It's not like one of those regular 8-Balls that tells you, "Keep sniffing glue because it ain't coming true" or "Stop sending me queries, your stupidity is just too scary."

by Kristie Boudwin Daily Lobo Congratulations, Terrell Owens. You have become the sixth player in NFL history to catch 100 touchdown passes, yet you are still the biggest dud in the league. It is a shame. If the man came down with a permanent case of laryngitis, he would be quite a star.
