Headline that Should be from The Onion, But Isn't
by Anonymous
To be fair, Owens joins an elite list of other top athletes (e.g., David Wells, Charles Barkley) who were misquoted in their autobiographies.
Here's a radical thought: if you're not going to write your own autobiography, perhaps you should consider reading the page proofs.
Then again, "misquotes" are a successful, time-tested strategy for gaining media attention. Maybe I should try it for my next AJS article...
(Credit to my friend Shelley for pointing out the headline to me.)
