Saga between Owens, McNabb continues

Here they go again: Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb have their signals crossed.

Days before the buddies-turned-enemies face off for the first time since their nasty breakup, a misunderstanding is brewing over a text message McNabb said he sent Owens last week after a trip to the hospital was reported as an attempted suicide.

Owens said Wednesday he never got it. While he stopped short of calling McNabb a liar, the sour look on his face sure seemed to insinuate it.

Asked later if it was possible McNabb sent the message to an old phone number, Owens said: “Look, I’m not trying to start anything. He’s a smart guy. If he wanted my number, he could’ve gotten it.”

Earlier, in separate interviews with reporters in Philadelphia and on a conference call with reporters in Dallas, McNabb said he reached out to Owens to “let him know that I was thinking about him praying for him,” adding that he hoped “everything would turn out well and that he’d get back out on the field and be healthy.”

Former Seahawk sentenced

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Koren Robinson was sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating probation in a drunken driving case.

Robinson appeared in Municipal Court in Kirkland, Wash., where he pleaded guilty last year to drunken driving.

At the time, he was given a five-year sentence that was suspended on condition he not drink or have any other law violations.

The former first-round draft pick was then released by the Seattle Seahawks and signed by the Minnesota Vikings.

But Robinson was charged with drunken driving again after he was stopped for speeding in August in Minnesota near the Vikings’ training camp, leading to the hearing. He was released by the Vikings after that incident, and picked up by Green Bay last month.

NFLPA won’t attempt appeal

The NFL Players Association will not appeal Albert Haynesworth’s five-game suspension for stomping on the head of Dallas center Andre Gurode.

The Tennessee Titans defensive tackle was suspended Monday for kicking Gurode in the head twice in Sunday’s 45-14 victory by the Cowboys. The unprecedented suspension is more than twice the previous longest, a two-game suspension for Green Bay’s Charles Martin in 1986.
