The Facts:

Driving his yellow Spyder CanAm a few blocks, Owens was pulled over by the Miami Beach Police. Witnesses said Owens was given a field sobriety test (but no breathalyzer test) and then offered the officers his signature before hopping back on his bike and drove away. According to the website, witnesses in and outside the nightclub said Owens was visibly drunk and should not have been able to pass a sobriety test.

Absolutely. ... But the usual conventions go out the window when it comes to T.O. And now that the Buffalo News has picked up on the
initial Dirty.com report, it's safe to say you'll be hearing more about it as it gains visibility; be forewarned. In the end, we'll stress what News staffer Allen Wilson did: "This just shows the type of news T.O. makes. ..." True or not.
