Olympic champion Phelps again graces Wheaties boxes
With another six Olympic medals around his neck, swimmer Michael Phelps is once again touting the breakfast of champions. General Mills yesterday unveiled limited-edition boxes of its Wheaties cereal featuring Phelps, who now holds a record 22 Olympic medals. Phelps was last featured on the box after the 2004 Olympics. After the 2008 Olympics, he jumped ship to rival Kellogg to grace the boxes of Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes. General Mills didn't disclose the terms of its latest deal with Phelps. The company also unveiled Wheaties boxes featuring volleyball player Misty May-Treanor, who won a gold medal in beach volleyball in London. The limited edition boxes will be available nationally starting next month. (AP )
Terrell Owens to debut for Seattle against Denver
Terrell Owens will make his debut for the Seattle Seahawks tomorrow night when they travel to Denver for a preseason game against the Broncos. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said yesterday that Owens feels good and will see some time in the Seahawks' second preseason game. Owens signed with Seattle on August 6 and had just a couple of days of practice before the preseason opener against Tennessee. Carroll said he didn't think it was fair to run Owens out there that quickly, but feels he's ready after two weeks of work. Carroll didn't indicate how many plays Owens would get, but said he would play early in the game. It will be the first NFL game action for Owens since Week 15 of the 2010 season with Cincinnati.
