Contrary to popular belief, when outsiders focus tightly on something, that doesn't mean the same is happening inside the locker room. Truth is, what gets described as a distraction usually is a pleasant diversion to players.
That's certainly the case this week.
Parcells told us last week the Terrell Owens incident wasn't a distraction, and none of the blowhards in the media believed it - except for Jimmy Johnson, a coach who knows something about high-profile teams. The Cowboys promptly went out and destroyed the Titans. Aron explains:

Brian Westbrook is looking at possible surgery on his knee, but that will only happen post-Cowboys game. The consensus is that he will play this week, and then they'll check the knee further.

The Philly fans are getting ready to extend a warm welcome back home to Terrell Owens.
I could care less about the pills, but women dressed up as nurses are kind of sexy.
