Well, "Talk" Is Just A Word, Really

NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus, representative of holding-out Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens and pretty much the most hated guy in the NFL right now, said this to a reporter last week:

"I called [Eagles coach] Andy [Reid] and talked to him. I mention this because I think people have the sense that I don't have a professional dialogue with him. It's not like he and I don't have a dialogue."

In today's Philadelphia Inquirer, however, Reid and the Eagles brass have a different definition of what exactly constitutes a "dialogue."

It is true that Rosenhaus called Reid recently, but one Eagles official said the conversation lasted "a matter of seconds."

"Drew called Andy on his cell," the official said. "Andy didn't realize it was Drew and he answered the phone."

By Rosenhaus' definition, our past "dialogues" have included:

1. Calling Emily Swearingen in junior high and then hanging up the second she answered. 2. Dialing the opposing coach of our high school baseball rival and farting into the phone. 3. Checking our voice mail.
