To Be Real

I suspect in 10 years people will look back at their fantasy football involvement with the same ruefulness with which people look back at their disco days.

Is your July 24 cover boy Reggie Bush now only subject to a fantasy jinx?

Donovan McNabb at 14 in your quarterback rankings? Below Kurt Warner (6), Drew Bledsoe (7) and David Carr (13)? McNabb is a proven fantasy commodity, especially with the pass-happy Andy Reid calling the plays. Also, McNabb slimmed down this past off-season; he has more drive to succeed (to prove that he can win without Terrell Owens ); and despite what the "experts" might say, the Eagles have adequate receivers.

The Heart of T.O.

Karl Taro Greenfeld wrote an excellent article about Terrell Owens (Hey, T.O., Are You Ready for Some Football?, July 24). But I have to ask about the line "don't ever question his desire." Did Greenfeld speak to any 49ers fans? Because I've spoken to plenty of them who question Owens 's desire. They say he quit trying when he wanted a trade; many used the phrase alligator arms in discussing his performance late in games or when he got tired. He's a great player, but his desire isn't above reproach.
