Two games already into the weekend with The Birdman and Serenity still perfect as of the Dallas-Atlanta game. Want the upset pick of the week? The way these games have been going, Kansas City beats San Diego and wouldn’t that be special.
Dallas [Associated Press]- Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens acknowledged spitting in the face of Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall during the first quarter of Saturday night’s game in Atlanta.
Hall, during postgame comments with reporters, accused the Cowboys wideout of spitting at him.
“I lost all respect for the guy,” Hall said of Owens. “That’s the No. 1 thing in the National Football League. You don’t spit in another grown man’s face. Hopefully, the NFL can see it and go back and watch the film right just before the first punt. On third down, we were kind of walking face to face, walking back to the huddle and he just hauled off and spit in my face.”
Owens, who scored two touchdowns in Dallas’ 38-28 win, then appeared on a postgame TV interview and owned up to the charge.
“I got frustrated and I apologized for that,” Owens said on the set of the NFL Network’s postgame show. “It was a situation where … he just kept bugging me … he kept getting in my face… he just kept aggravating me,” the receiver said of Hall.
Owens stated he was motivated to show up the Falcons cornerback because of critical words Hall had used in describing the former San Francisco and Philadelphia wideout in the past.
While the Cowboys receiver never explicitly used the words saying he spit in Hall’s face, his apologies when the network’s commentators asked him direct questions about the spitting incident amounted to an admission of guilt.
Pressed by NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders about the conflict, which Sanders described as the most degrading thing one player can do to another, Owens brushed it off.
“I apologized for that,” the Dallas receiver said, “and I’ve got to move on.”
Owens told Sanders that he did not expect lingering bitterness between him and Hall to spill over beyond the playing field.
The Cowboys receiver has been a lightning rod of controversy during his first season in Dallas. He missed large amounts of practice time during training camp, and then had to be rushed to the hospital – in what at the time was reported as a possible suicide attempt – in late September after ingesting pain pills.
Owens later vehemently denied attempting to commit suicide.
More recently, Owens has admitted falling asleep during team meetings and tuning out speeches by coach Bill Parcells. Just last week Owens said he was happy in Dallas except for a “snitch” inside the organization he blamed for airing his dirty laundry.
