There's No Violence In Boxing

Someone Spit In DeAngelo Hall's Face And It Wasn't Pac-Man Jones
I realize that this isn't breaking any new ground, but man, Terrell Owens is a sensitive guy. DeAngelo Hall, who engages in some friendly trash talk with Terrell Owens on the phone from time to time, did some of that same trash talking to Owens during the Cowboys/Falcons game last night. Owens spi...

It's like Dan Dickau holding the same record in the NBA. • College Basketball: Texas Tech 71, Arkansas 56. Bob Knight's now just one win away from Dean Smith's record. Bob Knight still doesn't car...
