Battle of the Malcontents

I have predicted a battle for attention between Randy Moss and Terrell Owens during the upcoming season. The Fro has already won round 1. Can The Smile recover in the latest episode of "Battle of the Malcontents?" (And I mean "malcontent" in the most loving way possible.) Presently, Roger Clemens is not in the competition. Certainly, he is one of the great attention whores of our times. However, according to the media, it is my understanding that he merely "grandstands" and/or does things "in dramatic fashion." He is not on par with the flashy, showboaters scourges in this competition. Also, he has no reason to be a malcontent. Owners are falling over themselves to over pay him for a few days work and hold him above his teammates. Some people have to pout to get that kind of treatment.

On to the latest installment...

The Fro gets a locker right next to Tom the Dreamiest and the OG, orginal golden boy Brett Favre, threw a hissy fit when he found out the Packers wouldn't trade for the Fro. The Fro is clearly adored. And the fate of two teams are intertwined with Randy's. Nice. The Fro will be obssessed over for days.

The Smile had surgery on his finger in the offseason, rehabbed by catching tennis balls and surprised everyone by participating in the first Cowboys training camp. Maybe he just couldn't resist the attention of 60+ reporters at the Dallas training camp or maybe he just to wanted to look after his $3 million roster bonus coming due on June 1. Everybody was watching The Smile for sure, but he had to run and catch and beat cornerbacks and sweat. Too much work for one SportsCenter segment, I say. I mean, he played the "leave 'em wanting more" card well by refusing to talk to the media, but still... Or maybe he wants to beat The Fro where it counts - on the field. Hmmm....

Round 2 Winner:
The Fro. Has anybody even seen Randy? All this fuss and the Fro is barely lifting a finger. The Smile will have to learn how to work smarter not harder in this attention game.

Advantage:
The Fro. 2-0
