T.O. to skip HOF Induction

[GNG]

The HOF has a dismal track record in bypassing great players. It took the great Jerry Kramer 50 years to be inducted.

Forgot TO played more years in SF than every other place combined. Only 4.5 years combined in Dallas and Philly

You're right but that should not be a factor in the HOF voting.

By waiting till now. His numbers merited it 1st time out.

Another reason why the hall of fame means fuck all to me.

Which makes him different than tens of other guys who had HOF numbers and had to wait in what way?

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Yeah....I don't think you got your finger on the pulse here...I'm going with more that people think he is an idiot and are kind of laughing at him...

Well, duh! That's why I said what I said.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

I guess I’m at a loss on how the voters did him wrong.

Move from under that rock you are living under and you will see.

But it is. Every year. So once again - what makes it different for T.O.?

You're insane. He's not giving a middle finger to the voters. He's telling the HOF itself to fuck off. So you really think it's okay that he's the only guy ever to not show up?

So why do you think he is telling the HOF itself to fuck off?

That is exactly how I've handled every graduation ceremony I've had since I attended my highschool graduation.

I honestly couldn't give a flying monkey's arse about ceremonies and pomp and circumstance.

I don't even put my various "certificates" on my office walls.

So he is being penalized for playing for more than one team in his career? That shouldn't be a factor.

 

[GNG]

Which makes him different than tens of other guys who had HOF numbers and had to wait in what way?

His huge ego.

 

[Wazmankg]

Can't really blame him. The football HOF is easily the worst of the 4 major sport HOFs. Nobody with his credentials waits for 3 years in any of those other sports.

 

[GNG]

Randy Moss was a dirtbag during his NFL career but didn't need to wait very long to be inducted.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

So does that diminish his accomplishments?

Nope just his character as a person.

 

[Thruthefog]

Stat hog.

 

[Wamu]

So why do you think he is telling the HOF itself to fuck off?

Really? What a dumb question. Well to answer it he's telling them to fuck off by not showing up.

 

[GNG]

The HOF is full of shady characters... How about OJ Simpson?

Really? What a dumb question. Well to answer it he's telling them to fuck off by not showing up.

While I think he felt disrespected is one part of this, I also think he feels he can better monetize this if he does his own ceremony/party... as for the latter is probably him getting horrible advice and following it, which would be par for the course for him.

Again I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it.

But it could be why he's had to wait three years? Be a douche. Get treated like one.

You're a douche but you still can post on SportsHoopla.
