Terrell Owens: Hall of Fame doesn't mean that much to me

[polamalubeast]

Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre is considered a lock for the Hall of Fame in 2016, but what about Terrell Owens?

The six-time Pro Bowl wideout is also eligible for induction next year, but Owens says he isn't concerned with how voters perceive his 15-year NFL career.


"I can't wrap my head around that whole process because it really, literally, doesn't mean that much to me," Owens said Thursday on The Rich Eisen Show. "I understand what I've done on the field and it's probably well deserving of (the Hall), but I'm being honest, it really doesn't bother me whether I get in or not."

Sixth all-time in catches (1,078), third in receiving touchdowns (153) and second behind only Jerry Rice in yardage through the air (15,934), it's absurd to ponder that Owens, 41, would be denied the Hall after voters just inducted Andre Reed, who -- yes, in a different era -- finished with 2,736 fewer yards and 66 fewer receiving touchdowns despite playing one more season than T.O.

I bet the bust in Canton will not shut its mouth either.

The perfect bust - the "sad clown":

Screw him. What a jackass he was. Great player, but him not making the hall will be karma for being such an ass throughout his career

I don't really see how they can keep him out. Sure, he was an ass and a clubhouse cancer, but he's got the numbers and he never got into trouble with the law (and diva WRs like him are usually even dumber than most in that department), and with guys like LT and OJ and Crackhead Irvin already in the HoF there simply isn't anything to justify keeping him out.

He is going to get in with stats combined with media attention he received but he will wait 3 or 4 years if not more. Plenty of receivers not named Jerry Rice have had to wait in recent years. Art Monk and Cris Carter waited to get in

Good point. The busts do talk to each other at night.
