NFL HOF is returning fire at T.O.

Petty? Appropriate? Hilarious? What says the MSB?

quote:

Terrell Owens decided to hold his own Hall of Fame ceremony at University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, his alma mater, spurning his enshrinement in Canton, Ohio.

In return, the Hall of Fame will ostensibly ignore T.O. during its ceremony, concentrating on the seven other inductees participating -- Bobby Beathard, Robert Brazile, Brian Dawkins, Jerry Kramer, Ray Lewis, Randy Moss and Brian Urlacher.


quote:

Horrigan likened the situation to a senior who decides to skip her or his school graduation, in which the student's name isn't mentioned and diploma isn't awarded on-site.

"There's no reason to bring him up as an individual," said Horrigan. "He's not here."

What's the best way to piss off an attention whore?

Pay them no attention at all.

Petty. The hall of fame committee is made up of passive aggressive soccer moms

Anybody who thinks "petty" is obviously as juvenile as TO.

HoF is an honor. You are being celebrated with the greatest of all time, so a little humility is needed here. They paved the way for you to be great, so honor those that made it possible for you.

TO doesn't deserve the honor. He is a joke.

Is he really skipping because he didn't get in on the 1st ballot?

What a crybaby.

In 2017 he said: "HOF is a total joke. Honestly, doesn't mean anything to me to get in beyond this point."

So this is another misguided primadonna protest by Owens and reminds voters why they passed on him for a few years.

Shite, Irvin wasn't a 1st ballot - and besides snorting a lot of cocaine he wasn't a pain the arse to his teammates. Irvin's teammates loved him, he was the leader of that dynasty.

The football writers that vote on this shite paved the way for TO?

Weird.

Yep, this is just going to pave the way for TO's individual HOF ceremony to be televised on ESPN. A ceremony where he will be the one and only star and the center of attention. Got to give props to TO on this one

You are being obtuse. Every player who ever played paved the way for future players. Any and every sport, pal.

Not really. The writers are the ones who vote and they are the reason he isn’t going. Other hall of famers have nothing to do with it. He’d be there if the voters weren’t grudge holding babies for the past couple years.

You want to talk about Petty?


Petty is having a year in which this player doesnt get into the hall of fame:

5x all pro
3x receiving touchdowns leader
2nd all time receiving yards
3rd all time receiving tds



Leaving that guy out of the hall of fame ballot is petty
