I have mixed feelings about Cris Carter, but Terrell Owens is an arrogant SOB in my book.

<<< Terrell Owens wasn't talking, but he made a declaration nonetheless. The San Francisco 49ers receiver, paraded around the team's locker room Wednesday wearing a white T-shirt emblazoned with a photograph of him standing on the midfield logo at Texas Stadium last year, spreading his arms wide as he looked skyward. The 49ers (11-3) will play the Dallas Cowboys (4-10) on Sunday at Texas Stadium, site of one of the NFL's most notorious taunting incidents last year. Owens rubbed many the wrong way when he twice raced to the midfield star and posed after scoring touchdowns in San Francisco's 41-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in September 2000. Coach Steve Mariucci fined Owens a week's salary and benched him for one game after last year's incident. >>>

After the Niners asked him to publicly apologize, he said he would never forgive Mariucci for not backing him. He wanted the Niners to back his trash-talking campaign?!?!? Also, he publicly criticized Mariucci for the Chicago loss earlier this season. Mariucci had good reason for all the decisions in the game, and the loss was directly attributable to Owens, who shoveled the ball right to a Bear defender. Alienating Mariucci is not an easy thing to do, but he has done it.
