I guess I shoudl really say, I like my idea of his public persona. Cos obviously I dont' know the guy.
I liked what he said after the MNF game.
From ESPN.com:
Owens caught three touchdowns in the Eagles' 49-21 win over Dallas. Afterward, he said, "I don't know how my acting skills were, but I can't play football forever."
Asked if he has ever watched "Desperate Housewives," Owens said, "I will now."
The guy has a knack for saying the right thing. His sense of timing is immaculate.
Unfortunately I didn't get to see the skit in question, but I find the idea hilarious. And as for Tony Dungy's comments, WTF? What does race have to do with it?
More from ESPN.com:
The segment drew complaints from viewers and the NFL. ABC Sports apologized for using the introduction to promote its show, "Desperate Housewives." Dungy's comment, however, was the first that mentioned race. He also said the segment played off stereotypes of athletes.
"That athletes are sexual predators and that that stuff is more important than what's going on on the field. That a guy was more concerned with that than the game, that's a terrible message to send," Dungy said. "I'm particularly sensitive to that. It could have been any player and I would have been outraged, but being an African-American, it particularly hurt me."
But (Lovie) Smith (Bears Head Coach) didn't find the skit racially offensive.
"I really can't go that far," he said. "I saw a naked lady with an athlete, period. Black, white, that doesn't really matter an awful lot to me."
