Terrell Owens To the HOF

[Idgit]

They were both deserving of 1st ballot

Talent wise, yep. TO did enough damage to the individual teams he played for to earn his short wait.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Only fat, old, and out of shape fans and media members wanted TO to wait. Look around put down the burger and shut up

 

[sacase]

Let's be real with about Moss, he quit on his team several times and he was in trouble with the law and assaulted a LEO. . But people dislike TO because of his antics. Never mind that he produced and never quit. Broken ankle and still out played McNabb who was busy throwing up when it came to crunch time.

Moss wasn’t perfect either, but his antics were minor compared to TO’s when it came to tearing up locker rooms. Leaving the field early in an obvious loss it terrible, but it’s not a locker room fist fight and a public challenge to other teammates. It’s not multiple active campaigns against team QBs and other leaders.

Those things impact a team’s season and change the directions of franchises. That’s why TO had to wait. He earned his berth, and he earned his timeout.

Hypocrisy is the staple of the keyboard warrior.

they're talking about the portrait they do for each HoFer.You get to pick if you played for multiple teams.

You get to pick what?

I’m not a particular fan of Moss’. But this stuff is all chump change compared to TOs issues. Which was reflected in the fact that Moss was a first ballot guy and TO a third ballot guy.

 

[Melonfeud]

It was the star thing.

You know, that romantic idea that a team symbol on the middle of the field means something?

Emmitt Smith came out and tried to reclaim it and the bozos still did not stop him.

To this day some imbeciles love George Teague because he stood up to it.

In all honesty, Owens did that because he could.

All we had to do was stop him. And we couldn't.

And that was the heavy DB draft with Larrimore and other garbage.

That's just it ALEX,ever since that blatant taunting B.S. he pulled at midfield
( TWICE) in that 49ers game,I've refused to acknowledge his existence as a human bean on planet EARTH & wish to hell GEORGE TEAGUE would've decapitated that S.O.B right there and then,,,it's obvious YOU don't pack the stones to storm&sack the castle ,just judging by your whiney little "imbeciles" chirp,,,

Reed,Gonzalez and Champ get in for sure.
helluva class in '19.

 

[Melonfeud]

Well at least that explains why you would say something so mind-numbingly dumb...

 

[Melonfeud]

Laughing out LOUD:

That is a pretty HILARIOUS snub J. Whitlock extended
T.O's retort was probably compiled only after phoning a friend who being well versed in such matters told him how to spell & punctuate it.

Hall of Fame should be based on, on field production and nothing else

Never heard of a portrait. I do know know that you don’t choose a team to be inducted as. Brett Favre has Packer and Viking memorabilia in his display, he didn’t even know there would be Vikings memorabilia.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Agree and Pete Rose should have been in years ago.

 

[aria]

Meh, Moss is definitely the better of the two.

I really hope you’re kidding.



The referenced post points out how Moss squirted officials with water bottles, admitted to drug use, walked out on his team and having team leaders approach him, admitted to taking plays off, fighting with players, being forced to take anger management classes.

What TO did was “chump change” compared to that? TO was never arrested, he never admitted to drug use or taking plays off. TO is guilty of getting too carried away trying to promote his brand to the point where it rubbed people off the wrong way.

C’mon...just admit that you’re wrong? Neither player stuck with any team for long and both had a negative impact on the lockerroom.
