Terrell Owens Snubbed From the Hall of Fame

The 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame has been announced. Modern candidates Brett Favre, Tony Dungy, Marvin Harrison, Kevin Greene, and Orlando Pace have been selected, along with senior candidates Ken Stabler and Dick Stanfel, and former owner Eddie DeBartolo, Jr.. Earlier today I posted my predictions for what I thought the committee would do.

While it took them over 8 hours of deliberations, I still managed to correctly nail the selections based on past voting results and the incoming class. Terrell Owens should have been a no-brainer choice as a five time all pro, the most for any wide receiver not named Jerry Rice, since the merger.

(Most of the HOF selectors were also voting for those all pro seasons).

But, I didn’t think they would, as Marvin Harrison has served his time (well, not in the real world, but in the HOF waiting sense behind selections of Andre Reed and Tim Brown the last two years). I also thought Kurt Warner would be done in by Favre being on this ballot, and thought they wouldn’t go two QBs.
