Maybe Someday Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 6 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: "at a later date, I will announce where and when I will celebrate my induction"......... He's mad because he wanted this as his bust but they said no. Or maybe he's mad that he won't even be the best WR in his own HOF class. Or maybe he's just ...mad.

Coach Tuesday Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Man if he isn't one of the all time biggest POAs in sports history. He's been trolling the HOF for years to politic his way in, and now that he's finally inducted he's bailing on the ceremony? Such an unlikeable dude. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPar_v2 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 2 minutes ago, Chandler#81 said: Typically self-centered. Never wonder why it took this long to acknowledge a great player. That’s a perfectly valid opinion of TO, and probably pretty accurate. Problem is the voters have stated publicly, repeatedly, that personal attitude, relationship to the press, and other off-field concerns are verboten when considering HOF candidates. Peter King, for one, makes this clear every year around vote time. To simplify it for themselves they state that they only consider on-field achievement. Problem is, that is a bald-faced lie. So yes, I do wonder why it took so long for a top-3 all-time WR to get in, if I take the voters at their word. Which, of course, I don’t. Many of them are vindictive, petty, small men who use their vote to voice displeasure at players that didn’t give them enough perceived “respect.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 This definitely has the possibility of being a media sh*tstorm but that's TO.... I'm in the crowd that agrees he should've been first ballot, the stats are there and when it comes to HoF voting, they emphasize personal achievements above all else. They consider playoffs/championships, but at the end of the day, it's about the singular player. A while back, Peter King wrote on why TO wasn't being voted in... and then proceeded to completely contradict himself by saying Darren Sharper had a HoF career and should be considered for the Hall, and this was at the height of Sharper's hideous legal issues. King's point was that the voting is based on on the field efforts, not how the player was in the locker room or how the player interacted with the media. "On the field efforts" was his defense for saying Sharper was Hall-worthy. But then, those same voters turn around and keep TO out for several years with their justification being his off the field BS... so which is it? They can't have it both ways, and in TO's case, that's what they tried to do, sit there and say, "The stats are there, BUT... remember when he did that one thing?" So if this is TO trying to stick it to them, then by all means, go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think the voters are not influenced by the people that run the show is naive. The media machine will use this as an opportunity to say "I told ya so" and those billionaires I referenced will laugh it up. The Rooskies are at it again.

JackKemp Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) How many of you think TO is more worthy than Andre Reed? I say no and Andre wasn’t first ballot. TO is just being TO. Edited June 7, 2018 by JackKemp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I support his decision about 80% to do this. In saying that, I've always been somewhat sympathetic with TO. I think there's something good about him at his core - he's just totally misguided on how to execute a successful life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Personally feel like he should have been a 1st Ballot guy on performance alone and was honestly a little put off when he wasnt elected the first two times. But, I am also of the mind that a player's job in the NFL isnt strictly relegated to on the field performance. There are a lot of aspects that go into their jobs beyond what they do on Sunday, including but not limited to preparation, locker room leadership, and yes even being a representative of their team in the media. I think we can all (maybe) agree that TO really wasn't a Hall of Famer in all areas of his "job." That being said that didnt preclude all time great players like Lawrence Taylor and Randy Moss from being elected first ballot. Aside from all of that, probably wouldn't hurt for TO to humble himself a bit and get over the entitlement, bottom line is he is in and I imagine this is the sort of thing that ends up in regret long term.

Cheektowaga Chad Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Talk about TO being TO Only disappointing thing about it is that the ceremony and that weekend is for the fans as much as the inductees. It one last chance to cheer on a great player. With that said I look forward to TO's own version of a hall of fame ceremony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
