Having personal issues is more accepted now than any other time in history. Yet while many people have demons some have monsters. Terrell Owens has the latter.

What an unexpected first half of the season it has been. So many disappointments. So many surprises. The NFC is finally getting some respect again, and appears to be pretty strong so far this year. Here is a midseason NFC report that will tell it like it is, complete with predictions for rest of the season. AFC midseason report to come…
Not much changed at all in the week 9 power rankings. Almost every team ranked above their opponents won. And the week was filled with matchups of top 15 vs bottom 15 teams so nobody went anywhere. Things are more interesting when the power rankings get shaken up so let’s hope for some big upsets next week.
Just announced by Andy Reid on his press conference. No further answers because of a pending NFLPA grievance. TO just notified 1/2 hour ago.
By the way, I’m in danger of hurting myself patting my back but you heard it here first.
Editor’s note: OK, I realize that this isn’t exactly column worthy (Sportscolumn blog is coming soon!) but I couldn’t pass up a chance to post a story that is about 99% of red blooded males’ fantasy.
According to Tampa Bay Online and Fox Sports, Kristen Owen, 22 and Angela Keathley, 26, were having sex with each other in a bar called Banana Joe’s. But that isn’t a crime. (And if it is, we have problems.) What is a crime is punching the woman behind you in line after she started complaining about the long wait. When police got there, one of the cheerleaders was belligerent and resisted arrest. Other members of the Panthers cheerleader squad came to bail them out. Sadly, no sex broke out.
UPDATE: It turns out that the other cheerleader in question was Renee Thomas and not Kristen Owen. She gave the police the wrong name.
Ok, I’m done being a perv now. Pics of the cheerleaders after the jump.
I guess the Philadelphia Eagles have had enough of his act and will “Keyshawn” him for the rest of the season. The final straw might have been his statement that the Eagles would be 7-0 with Brett Favre at the helm and that McNabb is hurting the team. Clearly, anyone who thinks that is violating the league’s substance abuse policy. (Thanks for the tip, BP.)
Update: Reid in response to a question about suspending TO, replied, “We’ll see how things go, I’m still in the middle of addressing the whole issue and finding out all the information.”
Update 11/5: ESPN is reporting that Terrell Owens is suspended indefinitely.

NFL Week 9 Picks November 6 2005
Can you believe it’s week 9 already? This season is going by way too quickly. The good news is that after a hard start, we are hitting our stride. Once again, we beat the ESPN experts .732 to .675 correct. If you want to check out how we stack up against almost every site that picks games, check out this nifty spreadsheet from Tokar.
If you’re using these picks for advice on your office pool, go with BostonMac aka Ryan McGowan. He’s been on a tear lately. Aside from his homer pick of Patriots over Colts this week, the rest are solid.

Packers Lose Close Game… Again
At first, it seems awful. In fact, it seems pathetic. Four interceptions against a good Cincinnati Bengals team from a first ballot selection to the hall-of-fame.
The San Francisco 49ers are not stuck in a rut. They are a team that is building for their future. As we enter mid-way through this 2005-2006 NFL season, there are a few teams that are statistically at the bottom of the barrel alongside the red and gold. Houston has no excuse for their winless record and no amount of coach firing will get it done. David Carr was hyped beyond his own recognition and ate up the press while forgetting about football. Green Bay is facing the same problem as the 49ers- injuries. Coaches are positive in the Rice-O-Roni city. Players want a victory and pride is driving them to compete.

This One Could Get Exciting
The dominant teams in the NFL used to be obvious. Super Bowl picks weren’t the hardest thing in the world. Most fans could make a bit of money on weekly picks assuming they were in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. In short, winners were clear cut…
