Which one would you rather have on your team?
Corey Dillon
Terrell Owens
I'll trade you both of them for LaDanian Tomlinson.
If forced to take one or the other, I'd take Dillon.

I'm certainly not a CD fan, but thinking back to how many years he was forced to deal with the absolutely clueless Bengals organization, I personally don't blame him for wanting out (much like I don't harbor ill will towards Takeo). Honestly, who can blame those guys for wanting out after playing with that much ineptitude for that many years. Haven't heard a peep out of either of those two since they were traded.
T.O. on the other hand, might be the biggest cancer in the history of sports. He wanted McNabb, he got McNabb; he totally poisoned that relationship. He has lost millions upon millions of dollars of salary. He'll likely never get more than a one-year contract for the remainder of his career.
C.D.'s acting out, while unprofessional, is at least explainable. T.O.'s actions and indiscretions are unconscionable on every/any level. His words and actions truly boggle the mind.
Not even close. Dillon's a grump, but Owens is just evil.

Which RB, since week 5 of last year currently has more rushing yardage that LT?

Neither. So I didn't vote.

In terms of attitude, Dillon doesn't belong in the same category as T.O.

It's not even close. Dillon. As was proved last year you can still win with Dillon. Owens destroys everything he is near.
No choice here. Corey Dillon. Yes, he's got his problems but TO is the worst kind of cancer.

A sharp stick in the eye.
As far as Corey Dillon and Takeo Spikes go, good riddance to them. I have no problem with either of them wanting out, but I just can't abide by the way they did it. Takeo could have just been happy going to the Bills and letting things go, but every time the Bengals come up, he has to say something derogatory about the Bengals, Cincinnati, and even the fans (at times).
Corey has been quiet now that he has his ring, but the way he went about getting out was wrong. The guy went on TV wearing another team's jersey and publicly dissed Willie Anderson, who just happens to be one of the guys that made the vast majority of Dillon's yards possible. If you want off the team, fine. Take it up with management. Just don't start crying to the media about how you "just want to win," especially after you just signed a big contract extension.
After watching CD last night I might take TO. He was pouty and looked like he wasn't trying to much once they got down 14-7.

Shouldn't there be a 3rd option?
Here's a few examples:
- I'd rather take a gonad shot before each game than have either on my team.
- I'd rather have Donny and Marie stuck on every radio station for the entire year.
and for those that really want to prove their point....
- I'd rather there be a rumor that I had sex with a same sex co-worker in a public bathroom.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
TO makes CD look like a good teammate. I'll take Corey
