...leaked police report, is a peek into the life of one of the NFL's most gifted, yet most troubled, players on the field. He is the Dennis Rodman of the sport, a great athlete, a winner with an outrageous personality. Owens began a stellar career with the San Francisco 49ers, standing out as a star on a team that had begun to lose the luster of the Joe Montana Super Bowl years. Owens was known for his outsize behavior, including pulling a felt pen from his sock to sign a football after catching a touchdown pass or reaching...
...wore out his welcome in San Francisco - while a 49er he once stomped on the star at midfield in Texas Stadium - and was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. There his great play was again tempered by public lashings of his quarterback and criticizing his coaches. He made amends by playing while injured in the Super Bowl, but followed that up with a contract dispute with the Eagles, in part fueled by his equally outrageous agent Drew Rosenhouse. Things soured in Philly so much that he was then traded to the Cowboys. Things started fine there, but Owens missed most...
...were nearly half as many separations and divorces as there were marriages. Increasing numbers of children are born out of wedlock. Not too long ago, such children - and their mothers - were stigmatized. Not any more, says Grazia Francolini, a director of corporate strategy for TNT Italy, who lives in San Donato, near Milan.

So dubious was the machine's appearance that, when the team was stopped for a road inspection on its way to present the Gastrovac at a conference in San Sebastián, they spent two hours convincing the Civil Guard that the contraption in the trunk was intended for cooking vegetables, and not, say, blowing up train stations. The newer, sleeker version of the Gastrovac, developed earlier this year, still looks like a pressure cooker attached by rubber hose...
...months after the storm, it was uncertain whether the Saints themselves would be coming back. The franchise maintained the remainder of its 2005 schedule, playing "home" games in Baton Rouge and in San Antonio, where there was speculation - fueled, at times, by Saints owner Tom Benson - that the team might relocate for good. At a pre-game press conference, new National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell played down that perception. "I don't think that ever came into play," Goodell said, noting that the team returned to its training camp in New Orleans long before it was assured that...
