IRVING, Texas -- Terrell Owens says plenty in his new book. Except for one word he now claims he didn't say.



But making a big deal of an apparent misquotation -- despite the sentence being written in the first-person -- is the kind of media nitpicking Owens would lament in his 242-page book that mostly offers his side of two tumultuous seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.


The new Dallas Cowboys receiver also devotes pages to his perceived vilification in the press and described his quick comeback from a leg fracture in 2004 as, "If you'll forgive me for saying so ... nothing short of heroic."



But forgive him or not, Owens said Thursday during a book signing near the Cowboys' headquarters that it was "T.O." co-author Jason Rosenhaus who invented that particular phrasing.

Owens also writes at length about his suspension from the Eagles <"I thought it was horrible they were going to deprive me of my livelihood"> and closes the book taking comfort in Cowboys owner Jerry Jones allegedly telling him that he also "knew what it was like to be treated like Darth Vader."

1. How do you get misquoted in an AUTObiography?

makes no sense to me.

Regardless of how you feel about TO's flamboyant style, he performs on the field and makes people around him better... unless they engage him in an ego-war, then all hell breaks loose. I'd love to see what Gruden could do with him in Tampa.
