ESPN - Just as he's done in Philadelphia, Terrell Owens annoyed some teammates in San Francisco with selfish acts, stinging comments and petulant behavior during his eight seasons playing for the 49ers.

A few of those ex-mates are hoping to get a hard hit on Owens when San Francisco (1-0) visits the Eagles (0-1) on Sunday.

Owens said Friday in his interview on Miami's 790 AM that he didn't know who Smith was.
