edjr 5,547 Posted July 13, 2018 http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24079755/hall-fame-honor-terrell-owens-individually-ceremonies The Pro Football Hall of Fame will not acknowledge Terrell Owens individually during enshrinement weekend in Canton, Ohio, next month, the Hall's executive director says. "The focus is on the guys who are here," Hall of Fame executive director Joe Horrigan told the Talk of Fame Sports Network on Thursday. "There's no reason to bring him up as an individual. He's not here." Owens announced last month that he would not attend the ceremonies, scheduled for Aug. 3-4, and would instead give a speech at his alma mater, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Owens will deliver his acceptance speech on campus Aug. 4. What a complete focking clown. Grow up you focking assfock They should ban him from the HOF. Focking loser.

MDC 5,877 Posted July 13, 2018 Has anyone before TO that has been inducted into any HOF said they weren't going? Serious question here: Has anybody with TOs qualifications and no known history of roids, gambling, arrests etc. ever been snubbed by the HOF? They basically waited to induct him solely because hes a jerk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthernVike 2,080 Posted July 13, 2018 Wasn't there an article out there questioning if he could afford to go. I thought it said that you end up taking all kinds of family and friends with you and it gets expensive as hell. Maybe he's broke. Not that that would surprise anyone.

I thought it said that you end up taking all kinds of family and friends with you and it gets expensive as hell. Maybe he's broke. Not that that would surprise anyone. He definitely blew all or most of his $. That was why he had that stupid reality gig. ~ $80 million gone. He's a complete moron. Great player but a moron. Yeah, he's pissed about not being inducted on 1st ballot but there's a good chance he would have done something really stupid and embarrassing if he was there even on 1st ballot so they are lucky he's not there.

RLLD 3,455 Posted July 13, 2018 I get why TO has not gotten in yet, I think the voters did see him as a jerk, and frankly he is a jerk. But the HOF should be about performance over such things. Not saying I agree with the treatment he got, but I understand. Now he is missing the opportunity to change his image, and is instead doubling-down on it. It is clear he does not perceive the world accurately, I suspect he has and will continue to miss out on opportunities because he is such a dooshbag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sort of get the bias against players who had a string or arrests or hurt the integrity of the game by cheating / gambling etc. TO is just a narcissistic jerk. Thats all he did and the guy is arguably the second best WR ever. It was petty of the Hall to stiff him. Its also petty of TO to not show up but you know what? Fock em. His career speaks for itself.

Andy Reid essentially deactivated him for a year and I bet the Big Cheeseburger still loves him too. All the dude ever did was be crazy. He was an incredible WR and an incredible entertainer.
