No, people didn’t forget. Terrell Owens is a first ballot hall of famer. It’s these idiot media guys with votes punishing him because of his behavior.

[@Pfisiar22]

NFL hall of fame is voted on by former players and coaches and people involved in the league. Owens was left out of the first ballot because he was a spiteful manchild who's influence in the locker room often negated his contributions on the field. While Owens should have been first ballot, I don't find it sad that he is not. This is what happens to someone who burns as many bridges as TO did.

[@pulladunn9798]

Ed Reed maybe, Polamalu, u REACHING

[@df6148]

Pulla Dunn Ed reed reminds me of Rod Woodson. A ball hawk. Int return specialist. But with a Miami Hurricane toughness. Polamalu reminded me of Junior Seau if he were to play the Safety position. A huge gambler instinctively and also from USC. Nobody has ever seen an Islander Play Safety in the NFL and become a HOFer at it. He definitely revolutionized it by opening the doors up for future generations. Islanders now play positions like QB (Tuavailoa) and he probably would’ve been sent to linebacker or backup lineman had it not been for Troy showing that you can play something outside of the box (pun intended). Reed revolutionized by being a Cover Corner with the toughness to play safety. He opened the door for Miami Safeties. Sean Taylor was next. He also proved that you don’t have to be this monster looking safety to dominate a game. He revolutionized the game by becoming such a threat that every team now had to have that free safety superstar on their defense and it started to show on payday. Troy Polamalu was drafted in RESPONSE to Ed Reed because they needed somebody LIKE that to stay on Par. Revolutions are when eyebrows now look your way because of a huge change that happened. The current gen usually is unaware of the revolution that happened because to them, the fruits of that labor become the “new normal” and all they ever knew but somebody helped pave that way and it is why it is good to know our sports history and history for that matter.

[@scottsodyssey2485]

The best example I've ever heard of how to determine if a player was a HOF'r was "Did he dominate the game at his position during the era in which he played?" Think about it like this and you can answer most questionable inductees. Just like Prime said Randy Moss, DONT even have to think about. TO, should have been first ballot, weather you like him or not his numbers are HOF worthy.

[@Mytowerisaneiffel]

I agree and disagree. The ones you don’t have to think about are first ballot hall of famers. The ones you do have to maybe think about should still get in eventually if deserving. If not then let’s only let first ballot guys in, which no sports do at any level because it’s stupid.

No, that’s a first ballot hall of famer. Deion and a lot of people seem to forget you get multiple chances to get in and that’s the reason, there’s levels to it . First ballot is for the absolute legends like Deion. Terrible take from him in my opinion and Deion didn’t change the game itself, he changed games, but there were shut down corners who could return long before Deion was born. Jordan changed the game itself, Kobe didn’t. So is Kobe not a hall of famer? If you take a 100 question and miss 5 you don’t fail

He arguably changed how a lot of people saw the position. he was only 5'10 at LB but ran a 4.38 40 time. 6th all time in consecutive games played, went from undrafted to team captain and He changed the position and should definitely be a Hall of Famer, but not talks at all about him.

What he doesn't realize is that the exclusive players are not keeping the museum open! If the public is not coming through the doors just to see the exclusive players, then the halls must let in good players that the public identifies with. It has always been about the money.

He's right and it's sad, the HOF use to be THE BEST OF THE BEST and now it's just guys who everyone liked and was decent for awhile. The problem is the HOF has become a big show that makes money and because of that the NFL needs to put guys in every year so they get desperate.

@ebuteouy agree 100%. He got the numbers so he’ll get in but you never had to gameplan for him. He was never the X factor, when he was on the 49ers it was all about their defense. Deion knows it.

[@STW-News-Headlines]

Stats always lie! Anyone can put up stats. Baseball stats are bogus someone gets 600 homeruns in 13 years and then someone 20 years into his career get 601 and that’s considered a great accomplishment? Know if you’re going to break a record you have to do it in the least amount of games that that person did it in. Playing five years longer and then beaten that record is not breaking that record. I’m sorry same thing goes with Basketball as well all time greatest score will Chamberlain did it in a lot less years then Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He’s not the whole time scores leader he just played longer. Stats live 100%. Game footage tells you who the guy was because he wasn’t on the team that ran a lot? Because he was not on the team that through a lot? Because he was not on an offense that was great? Please stats are bogus

[@rw2698]

This is the socialite status, be my friend and you'll get into the HOF when journalist have the greatest number of votes and influence on who gets into the HOF. Not the athletes who actually participated in the sport. Knowing stats does not qualify a commentator/ talking-head as a qualifying agent for any HOF.

Respect to Prime he always speaks the TRUTH! I agree 100% look I'm a Giants fan so of course I respect Eli, However not a Hall Of Famer at least not 1st Ballot. If he gets in then it is time to go back and get Jim Plunkett and finally put him in because he won 2 Super Bowls as well

[@citizenghosttown]

The difference is that Eli Manning is also in the top 10 in every major passing category. He made 4 Pro Bowls (Plunkett made none). And it's worth noting that Plunkett, while on the Raiders, had at least 7 teammates who were future Hall-of-famers (4 on offense). Eli played with just one HOFer (Strahan).

[@88cutty]

Bettis was one of the greatest closers in NFL history. When it was the 4th qtr, teams were exhausted with this big mfer ramming into them all game. Its was a wrap. Give Bus the ball and lets run this clock out. People say "only 3.9 YPC"...but still retired as like the 5th all-time leading rusher. You had to game plan for Jerome Bettis.

[@drewbranch7700]

[@alexl9799]

My only problem with Deion's way of thinking is that if you base it off whether or not you have to think about it, that kinda lends to personal biases taking over the voting process even more. Like with Zach Thomas he says you gotta think about it. Yet, if you analyze his career he actually had almost the same type of career as Brian Urlacher who more football fans would agree was a no-doubter for the HoF. Just because the guy isn't a no-doubter doesn't mean he isn't a HoFer. If you have to stop and think about it that's not necessarily a bad thing, in fact it'll probably lead to some realizations about certain players who you hadn't considered in that way.

[@Mytowerisaneiffel]

Well said, there’s levels to it. If you’re that guy you get in first ballot, that lets people know you were that guy. If you’re third or fourth ballot they can judge accordingly. His way of thinking is flawed. He said Randy Moss no doubt (which I agree with) but Bill Polian didn’t. So does that mean Moss shouldn’t have been first ballot? Of course not
