The Terrell Owens-Donovan McNabb feud hit a manly new high last week over a cell phone text message, the form of communication used mostly by 16-year-old girls.
McNabb said he sent a text to his former receiver to wish him well after his overdose scare. Owens claimed he never got a message.
But yesterday these two great warriors of the gridiron finally hooked up via text message. And thanks to a friend of mine who works at a cell phone company, I was able to get my hands on the transcript of Owens' and McNabb's messages during yesterday's Eagles-Cowboys game.
4:10 p.m.
McNabb: Good luck 2day … not
T.O.: Can't txt. My cell battery is low
T.O.: Nevermind. A fan just hit me w a battery. I'll use that
5:56 p.m.
McNabb: Ha-ha. Zero catches at halftime. Now don't go OD on painkillers
T.O.: That's insensitive. Many Eagles fans are probably on painkillers
McNabb: Good point. Sorry
T.O.: Kidding. That's not what happened anyway. I had 2 go 2 the hospital cuz I ate a can of your nasty soup. Tell them every can should come w a free stomach pump
McNabb: Don't make me have my mom give u a beatdown. We both know she could
6:15 p.m.
McNabb: My coach says 2 ask your coach if they're still on for the cheesesteak buffet after the game
T.O.: Let me ask
T.O.: He says yes. Says that's the whole reason he made the trip
6:43 p.m.
McNabb: Nice drop on that last pass, moron
T.O.: Tnx. I got so used 2 playing w u that I'm still not used 2 having passes hit me in the hands
6:58 p.m.
T.O.: I thought u should know that your backup qb stares at your butt when you are behind center
McNabb: Enough with that. Grow up. Jeff Garcia is dating a Playboy model
T.O.: AJ Feeley is not dating a Playboy model
7:12 p.m.
T.O.: Are u going 2 buy my children's book about sharing for your kids?
McNabb: No
T.O.: Y?
McNabb: Because I hate u
T.O.: Then u probably won't like my next children's book about sharing. It's about a chubby, out of shape qb named Little D who shares with his teammates that he's nervous about the big game by throwing up on them in the huddle
McNabb: I really, really despise u
7:44 p.m.
McNabb: Ha ha u lost. LOL
T.O.: Who knew there are qbs worse than u? I should have done some research. I need a new agent
