      Owens Corning Beats......Surprised?
      One things says it all, "sales growth in our global composites business continued to be solid." Back in February I said that one ought to expect a storm or two this year and that the $240 million EBIT they predicted at the time was too conservative. Today Owens Corning (OC) said it now estimates that 2008 adjusted EBIT will be at least $265 million, a 10-percent increase from its prior estima

      NFL SNF Wrap: Romo wasn't ruined, Owens was
      Tony Romo wasn’t distracted by the many faces of Jessica in the crowd. He had one touchdown and one interception in the Cowboys 20-13 victory over the Panthers last night. It was a bittersweet game though with good news and bad news for Cowboys fans. First the bad news, Terrell Owens was injured during the game with a high ankle sprain. One of the most dreaded injuries in sports. (see video below) He will have an MRI today and we will find out how long we will be without everyones favorite Cowboy. The good news for the Cowboys was that Tony Romo’s injured right thumb didn’t seem to affect him so much, especially like it did last week. They were very careful the whole week with Romo, not letting him take any snaps during practice. On the first snap of the game it seemed to be an issue with their backup center as Romo fumbled right when he received it. Before leaving, Owens did look good on his touchdown catch. He just made the Panthers cornerback Richard Marsha

      Cowboys Lose Owens, Top Panthers 20-13
      It wasn't pretty, but it was efficient as the T.O.'less Cowboys relied on Barber and the running game to close out the Panthers for a 20-13 win at Carolina.  Barber and Jones combined for over 150-yards rushing and Romo threw for a one touchdown and had an interception to lead Dallas to the victory. Terrell Owens left for the locker room just before halftime after spraining his ankle on a 3rd down catch deep in Carolina's end of the field to convert for a first down that led to a 22-yard Nick Folk FG.   He also caught a 10-yard TD pass from Romo in the first quarter to start the scoring. Steve Smith, who had a good game as well, then caught his own 10-yard TD pass to narrow the lead to 14-7.  Smith had 9 catches for 137-yards and a TD to lead Carolina in their attempt to upset the Cowboys. But the big star of the evening was Marion Barber who's 63 total yards on the way to a 75-yard drive capped by his 7-yard TD run put Dallas in the lead for good.  He also closed out t

      After Terrell Owens scored an easy Touchdown last night against the Packers, he did a very unique end zone celebration. He grabbed some popcorn from a guy and ate some. I guess he liked the show as much as we did. I’m really surprised that he didn’t get a 15 yard penalty for that one whatever. Check out the celebration. Now I guess the popcorn must have been really greasy or something because he looked like he had butterfingers on this play.

      Fantasy Football MVP Week 11: Terrell Owens (Video)
      With this short holiday week I almost forgot about crowning the Fantasy Football MVP from last weekend. This week I went with Terrell Owens. It was a tough decision considering the great performances of Brady and Moss. In the end I figured Owens had more yards than Moss and I am just coming to expect Brady to have games like that this year. Brady had 373 yards and 5 touchdowns while Moss had 10 catches for 128 and 4 touchdowns. A few other solid performances to mention are Chester Taylor with 164 yards and 3 touchdowns and Owens QB, Tony Romo, who had 293 and 4 touchdowns. Owens posted 8 catches for 173 yards and 4 touchdowns. This was no doubt responsible for a win or two in fantasy leagues everywhere. Surprisingly, there aren’t very many videos out there for Owens. Outside of a few live footage videos, there was one of some sound bites of him on the sidelines and a few TO workout tip videos; I figured I’d spare you. Of the two live footage videos, this was the least b

      Sunday Around The NFL: Randy Moss Vs. Terrell Owens
      Well the much anticipated head-to-head match-up between two of the NFL’s top teams - the New England Patriots and the Dallas Cowboys - and two of the NFL’s premiere wide receivers - Randy Moss and Terrell Owens - finally went down on Sunday and it was a good one. And while neither Randy nor Terrell had huge days, it was the resurgent Moss who showed why he’s the NFL’s top receiver and head and shoulders above the controversial Owens. Let me break it down for you: Randy Moss has a great smile. It’s warm, effortless, and makes you feel like he’s just a big kid who enjoys playing ball. What a goofball. Terrell Owens on the other hand, well … Look, I’m not saying that T.O. doesn’t have a good smile. The man clearly has a nice mouth, and that counts for a lot when you’re talking smiles. But whereas Randy’s grin begins in his heart and exits his face, T.O. seems to say cheese strictly for the cameras and not for himself.

      Terrell Owens Learns the Wonders of Litigation
      After an what seemed like an endless string of dull, meaningless weeks, Terrell Owens is back in the news. The Cowboys wide receiver is suing the owners of a New York City nightclub for falsely claiming that he was hosting parties at the club. Owens says he knew nothing about the parties and has never even been to the club. The lawsuit seeks $100,000 in compensatory damages and at least $500,000 in punitive damages. It’s shocking, but for once Owens seems to be on the honorable side of things. Nobody should be allowed to used Owens’ name without his permission—unless of course it’s Jeff Garcia spreading rumors about TO on the internet. It’s also interesting that Owens effectively put a $600,000 price tag on his name and likeness. If somebody has $600,000 to blow (this idea is for you Donovan McNabb), they could sell an Owens shirt that actually uses his likeness.

      Terrell Owens: Real Cowboy or Not?
      After his first season during which he led the Cowboys in both receptions and touchdowns, but also led the team in dropped passes, will Terrell finally have the break-out season for the Cowboys like he had for the Eagles in 2004? If his recent surprise practice sessions at the Cowboys minicamp is any indication, then it would have to be a resounding yes. Being an avid Cowboys fan, I have to admit that I, like most other fans of the “Boys”, did not exactly relish the acquisition in 2006 of such a volatile, yet talented player. I go further and admit I almost wished he had left in the off-season as was highly speculated. But if he can continue on the quick path of recovery from his finger surgery and not blow-up with the media, then maybe I will be able to proudly hail him as a true Dallas Cowboy. These are certainly a lot of “ifs” and that is why I don’t think it will ever happen for T.O. in Dallas. He will have plenty of opportunity with Tony Romo starting at QB for a ful

      Henry Owens: Leading Candidate For Marlins Closer Role
      Marlins RP Henry Owens pitched two scoreless innings Sunday against the Nationals. He allowed two hits and a walk, while striking out three. Owens has now made six relief appearances this spring totaling nine innings and has yet to allow a run to cross the plate. Owens -- a Miami native -- appeared in three games with the Mets last season, plus went 2-2 with 20 saves for Double-A Binghamton. It is believed he is the leader to take over the vacant closer's job in Florida and has done nothing yet to show otherwise. Continue to track his progress, but he could be a huge sleeper in Fantasy leagues if he wins the closer's job. The other top candidate for the Marlins closer role is Matt Lindstrom, who has made six relief appearances totaling 7 1/3 innings, and has allowed just one earned run for a 1.23 ERA. He pitched one scoreless inning Sunday against the Nationals to earn his first save of the spring. He allowed two hits while striking out one. Lindstrom complements his fastball w
