    T.O. Admits Spitting in Hall's Face
    Corner 'Lost All Respect' for Controversial Wideout
    By GEORGE HENRY
    AP Sports
    ATLANTA (Dec. 16) - DeAngelo Hall has always considered Terrell Owens to be a friend. They would talk on the phone and playfully taunt each other.


    Not anymore. Not after Owens spit in Hall's face.

    "He had a couple of nice catches," said Hall, the Atlanta Falcons ' Pro Bowl cornerback. "You expect that. He's a great player. Right before the first punt, though, we kind of got in each other's face, talking back and forth, and I lost all respect for him when he spit in my face."

    Owens, Dallas ' star receiver, acknowledged losing his temper with Hall in the Cowboys ' 38-28 victory Saturday night.

    "I got frustrated and I apologize for that," Owens told the NFL Network. "It was a situation where he kept bugging me and getting in my face."

    Owens beat Hall for a 7-yard touchdown late in the first quarter and a 51-yard score midway through the second Following the third play from scrimmage, however, Hall used his forearms to shove Owens on the Atlanta sideline. Neither player was involved in Jason Whitten's 19-yard catch to the Dallas 31, but Hall stayed after Owens.

    Owens responded by spitting in his face.

    "I lost all respect for the guy," Hall said. "That's the No. 1 thing in the National Football League. You don't spit in another grown man's face. Hopefully, the NFL can see it and go back and watch the film right just before the first punt. On third down, we were kind of walking face to face, walking back to the huddle and he just hauled off and spit in my face."

    Owens, who still maintains an offseason home in the Atlanta neighborhood of Decatur, indicated that Hall kept jawing with him throughout the game.

    "He had a lot of words," Owens said. "I didn't. I just wanted to come out and prove I'm a guy to be schemed with."

    Hall and Owens began their rivalry on the field in the season opener for Atlanta and Philadelphia last year. The Falcons won 14-10, and Owens, despite catching seven passes for 112 yards, didn't score.

    Owens' controversial behavior eventually led to the Eagles ' releasing him, and he signed with Dallas during free agency.

    A knee injury kept Hall from practice most of the week, but he insisted after Thursday's session that nothing would keep him off the field.

    After the Falcons blew a 28-21 lead to lose their third straight home game Saturday, Hall was nearly despondent.

    "They came out and executed a great game plan," Hall said.

    Owens also insists that a doctor recently told him that a dislocated tendon in his left ring finger needs surgery.

    "I knew if I had surgery, it would end my season," Owens said. "I've worked through injuries in my career before."

    This season just sent me over the edge with T.O. I've never seen a person just do so many disruptive things when the team is actually winning, I'd have loved to see DeAngelo Hall punch him in the face for that

    I love he comes out and brags about playing hurt and uses it as an excuse for dropping passes. Shockey had a bone sticking out of one of his fingers during pregame a few weeks ago, got it taped up, played, and made catches.

    Owens is a bitch, plain and simple.

    The man is a self-centered piece of garbage. i give DeAngelo Hall a lot of credit for handling the situation the way he did. This should be talked about as much as the fact that TO is scumbag.

    :rofl: The only reason why Irvin HAD to say that was because he's buddy buddy with both Owens and Hall. So he would have to call it fair, or else, umm, it would ruin his...credibilitly? :rofl: :lol:

    I saw a TO quote where he said that Michael Jordan missed a lot of shots so no one should be concerned about his drops. :rolleyes:

    I think someone said recently that Owens actually has a higher percentage of catches to drops than Terry Glenn this year?

    I thought T.O was ok until this year as well. His actions are just out of control. I can't imagine Jerry Jones bringing him back next year. He's going to have a hard time finding a team that wants to deal with his bullshit.
