This does sound like yet more support for my hypothesis. Thanks for bringing it to my research team's attention.

hey, this is grounbreaking and vital research you're conducting. Anything to help.

Question: If Terrell Owens lands in Philly, would this indicate that the Eagles may start attracting jerks? Or does the magnet need to reach some certain strength before we see a rapid accumulation of jerks (Oakland, Dallas)?

Terrell Owens does represent quite a bit of jerk magnetism. He might be able to create an entirely new jerk polar axis in Philly.

It should be noted that Philly is already considered a center of jerk magnetness on the fan side of things. One need look no further than the booing of McNabb's being drafted or the cheering of Michael Irvin possibly suffering a spinal injury to see that. While I obviously am no fan of Irvin's, I certainly only wished a blown out knee on him - not a severe spinal injury.

You've got a good point about the fans... so maybe Owens could tip the scale completely. Watch for them to draft Maurice Clarett in the 3rd round.
