It’s the early odds on team’s chances to make the Super Bowl. What are your team’s chances? Just look below. My team, the Falcons, well, they’re pretty much as long a shot as there is, and at 100-1, I think that’s kind of unfair (this one should be somewhere in the thousands or millions). Pats at 7-2? Chargers at 7-1? I like that action. . .

Arizona Cardinals 50 - 1
Atlanta Falcons 100 - 1
Baltimore Ravens 75 - 1

Terrell Owens missed a drug test the other day due to “cell phone communication” problems, and in return the League has said he’ll be subject to be tested more. And T.O. – being the naturally grumpy and angry individual that he is — isn’t too happy about it.

They can test me 1,000 times,” the Dallas Cowboys receiver said Wednesday. “I know that I don’t use illegal stuff, so I’m good.”

Owens just isn’t very happy that what he insists was a simple miscommunication landed him in the NFL’s “reasonable cause” testing program after he missed a random test.

“Especially with everything with the steroids and performance-enhancing drugs, for me to be put out there in that light, I think it’s just a negative connotation for me,” Owens said during the fourth week of the team’s voluntary offseason workouts. “It’s all because of a missed call that negative perception is out there.”

“Missed call.” Right. Barry Bonds once gave this “I’m not worried, you can test me as much as possible” talk, and now he’s in court. Facing charges. Charges that relate to steroids. Good thing he just got that contract extension. Way to go, Jerry.

There’s never enough Madden 09 previews, and with that said, I present you with yet another. As long as these things keep popping out, I’m going ot keep showing them.

Terrell Owens is a guy that, to be quite frank, is pretty jacked. Then when you consider that he’s a wide receiver, you realize he’s actually really jacked.

This is the steroid era, which leads everyone to question just how an athlete got those softball sized muscles under their jerseys. That said, TO may be getting a lot of random drug tests from here on out, after missing some telephone calls to set up a random test. Anyone who misses is set up to have more tests down the road.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Owens said: “I’m not really worried about anything. It’s not a big deal. Anything I do is going to grab headlines. I have nothing to hide. I’ve made a statement and that’s it. It’s basically a dead issue.

“It was openly discussed and cleared up in a meeting that I had at the NFL office last week. I have been in the NFL for over 12 years and have never had a positive test for substance of any kind. That includes tests that took place as recently as last month. The matter was resolved to everyone’s satisfaction last Tuesday, and everyone has moved on.”

Owens claims the whole thing was an issue with cell phone numbers, and that it won’t happen again. His publicist followed up with that, saying he has 25-million reasons to pick up the phone.

I posted the original trailer, but this one seems to be the actual gameplay, which is so much more revealing than the closeups that come out at first. Enjoy.

Pacman Jones hasn’t made many good first impressions in his life, but he did so in his first practice with the Cowboys.

“Just picking and choosing my places, my friends, knowing what to do, when to do it and what not to do,” Jones said Wednesday after his second workout with the Cowboys. “Out of everything I’ve been through, that’s the past. I’m going to talk about the future, but I’ve learned a great deal.”

And what better way to celebrate than by going to a strip club? And what better way to go to a strip club then by strapping yourself with .22’s?

If Pacman wanted hope of getting a big-time deal in the future, all he has to do is look at T.O., who, a coupe of years ago, wasn’t thought to be a guy who could get a big time deal (not quite to the extent of Pacman, but you get the drift).

The former 49′er and Eagle inked a big time deal with the Cowboys, ranking him amongst the elite of wide receivers in the league.

The wide receiver was slated to earn $7 million this season in the last year of his contract, but he now receives a four-year, $34 million deal. Owens is slated to earn $27 million over the next three seasons, making him — along with Randy Moss, Javon Walker and Larry Fitzgerald — one of the highest paid wide receivers in the league.

With the big new deal, hopefully TO turns into his oldself, making a mockery of his teammates, constantly complaining, and occasionally attempting suicide. It’s not healthy, sure, but it sure as hell is more entertaining.

Here’s a look at Madden 09, which features Brett Favre on the cover, which is probably bad for Brett. Before, Madden only ruined a person’s statistics. Now, it’s gonna mess up sonmeone’s fishing trip on a nice Saturday.

Adam “Pacman” Jones met with Roger Goodell last week in hopes of getting his suspension lifted so he can hurry up and wreck play with the Cowboys. Jones has been unallowed to participate in any Cowboys workouts or practices, and says he wants to get back on the field and get with his new team.

And he’s got Jerry Jones feeling all great and swell about everything.

“Adam is really working hard and zeroing in on all the things that it takes to be an NFL football player,” Jerry Jones said. “Relatively speaking he’s in good shape — certainly not ready to play a ballgame but nobody else out here is either. The main thing is he’s working hard. I feel that he certainly will take advantage of this opportunity to play with the Cowboys. I think it’s going to work.”

Of all of Pacman’s accomplishments, his biggest isn’t the punt returns, the interceptions, or even the gang-bang-style-shoot-up in Vegas; in all of this, it’s that he’s somehow managed to make TO look like a great teammate and even better person.

The day after the draft, and it’s time to see who the winners and losers are. I’m not one who believes you can pick winners and losers the day later — I think it takes two years, not three, like most of the experts say to see who really won — but with that said, I will say this: Tennessee, m’friends, you were losers. They drafted Chris Johnson in the first round, a halfback who’s fast, and that’s about it. In the fourth round, they drafted William Hayes, who wasn’t a player expected to be picked in the full seven rounds.

Aw, such is life; we’ll know more of who won and who lost when the season starts, but for now I cling to the hope that Matt Ryan’s a combination of Michael Vick (without the animal abuse, of course), Brett Favre (without the interceptions, of course), Tom Brady (without being a dick, of course), Dan Marino (without the anger, of course), and Peyton Manning (without being a, you know, a Manning, of course).
