GAME NOTES: With their nine-game losing streak now a memory, the Toronto Argonauts try to continue their strong play on Wednesday night as they host the Calgary Stampeders at the Rogers Centre.

Getting an early jump on the third week of the season, due to a soccer game set between Manchester United and Celtic FC on Friday, Toronto has plenty to be pleased about following its narrow 36-34 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last Friday night at Canad Inns Stadium.

Quarterback Cleo Lemon threw for 162 yards and ran for a touchdown, while running back Cory Boyd carried the ball 19 times for 109 yards and a score. The win on the road came in a familiar place as Manitoba was also one of just two locations outside of Toronto where the Argos were able to pick up victories in 2009.

Kicker Grant Shaw was huge for the Argonauts as well, knocking through all four of his field goal attempts including a 13-yard effort late in the fourth frame to put his team far enough ahead to secure its first win of the season. Also on special teams, Chad Owens reeled in a missed 45-yard field goal attempt by Alexis Serna and raced nearly untouched 117 yards for another touchdown for the visitors.

As for the Stampeders, they too leaned heavily on their special teams unit as new kicker Rob Maver converted a 23-yard boot with 10 seconds left on the clock to secure his team's thrilling 23-22 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on the road. Maver was good on all three of his field goal chances in the meeting, turning Calgary into one of only two teams in the CFL to start the season a perfect 2-0, the other being Saskatchewan which is also in the Western Division.

Henry Burris was a bit shaky at times, yet the quarterback still made good on 24-of-37 passes for 257 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while moving beyond his one interception and lost fumble. Nik Lewis and Romby Bryant caught touchdown passes of 15 and 17 yards, respectively, while Joffrey Reynolds ran for 98 yards on 15 carries, easily outgaining the entire Hamilton squad which finished with a mere 48 yards on 17 attempts.

An established champion in the CFL, Burris has been one of the most consistent passers during his career, especially in the last six seasons when he's thrown for at least 4,200 yards. Already having set the standard for the most passing yards and completions in a Stampeders uniform, Burris also notched the 200th passing score of his career over the weekend. However, even though the signal- caller has connected on 66.2 percent of his throws over the first two games, among the regular starters in the league, he is the only one without a completion of at least 40 yards. In fact, his longest pass to date has been only 28 yards and that might be something that the Toronto pass defense centers on this week.

Ironically Reynolds, who is third in the league at the moment with 214 yards rushing through two weeks, has a long run of 28 yards to match the effort of Burris thus far.

As for the running attack of the Argonauts, Boyd bounced back from a weak first game when he gained just 32 yards on eight carries, but if not for one 23-yard burst he would have the lowest average per carry among starting backs in the league in the early going.

With Lemon still learning the finer points of Canadian Football, the Toronto offense is only going to take what the Stamps defense gives it and that may not be very much this week. Nevertheless, chances are Lemon will still perform much better than the quarterback contingent that tried to move the ball for the Argonauts last season, a group of gunslingers who combined to rank second- to-last in the league with 4,128 yards through the air with a league-low 14 TDs and a lofty 25 interceptions.

Working in Lemon's favor is the fact that Calgary had one of the weaker pass defenses in the league last year, registering just 13 interceptions and permitting 408 completed passes (second-most behind Winnipeg).

In 2009 these two teams also met during the third week of the campaign, with Calgary crushing the Argos by a score of 44-9 at home. Six weeks later the matchup was much tighter as the Stamps slipped by with a 23-20 final on the road. As far as the regular-season series is concerned, Calgary has used a six-game win streak against Toronto to push its advantage to 41-36-1 overall, thanks in part to a 30-16 win in the first game of this season.

A short week to prepare probably doesn't help either team and the fact that Calgary didn't bother to return home after defeating Hamilton means the Stamps are following along what Burris referred to as an NHL schedule. But don't expect Calgary to be caught off-guard in this meeting, knowing that a win would put huge pressure on the rest of the division this early in the campaign.

GAME NOTES: All alone in last place in the East Division, the Hamilton Tiger- Cats again shoot for their first win of 2010 as they host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday night at Ivor Wynne Stadium.

Add the team's 34-27 overtime loss to British Columbia in the final outing of 2009 and Hamilton is looking at a three-game slide at the moment. Head coach Marcel Bellefeuille had a hard time finding anything positive to talk about after his club's 23-22 setback against the Calgary Stampeders last week. Perhaps most disappointing was kicker Sandro DeAngelis who missed a pair of field goals, but it also didn't help that the squad allowed a 105-yard return of a missed kick and could not get into the end zone on a first-and-goal at the two-yard line in the final period.

The bright spot for Hamilton was again the strong play of Marcus Thigpen who, on his first touch in his new home stadium, raced 93 yards on a punt return for a touchdown. Thigpen earned special teams player of the week honors following the opener in which he became the first player with two return touchdowns in a game since Keith Stokes of Montral did so in 2002, which means he is two shy of tying the record for return TDs by one player in a single season.

Quarterback Kevin Glenn connected on 26-of-34 passes for 356 yards and a score, the lone aerial TD landing in the hands of Thigpen as well. Receiver Arland Bruce III turned his seven receptions into a game-high 104 yards, but it failed to make up for the fact that the running game registered just 48 yards altogether.

As for the Blue Bombers, they saw their quarterback have a career game with 103 rushing yards and another 366 through the air, tossing three scores and scoring one of his own on the ground, yet Buck Pierce could not hold off a relentless Toronto squad all by himself in what turned into a disappointing 36-34 setback at home. Terence Jeffers-Harris did all he could to get Winnipeg into the win column again, capturing seven passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns, all of which were game highs.

Pierce has clearly shown that he can operate the offense for the Bombers, but one has to wonder if he is putting himself in harm's way a bit too much in the early going. As someone who is no stranger to injury, Pierce continues to lay it on the line for his team and actually ranks among the league leaders in rushing after two games with his 192 yards on just 13 attempts. Thanks to a 43-yard romp, Pierce is averaging a whopping 14.8 yards per carry.

Playing for British Columbia during his first five years in the league, Pierce didn't exactly set the league on fire last year when he tossed just 10 TDs and was guilty of a career-high 12 INTs, but at least he is off on the right foot this time around with five TDs and just a single pick, with his aggressive manner of play earning the respect of his coaches and teammates alike.

In just his first year, Jeffers-Harris how shown why he is considered one of the top offensive options for the Blue Bombers, averaging 17.2 yards per catch, but already we have seen two sides of him with just 20 yards on three catches in the first game of 2010.

Pierce and Jeffers-Harris might not have to look far for some additional offensive help as the Bombers signed receiver/returner Markus Howell on Monday. Twice named Special Teams Player of the Week while with Calgary during a four-year stretch Howell, who played for Winnipeg from 2000-2004, could spread the field a bit for Pierce, giving the signal-caller not only additional passing lanes but also a bit more room to advance the ball down the field himself.

As a part-time starter for Hamilton last year, Glenn showed strong play in the pocket as he completed 62 percent of his attempts for more than 3,000 yards and, more importantly, delivered 18 touchdowns against only seven interceptions. Getting Bruce the ball down the field so he can create plays is certainly a key to the offense for the team, but the manner in which Marquay McDaniel has exploded onto the scene is tough to ignore. Even Bruce recognizes how dominant McDaniel has been, now just in his second season in the CFL. Last year McDaniel led the league in combined yards with 2,535, but this time around the coaching staff might see the significance of using him even more on offense in order to give the Winnipeg defense that much more to think about.

These same two teams met in the season opener on July 2, with Winnipeg crushing the Tiger-Cats by a final of 49-29. With the victory the Blue Bombers moved to 54-42 in regular-season meetings against Hamilton. The clubs are set to clash once more in the 2010 regular season on August 7.

As long as Pierce can stay in the game and not put himself in perilous situations, Winnipeg definitely has a strong chance of landing a win on the road this week. Victories away from home were not exactly a strong suit for a Bombers club that was only 3-6 in such situations last season, but following the miserable outcome recently the team might be a bit more motivated than usual.

GAME NOTES: In an effort to finally put to rest their weakest defensive effort of the 2009 season, the British Columbia Lions entertain the Montreal Alouettes on Friday night at Empire Field in Vancouver.

British Columbia had a number of lopsided outcomes a season ago, but none was more distressing than the club's dismal 56-18 loss to the Als in the playoffs. The setback was the second in three attempts for the Lions against Montreal that year, the lone victory being a 19-12 final the first week of September.

Fast forward to this year and both of these teams have gotten off to a 1-1 start. In the case of the Lions, they went from dumping Edmonton in the opener (25-10), to being thumped by Saskatchewan last weekend (37-18). Adding insult to injury, the Roughriders also knocked starting quarterback Casey Printers out of the game with a thigh bruise, forcing the home team to turn to Travis Lulay for guidance.

Lulay finished the outing 9-of-15 passing for 197 yards and a score, while Printers hit on 10-of-14 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown. Printers commented after the game that he could have returned to action but didn't want to risk making the injury worse. Receiver Geroy Simon had a huge outing with six catches for 169 yards and both TDs, one of which registered a whopping 92 yards late in the meeting. However, as well as Simon played, he and the Lions could not change the fact that they were penalized 16 times for a loss of 116 yards.

As for the Alouettes, the defending Grey Cup Champions needed a bit of a wake- up call in their meeting with Edmonton on Sunday after they scored a mere four points in the first quarter. Quarterback Anthony Calvillo was held in check by the Eskimos for most of the game before tossing touchdown passes to Brian Bratton late in the third quarter and Kerry Watkins midway through the fourth to bring his team back for the victory.

Calvillo finished 19-of-30 passing for 237 yards and an interception, not to mention having to pull himself up off the turf after three sacks. Even though recently-signed Ricky Santos managed to make his way into the end zone on a two-yard run in the second frame, the Montreal rushing game was far from dominant with a mere 72 yards on 17 attempts. Avon Cobourne tallied 55 yards on 13 carries to lead the way.

Last season, Cobourne was a dynamo for Montreal coming out of the backfield, placing sixth in the league in rushing with 1,214 yards and coming up with a league-high 13 TDs, but thus far he's gotten off to a slow start with just 94 yards and one touchdown on 23 attempts. Cobourne has also been a huge piece of the passing attack the last couple of years for the Als as well, capturing 120 passes for more than 1,000 yards, but after two games this year he has but six grabs for 66 yards.

Calvillo has been on pace with last year's numbers for the most part, except for the fact that the reigning two-time CFL Offensive Player of the Year already has two interceptions after throwing a total of just six all of last season.

Tied with both Toronto and Winnipeg for first place in the Eastern Division in the early going, the Als have had their defensive stats skewed due to the ugly 54-51 overtime loss to Saskatchewan in the opener. Last year, Montreal ranked first in the league in points allowed with a mere 18.0 ppg, almost a full six ppg less than the next best squad.

As for the Lions, a team that ranked second-to-last in points allowed in 2009 with an average of just under 28 per game, in giving up only 10 points in the opener to Edmonton they sported their best defensive performance since September of 2008. With just 47 points allowed in the first two games of 2010, BC is second in the category in the Western Division behind Calgary. However, the Lions have also scored the second-fewest points in the division with just 43.

British Columbia is in the middle of the pack when it comes to rushing (141.5) and passing (267.5) yards per game thus far. What the Lions do have is two of the top performers in both individual rushing and receiving in Jamal Robertson and Simon, respectively. Robertson, thanks to a long run of 61 yards, has a total of 222 yards on 20 carries thus far, while Simon's 10 receptions have been turned into 228 yards and a pair of scores. The 98-yard reception for Simon last week is the longest of the season for any receiver thus far.

Not taking into account Montreal's convincing triumph in the most recent meeting between these two clubs, BC actually maintains a 31-28-1 advantage in regular-season meetings.

Of all the teams that Calvillo faced during the regular season last year, the Lions seemed to be field the toughest defense, holding him to just a single touchdown on 47 completions. However, when the pressure was on Calvillo was more than ready, as evidenced by his five-TD performance in the playoffs against BC. Assuming Calvillo is on top of his game and the BC defense is again vulnerable, expect to see the visitors come out on top in this meeting.

GAME NOTES: The highest scoring team in the CFL takes the field at Mosaic Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as the Saskatchewan Roughriders attempt to move to a perfect 3-0 when they clash with the winless Edmonton Eskimos in a Western Division showdown.

The Roughriders opened the 2010 regular season in style when they slipped by Montreal in overtime, 54-51. Living up to the expectations after that momentous victory might be difficult, yet Saskatchewan followed with a 37-18 triumph versus British Columbia on the road last Saturday, making it one of only two teams to begin the season a perfect 2-0.

While the Roughriders defense knocked out BC starting quarterback Casey Printers, the offense for the visitors produced a balanced attack that generated 188 yards on the ground and 252 yards through the air. Quarterback Darian Durant not only converted 18-of-29 passes and hit on a TD toss to Prechae Rodriguez, he also gained 33 yards on four carries and scored once on the ground, keeping the BC defense guessing.

Wes Cates posted a game-high 93 yards and scored once on 16 rushing attempts. Kicker Luca Congi contributed with three field goals.

Brent Hawkins returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown late in the meeting for the Roughriders, while the Lions continued to defeat themselves by being flagged 16 times for a loss of 116 yards and had control of the ball for just over 25 minutes.

As for the Eskimos, they started off well enough against the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday night, but then saw their offense drop off and their defense get exploited by Als quarterback Anthony Calvillo. Edmonton was able to come up with 443 yards of total offense in the meeting and controlled the ball for more than 36 minutes, but that just goes to show how little stats can mean to the final outcome.

Quarterback Ricky Ray made good on 23-of-39 passes for 340 yards and a score, but he was also sacked once and intercepted twice, one of which was returned by Jerald Brown 40 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter as part of the Montreal comeback bid. Fred Stamps caught six balls for 119 yards and a TD, while Kelly Campbell turned his nine receptions into a game-high 170 yards. Running back Arkee Whitlock posted a game-high 99 rushing yards on 15 attempts.

If not for kicker Derek Schiavone, who knocked through five of his six field goal attempts and added a single, the Eskimos would never have been in contention in the first place. It was the first game of the season for Schiavone, who was on the sidelines for the opener and watched as Noel Prefontaine handled the kicking duties.

The success of the Eskimos comes down to the play of Ray under center. As someone who threw for more than 10,000 yards and had 48 TDs through the air in the two previous seasons, Ray's efforts help to open up the rest of the offense for guys like Whitlock. However, Ray has seen just one of his 50 completions in the first two games this year reach the end zone. As someone who showed an ability to break out of the pocket and pick up some meaningful yards on the ground the last few years, leading to a total of 11 touchdowns, Ray so far has been credited with just two rushing attempts and has already fumbled the ball twice according to the stats.

Whitlock was huge for Edmonton in his first year when he averaged better than six yards per carry and hit the end zone 12 times. He is off to a similar start in 2010 with close to seven yards per attempt and has already carried the ball 31 times in two games.

Durant is off to a fast start for the Roughriders this season, thanks in large part to his effort against Montreal in the opener when he threw for a career- high 478 yards and five touchdowns, on his way to being named the CFL Offensive Player of the Week. His numbers dropped off considerably in week two, yet the outcome was still the same for Saskatchewan. Durant, who threw 24 touchdowns a year ago but was also picked off 21 times, already has six TDs this season and has yet to see one of his attempts head the other way and that has his quarterback rating at a staggering 125.0 at the moment. The same goes for Durant on the ground thus far, with him having averaged 9.4 yards per attempt and made his way into the end zone twice, compared to just three scores all of last season.

Perhaps Durant's burst in the rushing department will take some of the pressure off Wes Cates who is already averaging better than seven yards per carry and has a pair of TDs on the ground as well.

Last season, Edmonton took two of the three meetings between the clubs, but it was the Roughriders who recorded a 23-20 win in the most recent contest in late September. Nevertheless, the Eskimos still maintain a healthy 106-75-2 regular-season series advantage coming into 2010.

Even though the Eskimos have Ray to lean on, the team had far too many drives stopped prematurely last week, and if Saskatchewan has anything to say about it the same will happen again this time as well.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.

As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.

Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds

The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.

Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).

But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.

Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.

Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1

Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2

New York Giants - 9 - 2

Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).

Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.

So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.

And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.

They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.

Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.

But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.

Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.

Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.

Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.

Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?

Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.

In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.

Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.

Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.

The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.

The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.

Police report: Terrell Owens hospitalized after attempt

Terrell Owens will address the media at a 3:15 p.m. ET news conference outside the Cowboys' practice facility after an internal police report indicated he tried to kill himself by overdosing on prescription pain medication, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened.

The Dallas police report said Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time [he] stated, 'Yes.'"

Owens left the hospital late Wednesday morning, giving reporters a "thumbs up" but making no comment as he was driven away in an SUV.

Michael Irvin said that Owens denied he attempted suicide and said he was rushed to the hospital as a result of an adverse reaction to medication. And a source close to Owens told Michael A. Smith that Owens wasn't attempting suicide.

NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders said he spoke with Owens shortly before his release from the hospital and that Owens was in good spirits.

"The fact that it has been reported a suicide attempt, he's laughed at that notion. It was a case that medication that was taken wasn't accepted well in his system with the other vitamins he's on," Sanders said.

The series of events began a little before 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Owens' publicist, Kim Etheredge, said she was at Owens' home when he took pain medicine for his broken right hand. Concerned by how he began acting, Etheredge said in various interviews Wednesday with Dallas-area media that she called 911. Owens was taken to a hospital, with Etheredge saying it was an allergic reaction to the medicine.

But early Wednesday, several media outlets received a police report -- that had yet to be released by the authorities -- saying Owens had attempted suicide by overdosing on the painkillers, even putting two more pills into his mouth after an unidentified friend intervened.

The police document, first reported by WFAA-TV, said Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time [he] stated, 'Yes.'"

When officially released by police, about half the document was blacked out, including the phrases "attempting suicide by prescription pain medication" and "a drug overdose," as well as the details of Owens having two pills pried from his mouth and Owens saying "Yes" when asked if he intended to harm himself.

Etheredge, who said she was the friend cited in the police document, told Dallas-area media Wednesday that the police got the story wrong.

The tape of the 911 call could help clear things up. The Associated Press filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act to get its contents, but fire department officials said it would not be available before late Wednesday.

The police report said the 32-year-old Owens told his friend "that he was depressed." Details of the police report were first reported by WFAA-TV.

The friend, who is not identified in the report, "noticed that [his] prescription pain medication was empty and observed [Owens] putting two pills in his mouth," the police report said.

Using her fingers, the friend attempted to pry them out of Owens' mouth. Owens told police he had taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he'd emptied before the incident.

Etheredge told the Star-Telegram that Owens was "fine."

Etheredge said she called 911 because Owens was groggy and lethargic. After taking some supplements "it kicked in a reaction" with the painkillers, she told the Star-Telegram.

"Here's a person whose body is so clean, it really had a negative reaction to the medication and supplements he was taking," Etheridge told The Morning News. "Thank goodness someone was there to call an ambulance."

Police Lt. Rick Watson said he could only confirm that paramedics called police to say they were taking Owens to the hospital. He said no more details would come from the police because no laws were broken.

It is not a crime in Texas for a person to attempt suicide.

"This is a high-profile person. We looked into it and we determined it is not a criminal offense," Watson said. "This a medical type of situation that occurred."

Watson and fire department spokesman Joel Lavender cited privacy laws for the lack of information they could provide. Lavender said more details could come from the 911 call. The Associated Press filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act to get the contents of the call.

"Let's just look at the tape, review the tape," Lavender said. "I'll give you an honest answer once I know something."

At the police news conference, Watson released a version of the police narrative with certain sections blacked out. The full report was obtained by several news outlets and reported first by WFAA. The AP received the full version from WFAA.

According to the police report, Dallas Fire and Rescue was called regarding someone "attempting suicide by prescription pain medication." Officers arrived to find Owens being stabilized by ambulance workers, who then took him to Baylor University Medical Center.

Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting.

Owens, one of the league's top receivers during his 11-year NFL career, is best known for wild stunts on the field and other publicity-seeking antics off it.

When the Cowboys signed him to a $25 million, three-year deal in March, they said their background checks indicated no red flags. In fact, team consultant Calvin Hill -- who mostly deals with troubled players -- said during training camp that his department was not involved with Owens because he didn't have a history of those kinds of problems.

He missed most of training camp, and three of four preseason games, because of a hamstring injury. He was late for work during his recovery and was fined for it, but Owens laughed it off, saying he overslept. He said it had happened before, though not with Dallas, and would probably happen again.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger during a game a week ago Sunday. The next day, doctors screwed in a plate so the bone could heal without fear of further damage. Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said last week that the pain medicine made Owens ill.

Owens had not practiced since the injury, but because Dallas had a bye this past weekend he did not miss a game. He was expected to practice Wednesday, and Parcells had said there was a chance Owens could play Sunday against Tennessee.

Owens had been especially looking forward to the Cowboys' game after that -- Oct. 8, in Philadelphia, against the team that dumped him midway through last season only months after he helped them nearly win the Super Bowl.

Owens was seen laughing and joking on the practice field Tuesday morning. He chatted briefly with reporters in the locker room in the afternoon and seemed fine. A 2-inch scar on the top of his hand was puffy but not wrapped, and he said the swelling was doing down.

While in the locker room, he took a pill from a white paper bag and looked at another medicine bottle that was in the bag. He also called a business partner about a towel-wrap venture they're starting and joked to TV cameras that he wasn't talking until Wednesday and it was only Tuesday.

"My little boy knows better than that," he said, laughing, as he plopped onto a sofa in the middle of the locker room.

Also Tuesday, Owens was involved in launching a national campaign for the National Alliance to End Abuse, an organization aimed at helping at-risk youngsters. He appeared at a high school Tuesday morning and was scheduled to visit others but had to cancel because of changes in the team's practice schedule.

Owens has played two games for the Cowboys, catching nine passes for 99 yards and a touchdown. For updated football betting lines and Dallas Cowboy Superbowl odds visit online sportsbook MySportsbook.com
