T.O's Tears of Endearment?

Terrell Owens, a player known for being a gifted receiver with a me-first attitude, broke down in front of reporters after the Dallas Cowboys' surprising loss to the New York Giants crying. It was the first time I had seen that level of emotion from him as he defended his quarterback, Tony Romo. Owens said, "You guys can point the finger at him, you can talk about the vacation, and if you do that, it's really unfair. It's really unfair. It's my team, it's my quarterback. If you guys do that, man it's unfair. We lost as a team. We lost as a team, man."

Any perception of Owens held prior to watching him Sunday got muddled. Any honest fan of the game and his talent has to wonder if he has changed his attitude at all after years of griping about quarterbacks and selfish play during his tenures in San Francisco, Philadelphia, and the early part of his current three-year deal with Dallas (year two of that deal ended Sunday).

On a side note, I added three outstanding sports blogs to the "Other Sports Blogs" section for your viewing pleasure. Over the Monster is especially good.
