From what it sounds like he has no interest in coaching anytime soon, that does not mean he has no interest in a front office job with the Steelers. I think it has more to do with the dignity he was treated with allowing him to retire on his own terms and allowing him the oppurtunity to help his team (watch how the 49er's treated Rice or Montana for comparison)

It will be interesting to see the interaction between Parcells and T.O. \n\nOwens will do very well -- this year. It's when he gets a good season under his belt that his ego starts growing. Then he becomes a cancer in the locker room. He doesn't seem to realize that football is a team sport. Eventually the other 10 guys on offense, as well as all the guys on defense, will get sick of his antics and stop supporting him on the field. I predict that even Bill Parcells will not be able to contain T.O.'s ego after this season.

here are my vview on things:\nI'm reading through some of the comments about this situation "I hope it's not serious", "gee that's too bad, we hope he'll be all right"..."he's a great player, hope he can still play"... but I can't help thinking "what a waste."\n\nHow many of us would love to be living a dream, to be a pro football player, making millions? This kid is already on record as the youngest QB ever to win a Superbowl, he's got his whole life and career in front of him, and he doesn't care to protect all that he has to live for?\n\nOne article I read mentions how players past and present, as well as his coach have appealed to him to reconsider his celebration of freedom in not having to wear a helmet. Fellow Americans presumably equally in support of "freedom" yet were also able to consider what he potentially had to lose if he should meet in an accident.\n\nAnd here we are. The article I read said "injuries do not appear life-threatening." Will he play again? Sheesh, we are not out of the woods of whether he'll have a sound mind again, let alone make critical decisions with a blitzing linebacker zeroing in on him.\n\nAs a fan, this player attitude has always bugged me. The discussion issue to which I'm referring is whether athletes, paid by fans, should have some obligation to the fans. Ticket prices go up when big name players are signed, and if they are injured - especially preventable injuries - why shouldn't ticket prices go down and let insurance pay their salary, or refuse it if they insist on taking unnecessary risks?\n\nCase in point - at the beginning of this last NHL season, Toronto Maple Leaf captain Mats Sundin gets hit in the eye. He refuses to wear facial protection, and he's out for the first month. Duh.\n\nLike everyone else in the sports world, I join in wishing Big Ben a full recovery. I hope we get to see him continue what many are now confident must be a hall of fame career. Do I feel sorry for him? Sure...but, for crying out loud, at what point do we hold people accountable for taking unnecessary risks? Wearing a helmet might have rendered this a great story about how he had the accident yet was ok.\n\nThis may not be a popular position, but heck, don't we as parents get upset with our 7 year olds for playing near the stairs or not looking both ways before crossing the street? If we expect kids to make smarter decisions in the interest of their own safety, why is it so easy to make excuses for "adults"?

Always a tough question...Ronnie Lott, LT, Butkas, Lambert(or anyone of the steel curtain)....I was gonna say Lott because let's face it the guy was NUTS!! but then I thought aside from Favre no one mentioned "O"...there was a Payton reference, must give SWEETNESS his props. I would give my Iron man trophy to the great Jim Brown, C'mon he played 8 years and it took Payton 15 seasons too originally break the rushing record and I think it took E.Smith 16 or 17. Jim Brown was a Def.Lines WORST nightmare and he was NEVER hurt...Running Around and THROUGH DL's and LB's(including Butkus,Ray N. and Deacon Jones). So put that in your pipe and smoke it...you should be ashamed of not even mentioning him..THE GREATEST, my runner-up was a tie between Lott and Earl Campbell( The Bastard can't even walk now he ran so hard!!)

I don't know what he said but maybe he probably said, see what happens when you talk sh*t and you can't perform on the field. You piss me off earlier and I just threw a touchdown in your face and won the game. The game ain't over till the clock says 00.00 4th quarter. I just wimp your a*s at your home in the dome YEA BABY. That's what I think he said. Like last week with the NY Giants. They were talkin sh*t saying the titans are weak they are not even a fair match playing us. The Titans came back to win the game in the 4th quarter. Vince Young said they pissed him off and he won the game for his team.

YES.\n\nHE ACHIEVING GOOD AND HE MAKE FANS FEEL HIS ASSIGNMENT.\nIN GOOD OR BAD RESPONSE.

Well Don'tW@tch I'd say you don't understand much about the Steelers. To the first idiot actually Steeler Country is part of the team. WE the fans are part of the team. If you don't think that the Terriable Towel has ever rallied the team then you don't understand why it is "Steeler's Gold" and I wish people would stop calling that yellow. We have a ownership that is a family that has held it since 1933 and lot's more bad times then good. We have a coach who is from the city. We are part of the team as fans and the Rooney's would tell you that they consider the fans to be a part of the team. You claim to be a true fan but you don't think fans have any influence? What are you a "true" fan of? Personally I was thinking the same thing as far as we should get rid of Holmes. I mean fine I can deal with the first situation. He likely got drunk and was being stupid. It was Memorial Day and people do that. This one though he needs to remember what team he is with. As to the "new found fame" I don't buy that. We didn't take him from some little no name school. He isn't anymore famous then he was then. I'd say have a talk with him at least.

my brother loves the game and he just had to tell me this long life story about him. about how he got a butterfly to end the fued between him and 50 cent; then got it covered with a horseman to represent his sports team hed just bought. he then got the LA sign, and hes from compton right? he needs to make up his mind. pretty soon his face is gonna look like mike tysons.

No\n\nJerome Bettis and Lawrence Taylor

You are correct Hodge is a bona fide IDIOT!    His commentary on NFL subjects is continually slanted due to the fact he was a FB and is still a raving Steelers fan.  If Jimmy played had for "Picksburgh", you'd be hearing a different line out of Mr. Hodge.

No, I didn't down the Steelers. I am favoring them to win the Super Bowl since last weekend even know I am not really a Steelers' fan.  I root for them becuase I like Jerome Bettis.\n\nI like to see him end his career with the Super Bowl's ring. Anybody work as hard as him deserved to have one.

Definately, Betts was producing when Portis was out earlier in the season.  I am a Portis owner and am trying to pick up Betts as well.

LOL, guess he didn't want a reality check...guess he wanted everyone to say "Hey, you are Brad Pitt--of course you can get any woman you want and you are just doing this one thing wrong not to get one".\n\nWhatever!

The Steelers won and will continue to win because they don't plan or care about promoting themselves as individuals after doing their jobs. How confident are you if you freak out everytime you score? Chad Johnson never got that chance to bring out his terrible towel did he?
