We all saw it, in the fourth quarter during an attempted Cowboys comeback, Terrell Owens dropped a pivotal 1st-down potential conversion. Afterwards, Owens went back to the sidelines, took a seat and kept his mouth shut. No screaming or yelling at coaches or QBs, he messed up and he was silent. LOL about that but Plaxico Burress feels the dropped pass was due to Owens being a coward. Here are the quotes....

Giants receiver Plaxico Burress said he was slipping all over the Texas Stadium turf Monday night, so he must have felt that the Cowboys' Terrell Owens also slipped in the fourth quarter when he went feet-first on a pass thrown his way. Right?

"No, he was being a coward," Burress said. "He was sliding into home plate like it was the World Series because he didn't want to take a shot."
Owens was covered by cornerback R.W. McQuarters on the play, but safety Gibril Wilson was coming over the top, preparing to knock the ball free if Owens caught it.

That's why Burress didn't think Owens slipped.

"(Wilson) was getting ready to put that helmet on him and he took a dive," Burress said. "He wasn't slipping."

Attempts to reach Owens through the Cowboys' public-relations staff were unsuccessful.

Boy, the Giants sure are beating up on the Cowboys as of late.

Well, I haven't seen the play in question. Is Plax right?

[EmpireWF]

Well, he may have. Most receivers will every now and then purposely avoid a catch to avoid taking a big hit in the middle of the field. With Plaxico, it's interesting because he's always known for being a moody guy and not trying his hardest at times when he's not heavily involved in the offense.

to me it looks like he fell, but hell its so easy to attack TO these days why not get your jab in like everyone else

So if Plax is a guy who doesn't always give maximum effort, and he's calling out T.O. for not giving maximum effort, what we basically have here is the pot calling the kettle black, eh? What I'm really curious about is when we all started caring what Plaxico Burress has to say. What's next - a controversy over an Antwaan Randle El quote? Maybe Brandon Stokely's going to sound off on someone?

[MJHMarc]

I feel some tension over here.

[EmpireWF]

Give Plaxico a break here...he did catch a TD in the first quarter.

Plaxico needs to grab 4 dozen more touchdowns before he can comment...

Anyone remember that Owen is playing with a hand that had surgery a few weeks ago?...This is the same guy who played in the Super Bowl when most people thought he was too injured to play...he might run his mouth often, but he is no coward...

The pass in questioned was dropped cause he tried to catch it against his body...it was just a bad attempt to catch the ball...nothing more...

Terrell Owens in the news again? What a shock! The guy doesn't even play well anymore. He was great in Philly. One of the best i'd seen ever but now Owens is slow and has hands of stone. I think age has caught up with the big mouth and now he's just a tight end playing wideout. Bad move by the Cowgirls to sign this washed up Dennis Rodman wannabe.

Oh please!...Hands of Stone?...the man is coming off of surgery and still outdoing most of the receivers in the league...Plaxico wishes he was half as motivated as TO...I think the man suffers from what medical experts call "TO envy"...

"TO envy"?? PLEASE! TO is so out of it, he tried to commit suicide for god sake!
Even he knows he's all washed up!

[legend]

The ball he dropped was ever so slightly behind him, and he was wide open. He was simply looking ahead and took his eyes off the ball. Owens is alot of things, but a coward is not one of them.

[ThePundit]

Why does Plaxico feel the need to comment on T.O?....He's got his own set of issues.

Shall I put you down for TO envy as well...you really think that a guy who loves himself so much would try to commit suicide?...Hello!...

Goth, Owens is jealous of Matt Leinhart because dating Paris Hilton gets the type of headlines he so desperately craves. If motivated is yelling at his QB when every pass isn't thrown to him then it's no wonder most teams stayed away from him and a Steinbrenner wannabe like Jerry Jones signed him. You say Plax is jealous of TO but honestly I think it's the other way around. Burress is on Sportscenter making game winning TD catches while Owens is dropping everything tossed to him and making a jackass of himself on the sidelines.
