NFL to overturn Owens deal and send him back to the Niners.

I can't get into the linked site (registration), but please tell me it's an April Fool's joke...

Thanks, corpse. But what makes the decision most remarkable was this little quote by someone within the league office. "Terrell Owens certainly gives the Eagles a better chance to get to and win the Super Bowl," the league official said. "But that's not a good thing for us. Philadelphia has become like our Boston Red Sox or Chicago Cubs. The longer they go without winning a championship, the more charming they become, and the better our TV ratings." OK, now I'm certain it's a hoax.

Then there's this little item at the bottom: One other thing... The two items above are absolute fiction. Enjoy April Fools' Day. The "Pete Rose to be reinstated within two days" bit was the other "news" referenced.

After all, isn't this the same newspaper that published Gmail.google.com info?

The Google email thing is real. Reference here.

Trust me, the Niners fans are unclenching about now.
