IS LISTENING TO SPORTSWEEK'S PODCAST
Terrell Owens was looking for someone to play Santa Claus at his Catch-A-Dream Foundation 81 Family Fun Day this holiday season. Owens put out the call via Twitter -- and then he had an idea.
Owens then joked: "I'm thinking of asking Coach Reid 2 play my santa claus, my fmr coach of the eagles! He seems 2 b a logical choice, gotta check his sked!..."
No word on whether Big Red can make it.

The Eagles will have some shuffling to do on the defensive line as well as at linebacker Sunday.
Defensive end Victor Abiamiri is listed as questionable, though Abiamiri probably isn’t going to dress ahead of productive Jason Babin.
Abiamiri’s status might hinge on how comfortable the coaches would be sitting, say defensive tackle Trevor Laws, figuring Abiamiri can play inside in passing situations.

Kevin Curtis was seen in the NovaCare Complex weight room Friday. Curtis had been in Utah following knee surgery. The Eagles do not let injured players speak to the media.

Chargers coach Norv Turner, on Shawne Merriman, who has missed the last two days of practice with a sore foot: "I think he's all right. I think he's just a little bit sore, and it's probably good for him to not work."
Les
Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News
since 2002.
Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les
only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no
penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite
what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News
from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much
lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their
two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey.

Paul
Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982.
He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the
Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a
selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre
and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas,
working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas
Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was
boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to
blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley,
a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over
that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific
daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy,
25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
