SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Apr 19, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- WagerWeb.com, one of the largest sports betting sites on the Internet, posted odds today for sports fans to bet on which member of the Dallas Cowboys players and staff, if any, will be the first involved in a verbal/physical confrontation with Terrell Owens during the 2006 NFL season. Cynicism and skepticism from various football fans and sports media surround Terrell Owens' ability to get through the 2006 season without a face-to-face disagreement. Should there be an altercation, WagerWeb.com favors Drew Bledsoe heavily, while Head Coach Bill Parcells and Owner Jerry Jones follow.

"WagerWeb.com gives bettors the most opportunities to predict outcomes of the top controversies in the sports world," said Dave Johnson, CEO of WagerWeb.com. He added, "Sports fans, more than any other group, get into heated discussions about players, games and teams, sometimes even betting with their friends or co-workers. We want to be where the action is, and our sports bets reflect that."

he outcome is determined by the first verbal and/or physical confrontation reported by ESPN.com between Owens and another person from the following list. A confrontation is defined as a face-to-face hostile disagreement. The lines:

Drew Bledsoe QB -400
Bill Parcells Coach +100
Jerry Jones Owner +300
Mike Vanderjagt K +400
Drew Henson QB +500
Julius Jones RB +600
Marion Barber RB +800
Terry Glenn WR +1000
Patrick Crayton WR +1200
Jason Witten TE +1300
Jason Fabini OT +1400
Marco Rivera OG +1500
DeMarcus Ware LB +1600
Aaron Glenn CB +1800
Roy Williams S +2000
Remaining Cowboy Roster Players +200

The wager has action through the 2006-2007 NFL season. If Owens is not involved in any type of confrontation with any of the players listed above this season all bets are deemed no action and wagers are cancelled.

FYI, I've cross posted this to the sporting events forum since it's as much general sports talk as actual betting. The post is here.

This is hilarious. there is no way im betting on this, but it's still amazing. I would take Parcells at even money, and remaining roster at +200, especially if the remaining roster included assistant coaches. if I was going to bet

I fancy Terry Glenn myself, at those odds.

Yea, if an average player like Antonio Bryant isn't afraid to throw a towel in Parcells face, I would have to think that the odds of T.O. getting into a confrontation with the tuna is more likely than not.

As a Colts fan, I'd almost be willing to put money on Vanderjagt. If he can throw Peyton Manning under the bus, imagine what happens when TO drops a pass.
