‘Owens caught some flak for trimming his fingernails on the sideline during a break in the action. The CBS announcers, Bill Macatee and Steve Beuerlein, poked some fun at T.O. when the cameras focused in on what he was doing, and he was perturbed by the fuss. “What about it? What’s new?” he said. “They’re going to make a big deal out of that, let ’em make a big deal out of it. It’s nothing new. My nails were too long, what about it? You guys want to nitpick at everything I do? Find something else to talk about. It’s pointless. Sometimes you get hangnails or the ball bends your fingernail back so that’s why I felt like I needed to cut them. It’s part of football. Anybody want to nitpick about it, go ahead. What’s new?” Of course, Owens could have cut his nails before the game, right?’
