Yes I get the irony and don’t disagree. But I can’t use Owens’ childish behavior at times to justify the HOF’s vindictiveness and unprofessional behavior. TO was just a player. A transcendent wideout and one of the best on the field ever, but still just a player. The voters and HOF officials are supposed to be stewards of the game and its history as a whole. I don’t think it is out of line to hold them to a higher standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankoElTanko Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 1 hour ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: 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. I love the hypocrisy of the last line... This is the Hall of Fame, where you are enshrined (INDIVIDUALLY) for your (INDIVIDUAL) efforts. Although you have the (INDIVIDUAL) choice to choose which team represents you, the honor is of individual recognition... Not one of these guys played for the Canton Gold Jackets...

BUFFALOKIE Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Th HOF should take a higher road. Announce TO. Show highlights or whatever. Treat him as if he was there, then move quickly past the inductee speech part and on to next man up. To not even mention his name puts the HOF on the same pettiness level as TO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s like a Kardashian. The eagles couldn't make a Superbowl without him. What planet are you on? The guy was playing on a broken leg while a healthy McNabb was literally throwing up on himself. I don't mind what TO is doing at all. Some people just hate him and they'll never change, why waste the time. People praise kids for doing what they want instead of attending the draft, a personal accomplishment. Yet people are going to insult TO for doing what he wants to do during his personal accomplishment? Some people are so hypocritical and antiquated. He had his character assassinated by these people who vote on this, !@#$ doing what they think he should. The comments about his insecurities, you're certainly not someone I want judging people. You're writing psych profiles for what? If you know his childhood you conveniently left out the story about how he met his dad. You'd be awful at that line of work.

Solomon Grundy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Although I think it's a little childish that T.O is skipping the HOF ceremony, it was also childish for the voters (media) to prevent him from being a first ballot selection. Terrell Owens was one of the greatest WRs to ever play the game. His passion for the game at the wide receiver position was second to none, Steve Smith Sr. a close second. I, personally, would like to see a current Bill HOFer i.e. Thurman, Lofton, wear a #81 Bills jersey underneath their HOF jacket to honor TOs time in Buffalo and to show the voters that their decision to delay his induction into the Hall was wrong.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 The Real Terrell Owens: Before The Hall Terrell Owens and Randy Moss. These two prolific -- and polarizing -- wide receivers will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, along with fellow Class of 2018 members Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, Brian Dawkins, Jerry Kramer, Robert Brazile and Bobby Beathard. Owens and Moss were two of the most spectacular wideouts of their era -- or any era. Not only are they tied together through sheer dominance at the turn of the millennium, but they both displayed larger-than-life personalities and brash antics, on and off the gridiron.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Vaughn McClure ESPN Staff Writer Hall of Fame WR Terrell Owens on skipping this weekend's ceremonies in Canton: ``I understand why I made my decision. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. But again, obviously the criteria and the system put in place for the Hall of Fame in order for guys like myself to be inducted, there are guidelines that the writers, the sportswriters, are supposed to adhere to. It's not, not being inducted the first or second ballot, but it's about the process in which guys are nominated and ultimately inducted. There's a flaw in that system. So this is not only about me, but it's about the guys that went before me, that's going to come after me. And I can make a stand for those guys so they won't have to go through this situation.'' Owens will hold his own ceremony at his former school, the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, at 3:17 p.m. Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 That doesn't make much sense. TO's actions do not help the process at all.
