When the inductees were announced for the 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame last month, NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens wasn’t one of the names listed.
Terrell has been very vocal about the reasons he feels he was left off the list, as well as calling out names of some of the greats who did make the cut.
Former Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison is considered by many to be one of the best at his position over the last 25 years. He’s finally responding to Terrell compaining about not getting in on his first year of eligibility.
“The person who was supposed to get in got in. And that was me. If he didn’t get in, that’s his problem. He can talk all that other bullsh*t like he’s been doing. That’s on him. But I’m in. My jacket is gold. I will look in the rear view for nobody.
“So he can get his ass in whenever he gets in, . . . if he gets in. If he doesn’t get in too bad. The hell with him.”
Well, that sounds like “keep my name out of your mouth.” When you look at the numbers, Harrison had more catches in his career, but Owens amassed more receiving yards and scored 25 more touchdowns.

Never said a bad word about him. I don't need a gold jacket to validate what I did. Happy for him. ???????? https://t.co/U6HbP6wKUI
