For a guy who liked manicures, he was a stud on the field. Easy first ballot Hall of Famer.

Don't know if he'll make it in on the first ballot, but he'll be in there for sure at some point. Has been my favorite player for many years. Won't be the same without him on the field

I heard Seattle offered him a deal but chose to retire instead.

Smart man.

That sucks! Hell of a player.

**hawkfan8812** · 03-20-2012, 01:34 PM

Probably the dirtiest player in the history of the league, excluding the OL positions.

Fuck him.

**s.murph** · 03-20-2012, 01:36 PM

Fuck YOU! He was just misunderstood.

First ballot for the Cheap Shot/crackback/blindside/holding/biting/crying HOF.

**Beagleboy** · 03-20-2012, 02:13 PM

Gonna be hard to get into the Hall of Fame.
Tim Brown, Cris Carter and Andre Reed are having a difficult time getting the votes.

The last of a dying breed, a real TEAM player. Hard hitter, no prima donna attitude, class act. I'd choose him over Moss, T.O or any other of those annoying me, me , me WR's anyday.

You know as much about football as TBD. He would rather retire than play as a role guy in Pittsburgh, not team oriented, selfish and prima donna like.

**WTexasCrude** · 03-20-2012, 05:35 PM

Not surprising- the Steelers cut him month ago. Agree- sure Hall of Famer.

**hawkfan8812** · 03-20-2012, 05:36 PM

He refused to restructure or lower his 4 million cap hit to Pitts, so they had to release him. He still could sign with the team for less, or even the same but a more cap friendly contract for the team, but again, he refused.

And again, fuck him.
