OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hall of Fame won't mention Terrell Owens at induction ceremony customerservice@sportingnews.com (Sporting News) There will not be any mention of Terrell Owens during the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony in August. In fact, the Hall of Fame is excluding Owens from the event entirely, according to executive director Joe Horrigan. “The focus is on the guys who are here," Horrigan told Talk of Fame Network. "There’s no reason to bring him up as an individual. He’s not here.” Owens will have to wait a little longer to get his gold jacket as well. Players typically receive their gold jackets at Friday's Gold Jacket dinner that will happen Aug. 3, but the Hall of Fame will instead mail Owens' gold jacket to him the following day.

You’re absolutely right the voters started all of this and I have defended Owens from the start - he should have been a 1st balloter. This latest news is typical of how they’ve acted towards TO from the start. The HOF is a great honor and a big deal - it deserves far better leadership.

I went to the ralph/bruce induction, and i had a blast. the speeches definitely can drag on, and i actually hated the stadium the game was played in, but the HOF itself was incredible. I'd love to go back when there's fewer people, (it was body to body), but I need a reason to be back in that area first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should they spent time on a guy who said he wasn’t coming? It’s pretty simple, if TO wants to get a ceremony, show up. He will still get his bust. but for as talent as he is, he has to make everything about him. So insecure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Who's going to show up to TO's personal celebration? He didn't really endear himself to any team's fanbase; and he bounced around so much that no team can really claim him as "their" player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of just football, I think Ray Lewis had a much bigger impact on the nfl and won 2 SBs. TO Alamogordo single handedly destroyed 2 good football teams by himself. And I watched most of the Bills getting inducted. I’ve never got to the actual ceremony but the HOF is an awesome place to visit. 2 minutes ago, unbillievable said: Who's going to show up to TO's personal celebration?

It’s just ironic you talk about leadership and TO in the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
