Another thumbs down to an ego who deserves it more often than most: Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver and media whore Terrell Owens.
Owens broke his left ankle a month and a half ago. His team will play in the Super Bowl on Sunday. He hasn't played since injuring the ankle in mid-December. Owens decided he was going to play in the NFL championship game.
Actually, he says the decision was made for him. Not by the coaches or doctors, but by God.
Yes, God.
"I respect Dr. Myerson [who performed surgery on his ankle] and his decision to not medically clear me," Owens said. "But prior to going down to see him for that last visit, I can honestly say God had already cleared me. It really doesn't matter what a doctor says. I've got the best doctor of all, and that's God."
Because with genocide in eastern Sudan, people rebuilding their lives after a terrible tsunami and all sorts of terrible things going on in the world, God decided to use his powers of intervention to affect a football game. After all, God surely wouldn't want to deprive the unwashed masses the joy of seeing Terrell Owens play.
If Owens had to get an injury, why couldn't God have made it to his mouth instead?

This is one of those cases where had Terrell said, ""I respect Dr. Myerson [who performed surgery on his ankle and his decision to not medically clear me. But it really doesn't matter what a doctor says."
I would've been like "Wow! Talk about being a true grid-iron warrior."
Unfortunately he had to KEEP talking...as is typical of him.
Now I hope he breaks his leg going to catch a high pass up the middle in the first Quarter.
