This letter is associated with the following article:
Terrell Owens enjoyed mythical status in America's toughest sports town. His fall from grace traumatized Philly sports fans -- and poisoned race relations.
  • Only 20 more days until King is back...

    It's my current mantra.

    Nothing against Ms. Paglia – I generally enjoy her writing otherwise – but this article is nothing more than a historical rehash of what every fan of the NFL has known about (thanks ESPN, for the blatant inundation – they do love they're handwringing, don't they?) and been consistantly reminded of on a weekly basis this season. Add in a few personal touches about beer cozies and viola, fill in article for King – with absolutely nothing of substance for us King fans.

    I couldn't even pretend to get excited about Paglia's supposed opening of the "racist" pandora's box by Owens. Please. This is the town that infamously booed Santa and you're trying to convince me that race has never been an issue? Ever? Until T.O.? Please.

    Thank God for the inevitable implosion of this team – due to injury and the general inability of Andy Reid to coach well – so now we can watch the Colts and they're soon-to-be record breaking season in peace. Now that's a team worth writing columns about!!! Too bad none of them seems to be an asshole...
