Oh, for the days when dumb jocks said what was on their minds about fruitcakes and didn't apologize to anyone...

Browns quarterback Jeff Garcia says a comment made by ex-teammate Terrell Owens implying that he is gay is ridiculous and untrue.
In an interview with Playboy magazine that hits newsstands Friday, Owens was asked if he thinks Garcia is gay. Owens responded: "Like my boy tells me: If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat."
Garcia responded to Owens' comment after practice Wednesday without mentioning the wide receiver by name.
"It is really a waste of my time to sit here and to have to answer to such ridiculous, untrue comments that are made out there in the world today," Garcia said.
He noted that it has been reported that he has a girlfriend and has had girlfriends in the past.
"So many people know my situation here. It has never been a secret," Garcia said.
Owens backed off his comment to Playboy after the Eagles' practice Tuesday, saying, "I didn't say that he was gay. Like I said, the conversation and interview was loose and from my knowledge I'm not sure if Jeff is gay or not."

Terrell Owens is a punk.
Oh, for the days when dumb jocks said what was on their minds about fruitcakes and didn't apologize to anyone...
Hey, I heard that Terrell Owens was on the Down Low.
Pass it on.
I'm sure a lot of passes are going to be thrown his way this year.
Always has been, always will be.
And truth be told, he's a punk bitch.
Seconded. And thirded.
Terrell Owens just made himself a target.
George Teague. That's all I gotta say.
That's the way it should be. The gay community should have zero say on what comes out of dumb jocks mouths. They are not politicians. They say stupid things all the time. Especially the football players. And they settle it on the field. This should have just been allowed to die where it was. What were the chances some poofter was actually going to read this story in Playboy and get offended anyway.
I didn't know what 'down low' meant, but a quick Googleization reveals that it refers to black men who identify as straight but who have sex with other men.
It is a shame the two most talented WRs in the game are total head cases. I'd take Marvin Harrison over Terrel or Moss.
Teague's most famous moment might be when he decked San Francisco’s Terrell Owens, as the 49er wide receiver celebrated a meaningless touchdown atop the 50-yardline star in Texas Stadium.
Owens might think Garcia is gay, but I'll tell you what . . . that Monday Night Football episode in which Owens pulled a Sharpie out of his sock and autographed a football after a touchdown was probably the gayest thing I've ever seen on a football field.
Which is precisely where Terrell Owens has made himself a target.
Heh.
Egads.
They shouldn't spout off to reporters like that, instead they should just crush each other on the field.
Sheesh.
Terrell better worry about Ray Lewis instead of Garcia
