![[FULL] Brian Dawkins Hall of Fame speech | 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame | ESPN](/img/n.gif)
The guy with zero criminal record, and zero off feild issues. But he is the bad guy. When didn't he show up during game time?
Dee Curry FACTS
Dee Curry And also came off serious injuries in record time.Doing everything humanly possible to be on the field.He never cheated the game!!! The only reason I watched football.
patrick y And he never choke in the super bowl and throw up in the huddle 👐 My bad maybe if he did Coke or murder or rape someone alledgy. He be a first round ballet. Nothing about his status or avg. He literally is a Top 5 maybe 3 guy
Character should be measured not on how they conduct yourself. Mike Irvin, day Lewis and Randy all had legal issues not to mention oj. I think he has great character never broke law or did drugs
No criminal record, but plenty of DRAMA. Spiking the football on the Cowboy's star at the 50 yard line, the bullshit whining, the attempted suicide / accidental drug overdose, etc. A great receiver, but this guy has caused his own issues, and this bullshit HOF ceremony away from Canton is just a disrespectful as the crap he used to pull. Hey, I'm a Cowboys fan and I loved his work on the field, (even when he was a Niner) but damn TO, you caused your own issues.
15,934 receiving yards, 153 TDs and people criticize the guy for having a chip on his shoulder for not being first ballad. The football media is more toxic than TO ever was.
Should have been a first ballot hall of fame.
luigi tumulak what difference does it make.It ain’t like dude is 80 years old and can’t enjoy it.T.O. Didn’t change the game of football.How many rings does he have?
Gary Parker I get your point. It's just crazy for me that a top 3 wr of all time had to go through 3 nominations to make it. Dude was a beast!
luigi tumulak Man those clowns That vote for the Hall are basically dickheads and all they saw was a great receiver that in their eyes wasn’t a team player and caused havoc to organizations.I like T.O.but he couldn’t get out of his own way with so much self centered activity.
Gary Parker He didnt have to change the game but his numbers were better then the so called game change winner T.O.
Donnell Adams I get your point and I agree but we all know that the Hall Voters are full of shit but simple and plain there are many great players that had to wait for a minute to get in. No one can reverse your numbers or diminish your accomplishments.T.O. Voiced his opinion and he is comfortable with his stance.
At the end of the day... he did it HIS WAY and has FINALLY made it to the HOF. One of the greatest to ever play in the National Football League 💯💯💯
Damn right God bless T.O.
Lol he sucks. Acting like a little child; always will be a little dick
Ronan Onita yet he still did it his way fuck the haters
Ronan Onita he sucks? When? This man was the 2nd greatest all around wideout in history. Only jerry rice was better.
I don’t even think he was at the stage of the nfl awards show when the hall of fame class was announced
Reporters was talking like this was gonna be a terrible thing. Wow, not bad. I respect I salute 💪🏾🔥☝️💯
Ray Williams All the reporters & writers tried to plant that seed in our heads to start all of this on a negative,this whole thing was classy & actually better than Canton...
Ray Williams But of course they tried to do another smear campaign!
Dee Eff Ta Def But of course!
Right on T.O.!
@@UnexpectedWonder EXACTLY the writers hate T.O. because they couldn't control him and he didn't kiss their asses.
That dummy cowherd blast him but he did his hot speech at his small college where he played. He remembers where he grew up and played.
FUCK COW
“But I love me more” this man remained 100 his whole life!!!
joeHundo exactly
If you 100% knucklehead.. then you perfect right?
Thunder Buddy you teddy 🐻 pic get the fuck out of here
It was a joke.
joeHundo thats right bro...hes mr 100
This is a man who didn't have commercial success like Peyton Manning but he didn't put his testicles in a female trainers face like Peyton Manning either. Amazing I never heard the outcry from anyone especially on ESPN. This man didn't have a drug or let's just say cocaine problem ok Michael Irvin. Did you see this man perform in the Super Bowl? He was a Hall of Famer before he was pushed out of the NFL.
cory ddp they always choose who they love and hate it's sad and hypocritical
Us you Did! That's why you heard about it...smh
NFL voters are like any other religious fanatic.
They pushed him to the CFL... ultimately retired shortly after
F the writers for baseball,basketball,hockey,and especially football hall of fames and WWE 2
My favorite WR ever. Glad I got to see him play when I was growing up. Congrats to the legend!
I love you too but I love me more! Greatest T.O quote ever😂😂
He deserves it, he might have acted out and ticked people off during his early days in the NFL, but the numbers don’t lie, the guy can play and he deserved the hall... Congrats T.O
I room full of the real fans who appreciate him. Beast mode!
They kept this man out for dumb reasons, I don’t blame him for wanting to do it his way. Salute to TO, one of the best I ever saw do it.
YOU WRONG BRUH, BUT I RESPECT IT
Kept him out? He waited 2 years
..im sick of u niggas acting like he waited 2 decades...cris carter waited 7 years. Chill the fuck out. He got in quicker than most wrs. My god...TO was a hell of a player but THIS shows why as a person the nigga is strange. He chose this over a REAL ceremony that he DESERVES. Its dumb but whateva....yall keep defending this dumb,unusual,strange behavior.
MIGGYME1 They shouldn't have done it period. He's a first ballot Hall Of Famer so he made his decision and i applaud him for it
MIGGYME1 You Cracka’s don’t get it.. football isn’t about feelings, or if he was likable. He worked his ass off not for the hof but to WIN! He is a guy you want on your side if you want to win.
Donnell Adams done what? He waited 2 years.....every other receiver beside moss and jerry rice had to wait and wait LONGER than TO........again u niggas will not look at facts......why did cris carter wait 7 years???? Cris carter was a top 3 receiver before moss and TO came along....why did he wait 7 years????? Andre reed......why did he wait damn near a decade??? Why????? Exactly.......cried like a fucking baby when its a list of people that waited longer and some STILL waiting. Yall keep defending the cry baby though...shows how sensitive u niggas is these days....oh imma whine because i didnt get in first like moss and jerry rice. Once u in the hall u in for life....does it fucking matter when u get in??? I guess to cry babies and idiots it does.
Congrats T.O. This honor is long overdue. Numbers don’t lie. You were and will always be a first ballot HOF’er in my book. 🏈
Philander Wicks go to show you politics are a waste of time
Mel & Dustin Huette Surprises my post has nothing to do w/politics. By the way, I don’t do politics, I do policies.
Rice, Moss, Owens. I would’ve killed to have anyone one of those dudes on my squad.
TenThumbs Productions im taking Calvin, T.O , Rice randy quit in oakland
TenThumbs Productions Niners had them all! But only Rice and T.O. at the same time!!
Randy quit in Oakland?
Wouldnt you with Kerry Collins and Andrew Walter at QB?
Josh Banda he literally quit on his teamates t.o n rice never did that I remember randy taking his self out the game and cried his way out of oakland.
Josh Banda Larry Fitzgerald never quit on the Cardinals and he had trash QBs his whole career except for 2008 with an old Kurt Warner.
I respect him didn't always agree with how he chose to handle every situation but he has always never been fake and he shouldve been a 1st ballot Hall of Famer i just respect him right or wrong he got to do it his way to the very end thats courageous nomatter how you look at it
EXACTLY!!!!!!
Terrell Owens is a beast!
Proud of him for staking a stance & sticking to it!
tropic electric, you are proud of him for being a petty baby, that refuses to grow up? His stance is dumb and petty. He's just salty the Moss went in first ballot. Any of you TO backers that think he's on Moss level athletically or simply catching the ball, you are delusional.
Damian Davis you are revealing how foolish you are. Relax
jre pocast, Oh I am huh? No just stating facts in all. And don't worry I very relaxed. Sorry I said something against your hero TO. Boo Hoo
Damian Davis and you're still doing it. BTW I don't give a fuck about a receiver personally as the goat (Tom brady) makes anyone look good.
jre podcast, still doing what? stating the truth? If care why do you keep replying?
I am so happy that Terrell Owens is in the Hall of Fame and it's very special that he did it at his alma mater the University of Tennessee Chattanooga I would like to see players do this a lot more Terrell Owens is a leader in the trendsetter the man has never been in trouble as an NFL player outside the game
The most physical receiver I ever saw
Russell Patrick HINES WARD
Pembrook Sutherland Hines Ward wasn't as physical at the LOS. Hines was just tough as nails. I don't think T.O was as physical as Michael Irvin though. I'm not saying that because I'm a Cowboys fan either. Michael wasn't as good as T.O but he was more physical.
quantae06 I GET IT, WHAT YOU SEEN IS LIMITED BUT T.O IS AT THE BOTTOM OF MY TOP 10. FOOTBALL BEEN MY LIFE
quantae06 THIS WHOLE DEAL IS TERRIBLE, FURTHER TAINT HIS LEGACY. HIS SPEECH WILL NOT BE IMMORTALIZED WITH THE OTHER GREATS AT THE HALL
Calvin Johnson
TO took the knee!!!!!!! and he aint gone stand for nobody! lets go TO!!!!
TO is my second favorite Niner after Jerry Rice..congratulations you earned it!!! It was a pleasure watching you!!!
You ain't doing it right if you don't have haters
T.O. is a legend
kenny lafortune He did right not to go in with 3 first ballets and him being a Third MAINLY BECAUSE HE PLAYED WITH THE OTHER FIRST BALLETS TOO DISRESPECTFUL
T.O. is the man. Guy is not a whiner or half man. He is a warrior, always willing to get in the battle and charge forward. Do not forget how quickly be came back from a broken femur. His frame of mind is solid. That is why he is so confident. He believes in himself and when you believe in yourself...you can do anything. And the world can't stop you.. Terrell proves it!!! let the haters hate..He is still the man who has done what many couldn't. and he did it against the wind...That is why he is a legend and I absolutely love that did this speech where he did it.
In his own mind. he was a nightmare in the locker room.
LEGEND! 💯✌
kenny lafortune - he's a legend in his own mind.
They Tryed to break T.O but he never let them do it to him I respect him for standing up
I was never an Owens fan, but without question his play on the field speaks for itself. Regardless of what you think of him T.O is without question a first ballot. No top 3 player at his position would've waited till their third attempt.
You can debate moss/owens are interchangeable at 2/3 for best ever- after rice
It's absolutely preposterous that it took him 3 nominations to make it. Especially when another controversial player like Moss is a first ballad Hall of Famer. Moss was also a quitter (when he was on bad teams). While TO balled out no matter what NFL team he was on.
Phinal Flash don't shame moss. TO was first ballot period.
Moss was a better player simple as that, the dude was physically the greatest ever and the most impossible to guard. TO was great, but he wasn't Moss or Rice great.
Facts Ray Lewis murder trail? Abuse issues
Moss hit a traffic cop, multiple abuse issues.
Damn shame.
He was kept out because he is gay
Phinal Flash true
Revy's Bitch impossible to guard but he couldnt do numbers without a good QB and doesnt have any rings lol 18-1
I like how you put them on blast T.O.
Loved me sum T.O. One of.the greatest to ever suit up. Thanks for the memories
After all of what he's done for the game and said about himself. And his honest humbleness with all of his talents and experiences. I can sincerely apologize for my grudges and ignorance. Congrats with all of my sincerity TO. You are one of the top three best NFL wide receivers of all time man.
Congrats to a legend
No matter what your a hall of famer!! TO baby
Daniel Orton - No matter what, he's a third round HOF and that will stick in his throat forever just like Tom Brady's fifth round draft pick did!
@@tsu8003 No matter what he accepted his Hall Of Fame jacket away from the b.s. ceremony in Canton and you better believe they are still pissed with him but he's there forever just like Brady's 7 Super Bowl rings are.
1 of the best to do thanks 81 and stay being YOU
Damn right! Finally a football great has stood up to the good ol boys who have done nothing in the NFL .
Kao Saechao The media and writers had nothing to do with the hard work and dedication the ATHLETES put into becoming a hall of famer. They shouldn’t be held back because some sensitive weasel didn’t like them.
This dude will never get over this In his lifetime. His kids and grandchildren will carry this load!
In my opinion, T.O. is one of the greatest of all times definitely was one of my favorites. Glad to see him do his Hall of Fame ceremony his way. I believe everyone should be able to accept the fact that they did something their way. At the end of the day, it is you who have to live with your decisions. I commend you, Terrell Owens for a job well done. You did it, you earned it, you deserve it and you said it "you love yourself more". Nothing compares to that feeling! Congratulations !!!
Thank you T.O I respect you need this message
I will never forget how strong willed and determined you were to play in the super bowl with my eagles in the 04 season, broken foot and all. I just wish you and the eagles could have worked it out the following year. It was my honor to see you play brother and congratulations on making it to the NFL hall of fame you deserve it!
Hate him or love him, one has to have a different level of respect for this brotha. I love what T.O. has done.
Love how T.O. handled his HOF and didnt play along with the fake dog and pony show with fake smiles for people that only put him in because they ran out of excuses not to put him in. Should've been first ballot hands down.
CONGRATS T.O!! U DESERVE EVERY BIT OF THIS!! WELCOME TO IMMORTALITY!!!
My guy T.O. Forever outspoken. A truly amazing player. Much respect to the legend!
Love you T.O. because you are real, what a inspiration you are. The NFL can’t stand a man like yourself who paved his glory through dedication and strong morals. All you ever expected was for your teammates to bring it like yourself every game. Most failed.
You are favorite football player, forever.
GREATEST RECEIVER EVER!!!
Owens is a true BOSS!!! He's an obvious first ballot HOF!!! Congrats Bro!!!
Beautiful speech. TO! TO! TO! TO!
Time to watch this. So happy for TO
don't sleep on CHATTANOOGA!!
Diego -Sama better not
🗣 Love you Granny!! 🤣🤣 @8:05 Great speech salute to doing it your way 👏
I like Terrell Owens...he was a man that represented a man that speaks his mind and does what he does as far as being his own man. I respect that man in him for being himself something a lot of people won't do. God bless you T.O.
Finaly!!!! Thanks for the upload ESPN!
GO T.O.!
Congrats to the a legend, Respect for TO
Top 3 receiver ever
phillynati0n215 naw, but he top 10
Liu Kang only other receivers close to t.o is rice and moss. Rice being 1, and you can argue t.o second moss 3rd since he took plays off
Give me Antonio Brown over T.O.
Top3:
Rice
Moss
Brown
phillynati0n215 Issac Bruce?
Liu Kang T.o has more tds, receives, and yards in less games then Bruce. He was 5x first team all pro, and did it with 3 different teams
So happy for him.
Salute to T.O. I'm so proud of the brother for sticking to his guns and not going to the Hall of Fame ceremony.. The Hall of Fame voting system is a joke.. And to all you T.O. haters yall ain't about shit
Shakur J u eat fruit don't u BOY !!!!!
Yea because being a 1st ballot hall of famer has a lot to do with the man you are off the field also not just what you do on the field. T.O. is a crybaby self victimized immature grown ass man who is disliked by 90% of the NFL so is he going to be a 1st Ballot? No. I'm surprised his crybaby ass even took the Jacket 😂 He constantly shows his shitty character by the things he says and does. Finally got called to the hall and that still wasn't good enough. There are better players who have waited longer he needs to grow up and be grateful instead of acting like a child and like the world owes him everything.
Z M name one player that was better at his CRAFT and waited longer than T.O. guess what I'm not going to wait b/c my time is to valuable... #no1wasbetter
Shakur J wanna fight bro meet me behind the $ general
Z M lol your comment lets us know how much of a clown you are
One of the best that ever did it
T.O. went at the NFL neck!!
OhmyFrickingoodness!!
#MuchRespect
I respect him for sticking to his decision love you T.O thanks for all the memories with the niners.
Mad respect.
He deserved this so entirely much. A man that had so much taken from him and shined in his face - he shined a little back. Beautiful man - good job
I guarantee that a lot of NFL Players are going to go down this route now........Just know who started this stuff T.O
Reel Deal exactly. I said the same thing. Maybe not next year or the year after but soon enough it will happen.
Is that really a good thing?
they won't do it , to afraid to buck the white colonizer plantation rule's.
dablubull44 “the white colonizer plantations rules” why are you making this a race thing and of all the economic markets of the world do you really think the NFL Hall Of Fame is ran by the “whites”. Look at this years inductees, out of 8 there were I think 3 that we white. My favorite player of all time is Brian Dawkins, he is an African American and I am Caucasian aka “white” even though I’m actually 75% Italian and 25% Irish so I don’t even understand what being “white” is. I’m not German or Russian or any other white ethnicity so please leave the race baiting at the door. Let’s be able to have a conversation with out mentioning race. I’ll leave you with this one statement and give it some serious thought, is it fair to complain about racism if you are racist yourself?
Bull 'F' Shit. They should have pulled his damn HOF. F this itty bitty bitch
T.O from Alabama one of the greatest wide receivers ever in history💯💯
One of the best speeches I have ever heard.
I'm glad he went. His family, friends, and those who supported him deserved to see him acknowledged for his hard work.
Congrats T.O.!!!
Top 5 WR of all time.
Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings Most definitely no questions asked
Top 3
Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings - First off Legod is not the best...Jordan is PERIOD...End of discussion. Second...Top 5? T.O. is #2...Rice #1
We love you T.O. loved you as a Dallas Cowboy you are and for ever be one of my favorite players what you stood for and the way you conducted yourself I understood you bro you all well deserved of the Hall of fame and should have been a 1st ballot Hall of Famer. CONGRATS T.O..
Congrats T.O.!!! I'm glad he did it this way, His way! He was my all time favorite receiver and the best receiver of his era! From the University of Tennessee Chattanooga to becoming a first ballot hall of famer, Congrats again T.O.
DGAF what anyone says. This man is a legendary Receiver. Yes he had crazy (but fun) celebrations but no criminal background or nothing! Great guy so glad he got his hall of fame induction!
T.O is a bad mofo.
I wonder what skip bayless thinks now
My favorite player of all time. Say what you want about TO but the man remained true to his core every step of the way! Played hard every time he stepped on the field and his numbers speak for themselves
Most amazing speech ever,from the soul!!!🙏🏼
Speak on it.. Live outside the box, Well deserved🙏🐐😬💪🔥
I respect any man that sticks 2 his guns!!! HOF OT!!!
TO!!! Lol
so proud of this guy one of the best to play the game
No one more deserving! Certainly one of the greatest of all time. If not the greatest!
I'm glad that he stood up for what he believes in. That is... Justice for himself, despite the overwhelming criticisms.
TO they can't take it away from you!!! You set the standard today...you called the writers on the carpet! Good for you!!!!
Love you man. Eagles fan right here. You were the best Eagles receiver we ever had I wish you would have stuck around. I ain't mad at ya. Congrats on the jacket.
Congratulations T.O. Definitely deserving of this honor. Happy to see him in the hall.
His day has come
much respect stand for something or fall for anything
T.O! I'm happy for you! Congrats! You really deserve it!!!
T.O is flat out amazing. Trailblazer move... you are and will remain my all times favorite WR!!!
Loved it, right on Terrell Owens, and congratulations on your beautiful ceremony going into the NFL Hall of Fame.
Congrats TO much love my brother! Non bias or non racist football fans appreciate the work you put in on the field!! You are well deserved of a Hall of Fame spot!!
Nothing but love to you are one of the best receivers of all time coming from a die hard niner fan we still need you boy
