Dwyane Wade may be the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year, but he only takes second place on a survey of three dozen sports bloggers to determine the top 40 sports figures of 2006. The survey, conducted by Jamie Mottram of Mr. Irrelevant and including such blog luminaries as Deadspin, The 700 Level, Free Darko, Kissing Suzy Kolber, With Leather, and, of course, FanHouse, came up with Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens as the most-discussed person of the sports year.The list is of the most frequently discussed people in sports this year, not the most admirable. Bob Costas compared the selection of T.O. to Saddam Hussein being Time's Person of the Year, but Time really has named Hitler, Stalin and Ayatollah Khomeini as Men of the Year. T.O. is the most-discussed person in the sports blogosphere. That doesn't mean we bloggers like him.
Other NFL people to make the cut: Matt Leinart, Ben Roethlisberger, Vince Young, Reggie Bush, Eli Manning, Michael Vick, Clinton Portis, Art Shell, Chad Johnson, LaDainian Tomlinson, Brett Favre, Dennis Green, Rex Grossman and Shawne Merriman. Read the whole list.

I DON'T GIVE A GRAP WHAT PEOPLE THINK OFF T.O. OR ROMO AS LONG AS THEY DO THERE JOB AND I THINK THEY ARE. AS FOR T.O. AND HIS MOUTH MAYBE HE WAS ABUSED AT PHILLY AND WE DON'T KNOW ALL THAT REALLY HAPPEND. ITS THE PRESS THAT MAKES SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING. JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE AND GET A LIFE. THE COWBOYS ARE FOR REAL SO DEAL WITH IT. SIGNED A COWBOY FAN FOR 40 YEARS AND NO ONE OR NO PERSON IS GOING TO CHANGE IT.

Yes Terry T.O. is gettin the job done by settin the record for most dropped balls in a single season. What a wonderful job T.O. is doin. And EVERYONE can tell that T.O. was the one committing most of the abuse in Philly and San Fran, not receiving it. Terry, u might wanna learn about something BEFORE u try to defend it. Dumbass.

He would be a great receiver if he could catch the ball and quit dropping it. He's as good running after the catch as Jerry Rice.

The bringing in of t.o.(lower case intended) to the texas perverts is just another example of how despicable an organization the dall ass cowboys are.They should not be allowed to compete on the same fields as respectable human beings.
