His ego kept him from being a first ballot Hall of Famer. He wasn’t a team player he was all about himself. He threw several of his QBs under the bus and Philly kicked him off the team. The Cowboys moved on from him after three seasons, because he was all about himself. As TO said once “I want me some me.”
You said he wasn't a team player.... yet he risked his own health by playing in a Superbowl with a fractured leg and put up MVP numbers.
He never had any off the field issues, troubles with the law or anything. All he did was ball out.
It wasn't his ego that kept him from being a first ballot HOFer, it was the weak *** mindset of some idiots on the Hall of Fame committee. His NUMBERS proved he was a first ballot HOFer and I'm glad he did his HOF speech elsewhere.
Hall of Fame inductions supposed to be based upon ON-FIELD PRODUCTION.... I didn't know the Hall of Fame had and "ego" category. If that's the case, Aaron Rodgers should get in after waiting the same amount of time Owen's had to wait.
Now sit here and tell me Rodgers doesn't have a huge ego....
