Default TO has a sleeping disorder

That apparently makes him sleep through team meetings.

Man, it just doesn't stop with this guy. How he still has a job is beyond me.

Thing is, there's probably 1 or 2 guys on each team in the NFL, maybe pro sports that have something like this..or something else that, like Jones in the article says, a medical issue.

But since its Owens, every minute detail about his life is overblown by the media.

What next with this clown? It's always some excuse - where's the article that says TO's problem is that he's an idiot?

The problem is that he can't tear himself away from his mirror long enough to get a decent night's sleep. What a tool

Well as a Dallas Cowboy fan I don't care one iota about Owen's antics. Zilch. He is a fabulous player and if he and Romo light it up on Sunday's then who cares about anything else.

Why does he have a job? Ahhh duh cause he is one of the best if not the best receivers in the NFL -- that could be why.

Personally I think the attempt to cookie cutter every person in the freakin sports world and beyond for that matter into some kind of boring corporate clone is crap. I'd rather have the characters anytime and I could care less how off the wall they are -- they make it interesting!!!

Well if Owens continues to show up and get things done and they can find a way to deal with it, than it's not a huge deal. Problem is football is such a game of discipline and lets face it NFL head coaches tend to be from the school of old time hard knocks for the most part. Very tough to find a coach who will continually put up with those antics.

But in that Superbowl agaisnt the Pats Owens came to play big time that day. Part of me thinks he's an obnoxious goof. But the other part of me see's that this is a great athlete with supreme talent. But until he's on a team that wins anything he'll get a bad rap.

I guess your criteria for picking the best receivers does not include the ability to actually catch the football.
