T.O. Takes a Knee & Exits Season Early
Current Cincinnati Bengals WR Terrell Owens has decided to end his season and go under the knife. With the final two games of the season against the Chargers and the Ravens what better time to shut it down so that Ray Lewis doesn't get another bone shattering shot on you for the season and you don't have to witness the Rivers-Aearial-Assault in person.
After tearing cartilage in the knee two weeks ago during the early minutes of the Saints game, Owens traveled to Alabama and had the scheduled surgery completed this morning by renowned sports surgeon, Dr. James Andrews. All looks to be well as Owens has been Twittering away since out of surgery and his lips and fingers could once again move in unison.
Owens now finds himself in a rather precarious position where once again he will be a free agent this nearing off season as the Bengals (3-11) have not talked new contract yet. Owens produced numbers this year that could possibly warrant him another season in Ohio but who knows where he may eventually wind up as the old TO showed up once the losses started to mount as he again complained of coaching strategy and his QB issues. This season Owens posted 72 recepts, 983yds and 9TD's. These numbers allowed him to reach 2 of the 6 incentives that were included in his one year $333, 000 deal which raised his season salary to $2.3 million dollars.

Don Meredith RIP
Today we say goodbye to one of the most genuine men to play professional sports and grace the broadcast booth, Mr. Don Meredith. Mr. Meredith passed on to the pearly gates after suffering a brain hemorrhage that caused him to enter a coma in his retirement city of Sante Fe. He was 72 years young.
Born Joseph Don Meredith in the heart of Texas, and affectionately later to become known as "Dandy Don Meredith", the 6'3 210lb QB Meredith enjoyed one of the fullest lives that one could imagine. He started his brilliant career in Mt. Vernon, Texas where he birthed his college career and later entered Southern Methodist University in 1957.
After completing his college career Meredith was a 3rd round draft pick of the Chicago Bears who subsequently traded him to the Dallas Cowboys for future picks. Undaunted Meredith showed up in Dallas with the Big-Texan-Swagger of a savvy veteran and fit right in with what would eventually become "Americas Team". Playing for a short 9 seasons from 1960-1968 Meredith threw 135TD's, 111Int's, while running for 1,216 rushing yards and 15TD's and final career numbers of 17, 199 passing yards and a 74.8 QB-Rating. He was the 1966 NFL Player of the Year when he posted 24TD's, 12Int's, 2, 805 yards, and 5 rushing TD's in the 13 game season. Meredith also was a three time Pro-Bowler in 1966, 67 & 69. Shortly thereafter in 1969 Meredith seeming destined to rewrite who he was again he retired from the NFL. He would join the Cowboy Ring of Honor in 1976.
In 1970 he joined Frank Gifford and legendary broadcaster Howard Cosell on Monday night Football, a gig that lasted from 1970-72 and again from 1977-1984.
