ShareThisDallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens is the most valuable player of the NFL.Sorry all you who worship at the right arm of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady -- hear me out and you will quickly realize you don't have a case.Just listen to some of the quotes seeping out of the Cowboys' dressing room following the season-ending 27-6 embarrassment in Washington Dec. 30.T.O.'s high ankle sprain was an excuse for everything from 1-yard team rushing to how stupid coach Wade Phillips looks wearing a cap on the sidelines.The Cowboys couldn't tell a jock strap from a chinstrap without T.O.But they say once that ankle heals, all will be right in Cowboyland once again.With T.O. back in the lineup, the offensive line will block again.The running backs will run forward instead of backward.Tight end Jason Witten will re-appear.The cornerbacks will cover somebody.Even safety Roy Williams might find time to make a play or two.OK, that might be stretching things a bit, but to hear the Cowboys talk, T.O. is the real Mr. Fix It on this team.If so, at $25 million for three years, this guy is really underpaid.When Roy boy horse-collared T.O. in Philly three years ago, the Eagles -- without him -- also played dead in their final two regular-season games.With a first-round bye and home field theirs for the playoffs, the Eagles lost to the Rams and Bengals.But in the playoffs, they found a way to win without T.O. They beat the Vikings and Falcons to get to the Super Bowl.The Cowboys should have him back next Sunday for the NFC playoff showdown with the New York Giants at home.Then I don't want to hear any more silly excuses.(Contact Nick Gholson of the Wichita Falls Times Record News at www.trnonline.com.)
Way Cowboys see it, T.O. is NFL MVP

Paying taxes unites us. It also divides us. People can pay five and even six times more in state and local taxes than other folks in similar circumstances making similar incomes.
