Terrell Owens enjoyed mythical status in America's toughest sports town. His fall from grace traumatized Philly sports fans -- and poisoned race relations.
  • Terrell Owens

    It's terribly unfortunate that Donovan McNabb has been labled by some a race traitor because of his refusal to speak up for Terrell Owens. McNabb has generally handled the tremendous scrutiny put on him (by virtue of being in Philadelphia and by virtue of being black - see Rush Limbaugh) with intelligence and grace. Owens, meanwhile, has been one of the worst teammates in the history of professional sports. It is a sign of progress that McNabb does not feel the need to lump himself in with the perhaps-sociopathic Owens. McNabb's only mistake was to lobby for Owens to join the team to begin with.
