favre will surely be a sentimental fave if he opts to return next year and announces his looming retirement...

 

charles robinson, a sports analyst for yahoo has this article regarding who'll take TO next year... and he made an interesting list >>>

 

5. Washington Redskins

 

You have to start with owner Dan Snyder, who isn't afraid to risk a little cash on a big signing. The Redskins desperately need another receiving option to accentuate Santana Moss, and it helps that No. 2 wideout David Patten has been a bust. Plus, with the defensive pieces in place, this is a team that is just an offense away from competing among the NFC elite. As for all those people who doubt whether Joe Gibbs could handle dealing with a potential headache, here are three names to contemplate: LaVar Arrington, Sean Taylor and Clinton Portis.

 

4. Miami Dolphins

 

I never thought Nick Saban would be able to handle a combustible situation with a star player – and then he hurdled the Ricky Williams fiasco with ease. If you've paid any attention to Saban through his coaching career, he's never been afraid to take risks on guys with major talent, and that goes right back through his days at LSU and Michigan State. Even his draft picks this season have had plenty of character questions. As for Owens, he loves South Florida, and his boy – agent Drew Rosenhaus – has a lot of pull in that neighborhood. And even Owens could make one of Miami's quarterbacks (take your pick) look good.

 

3. Atlanta Falcons

 

Now that we've seen Michael Vick throw deep a few times in recent weeks, I'm more than convinced he could wing it and let Owens use his speed to just go get it. Owens has always had a fondness for Atlanta, and even though he's selling his home there, it doesn't mean it's absolutely out of the picture. Even offensive coordinator Greg Knapp has given Owens a pass for a blowup that occurred between the two when they were on the sidelines with the San Francisco 49ers – saying it was an argument in the heat of the battle. Falcons coach Jim Mora and owner Arthur Blank would need plenty of convincing, but if Owens wants to be there, and Vick is mutually interested, the Falcons carry a lot of weight.

 

2. Denver Broncos

 

Bottom line: If Mike Shanahan will take a leap on Maurice Clarett, he'll risk character concerns for winning any day of the week. The frightening prospect is the perceived frailty of a guy like Jake Plummer. Then again, it looks an awful lot like Plummer has gotten beyond his days of bonehead decisions. And he's got plenty of arm to throw Owens the ball deep. More than anything, this is a team that might be just one more impact player from a Super Bowl. But the offense is pretty good already, so maybe that player should be added on defense.

 

And the winner will be …

 

1. Dallas Cowboys

 

Bill Parcells put up with Lawrence Taylor, and the Cowboys are merely a piece or two from winning the Super Bowl. But that's not even the good part. Picture Owens, Keyshawn Johnson and Terry Glenn in the same wide receiving corps. It would be the first time in league history that three players with season-ending suspensions would be together on the same field. Well, sort of.

 

Owens will have pulled the feat off with the Eagles, and Johnson did his time after becoming an "element of sabotage" within the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization. Glenn gets the nod on a technicality. He was suspended for a failed drug test at the start of 2001 while with the New England Patriots, then blew the team off when it quit paying installments in his signing bonus. And when Patriots coach Bill Belichick had had enough, he suspended Glenn for the remainder of the season. But here's the twist: Glenn had the penalty overturned when he won in – you guessed it – an arbitration hearing.

 

<<< haha... if owens is swayed to dallas... will the cowboys fans forgive him after tormenting them for the past years?... and remember those wacky post-touchdown acts he did on the cowboys' "star"?...

I don't think the Eagles will let TO stay within the conference let alone a team that it has to play twice a year.

 

i agree, just like in the case of shaq and the lakers. they shipped shaq out of the west particularly the kings so as to avoid meeting his new team four times a year.

 

on the topic of indy goin undefeated, i don't think they would be able to do it because dungy said in an interview before that he is more concerned with them gaining homecourt advantage and the vie on the first round rather than going undefeated. i believe that if the colts have clinched the vie and homecourt, he would then rest his key players in the hope that none would get injured.

 

but, i'm still hoping that they go undefeated this season and march all the way to the superbowl ring...

 

just thinking aloud...

dick jauron has been named interim coach for detroit...

 

detroit doesn't seem to have all gears running at the same time always... they have a potent offense with roy williams, charles rogers, mike williams, and kevin jones... and their defense can hold up its ground...

 

if... all the personnel are healthy...

 

a bitter dose of bad luck for steve mariucci...
