COULDN'T OUTSCORE DIRK LATE IN THE GAME
A few weeks ago, we mentioned that Donovan McNabb and Terell Owens were going to be together on an episode of Spike TV's "Pros vs. Joe's" this summer. So we figured we would give you a look at them.
The episode was taped in Los Angeles last Friday and things went along just fine and without incident, according to host Jay Glazer. Owens had previously said he and McNabb were buddies again.
No airdate has been set for the episode involving McNabb and T.O. The season features eight hourlong episodes, with the premiere scheduled for July 14.
McNabb, Owens and Chargers tight end Antonio Gates played basketball against former NBA stars Hakeem Olajuwon, Kenny Smith and Rick Fox. Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is also featured in a different episode.
The three football stars all played basketball in college: McNabb at Syracuse, Owens at Tennessee-Chattanooga and Gates briefly at Eastern Michigan and then at Kent State.

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.
