Terrell Owens had just scored a touchdown on the Cowboys, after scoring he ran out to the center of the field and tried to put the ball down and showboat on their star. Needless to say the Cowboys and their fans were not happy to see him attempt this stunt, hence the Cowboy player coming up and hitting him.

mora, the player in red had just scored a goal, and he placed the ball on the star, the symbol of his opponets, to taunt them. The opposing player took issue with his antics.
Now, the REAL explination- About twenty-five years ago we quit keepin score in children's athletics to "spare" their delicate psyches. We also quit posting grades or doing anything else that might have a winner and a loser. As a result we've developed a generation of people who can't deal with winning, much less losing, because they've never experienced winning or losing growing up.
The most important parts of sports is sportsmanship, and without a clear winner or a clear loser it's a lesson unlearned.
I blame the liberals for this one. ;)
-
LOL even better.

Correction, at a very young age we don't keep score. Averaged out around the country, at about age 8 or 9 year olds, scores in childrens sports are indeed kept to show them where they need improvement, that you take the losing with a good attitude as in "now where do I need to improve?" and learn valuable ethics as in taking the good with the bad and learning to respect your fellow man. The most important aspect of this is sportsmanship, with a clear winner and loser, that instills on us to strive to be better.
I blame the conservatives for this one ;)
(Incidently, Terrel Owens is a poster child for why sportsmanship in this country is going the way of the Dinosaur.)

What age? Our oldest sons team does not have play-offs this year, they 7 and 8 year olds. Next year they do (9 and 10 year olds)

Wasn't that the second time? I thought Emmit Smith cleaned his clock the first time TO tried that.
-
don't forget that the Cowboys did the same thing earlier in the game when they had scored. TO was going to mock them and the cowboys as usual couldn't take it.
RPM - no Emmit was never invovled in that hit on TO.
-
I knew Emmit was involved some way.
In case you missed it, San Francisco wide receiver, Terrell Owens, showed the Cowboys up by sprinting to midfield after catching a 3-yard touchdown pass in the 2nd quarter. He stopped in the middle of the Cowboys star logo and made a Deion-like gesture to the heavens. Shortly before the half, after a 1-yard touchdown run, Cowboys running back, Emmitt Smith, returned the favor by removing his helmet, sprinting to the logo, kneeling down and slamming the ball to the turf while glaring and pointing at the 49ers' bench. Then late in the fourth quarter, Owens headed back to midfield after catching a 1-yard touchdown pass. As he went to parrot Smith's kneeling move, Cowboys safety George Teague blind-sided him. Teague was ejected.

Think TO will do it tonight?????
I predict he will have about 3 chances to do it:)
