Good MMQB

First Peter King does a great job trashing Terrell Owens:

"...I hope this is the last time I need to bash him in this space, but with this lame-brained nut job such as T.O., you never know."
King then goes into fairly deep detail about the absurdity of Owens' behavior.

Later King touches on my favorite subject -- bashing officials. I wish other writers, especially NBA writers, would join King in examining bad officiating. It's important to fans, and it's important to the integrity of the game. Anyway, here's King on refs:

In the final 10 minutes of the Browns-Giants preseason game on Saturday night, Terry McAulay's crew threw 17 penalty flags. Not all were accepted, but 17? Seventeen! ...A little ridiculous, in other words. The penalties were so absurd -- three separate ones on a single play, all against the Browns -- a Giants club official walked over to the officiating supervisor in the press box late in the game and told him what an embarrassment McAulay's crew was.
