Remember George Teague? No? Well, T.O. would.

George Teague is the head football coach and athletic director at Carrollton Christian Academy in Texas. But he is also the guy who took down Terrell Owens in 2000 as Owens celebrates on the star in Dallas. Teague, a former safety, played for the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins. He also played at Alabama. In a question and answer by Brian Sandalow of The Monitor, Teague shares his thoughts about the incident. Here's one of Sandalow's questions:
Q. How often are you asked about hitting Terrell Owens off the star at Texas Stadium during the 2000 season?
A: There probably isn't a day that goes by when I'm in Texas that somebody doesn't ask me about it. That was an event, a play, whatever you call it, that put a little stamp on my history with the Dallas Cowboys. It's a great talking piece. Terrell and I haven't talked much since then. But it is a great topic of conversation at all the tables I sit at.
