dropped a few passes. He showed some emotion on the sidelines (causing a TV lecture from choir boy Troy Aikman). But he didn’t tell bonehead Cowboys tight end Jason Witten to run the wrong route, befuddling Bledsoe even more than usual when Dallas was in position for the tying touchdown.

The good thing about both TO and Tiger is they both can take the heat though. Unlike a certain marketing machine from the Nike lab.
