At one point in yesterday’s game, I noted in the chat room at The Blue and Silver that some team is going to put Terrell Owens in single coverage and shut him down, thus proving that he was over-the-hill.
That was about two plays before Tony Romo hit Owens on a 75-yard touchdown after Owens had burned Nate Clements, who is a quality corner (I think). I wanted to mention something about Owens dropping some passes in the first quarter, but then he had catches of 45 yards and 52 yards, along with a few shorter receptions, and there wasn’t much to complain about.
So, in honor of Owens return to glory, here are ten trivia questions about Owens:

The articles about Owens today were all over the board:
Dallas Cowboys’ Owens ‘unleashed’ by 49ers’ inane defense (Jean-Jacques Taylor of the Dallas Morning News)
‘System’ works for T.O., at least for one game (Randy Galloway of the Fort Worth Startle Gram)
Monday Musings: Is ‘the system’ any different? That depends on who’s making the catches (Jennifer Floyd Engel, also of the Startle Gram)
Unleashed? Owens is mostly understood (Buck Harvey, San Antonio Express News)

And just for fun, this is plain wrong:
My apologies for my boredom. No, really.
the trivia is pretty good but he had 7 catches not 13 against the 49ers
The question might be confusing– it ask how many passes were thrown in his direction (13), not how many he caught (7). Thanks for the comment, though.
