IRVING, Texas -- When Dallas coach Bill Parcells told the
team what it takes to win a championship Terrell Owens wasn't listening.
The player says he must have gone to sleep on that one.
Parcells gave his speech Monday, one day after a pivotal win in
New York and hours before Owens flew to Los Angeles for an
ostentatious 33rd birthday party he threw himself.
Back in the locker room today, Owens insisted he didn't recall
the coach's words of wisdom about what the 8-and-4 Cowboys need to do down the stretch.
The Cowboys who play New Orleans on Sunday could win their division for the first time since 1998.
Owens was asked a second time about the Parcells speech, but
couldn't remember it saying he had his mind on his birthday party.
The player turns 37 Thursday.
