Could Terrell Owens be sharing his popcorn with Randy Moss?

By MJD

Randy Moss and Terrell Owens on the same team. My heart rate increases just thinking about it. I don't know if there's ever been anything like it ... not just in sports, but anywhere in the world. 

It would sort of be like the time they decided to put Jason and Freddy in the same movie. It would be like the time Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior were tag team partners. It would be like Carrot Top and Larry the Cable Guy in the same sitcom. It would be like Kim Jong-il and Dick Cheney running together for president and vice president.

The rumors are out there, though. From John Czarnecki at FOXSports.com:

The Patriots and Randy Moss really aren't close to a new contract, although the Pats believe Moss will give them the option to match whatever deal he does receive on the open market. That makes sense because the clubs pursuing Moss will be limited because he wants to play for a contender. The most interesting rumor is Moss joining the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys can pay up, and wouldn't T.O. and Moss be interesting to watch, not to mention impossible to defend?
I just ... wow. I don't even know what to say. There are so many questions.

Would Tony Romo leap for joy, or would he cry and wonder what the hell he's going to do? Would the league have to make a special provision allowing the Cowboys to use two footballs on offense? Would defenses be allowed to use 15 players? Would Dan Snyder become so jealous that his head literally exploded? On the inevitable ESPN the Magazine cover, would Moss and Owens be kissing, or just holding hands?

If the Cowboys employ a sports psychologist, that person would be in line for a huge, huge raise.

    I love this idea. If this goes down, then Dallas can trade up and get Darren Mcfadden. Think about THAT lineup... Moss, Owens, Whitten and Mcfadden... all in the same set, who do you double? You can't drop into a deep zone or you'll get killed underneath, and by the run. If you bracket to oneside, you'll get torched on the other. You think, the Pats offense was off the charts? Put Moss in Dallas and every scoring record will fall.

    How exactly would Dallas be able to afford T.O. Romo and Moss? I doubt that Moss is going to leave NE anytime soon, but if he does, I don't think he'll be going to Dallas.

    The lucky one would be Marion Barber. How would you like to play running back with that WR threat out there? But it still would not help Dallas' secondary.

    Every time something appears that it is too good to be true, it usually is ! One of them will inevitably be a non-producer because of injury or some other problem . Ain't gonna happen
