The Facts:
Bill Parcells says he's happy to have Owens on the Cowboys. It just took him 48 days to say so. "I say, 'I support it,' and that's the way we go," Parcells finally said Friday. "I don't view it as a gamble. ... I'm not approaching this with the idea it's going to be adversarial or I'm going to be mandating every little thing this player does."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Parcells kept a very low profile in recent weeks, prompting many to wonder if he was on board with owner Jerry Jones when it came to adding the mercurial wideout. But Parcells mentioned several times today that the decision to sign Owens was made by the entire front office, noting that picking players "is about a 50-50 proposition anyway. ..." In Owens' case, we'd suggest the odds a bit better than that; especially in year one.
