Uhhhhhh no breh thats how contracts workHe played with a broken leg in the Super Bowl and he didnt have a right to request a better contract?
If I negotiate 3/36 and then ball the fukk out in the first year then try to get the last two years voided solely because I want more money...uhhh that's a dikk move.
That's what we hate the NFL for doing to its stars. Signing them to contracts and then dumping them when it goes bad.
He left 49ers for more $$$ after calling his QB a "fakkit."
He left the Eagles after publicly stating that "If we had Brett Favre instead of McNabb we would be much better," also stated that "I wasn't the one who got tired in the Super Bowl" (throwing McNabb under the bus AGAIN) AND threw such a fit about his contract that the Eagles actually suspended him 1 game with pay, one game at a time, for like the last 4 or 5 games of the season rather than let him be with the team.
He left Dallas after claiming that Tony Romo and Jason Witten were "excluding him from the offense on purpose" in an attempt to reduce the amount of his next contract. This was after a down year (stats wise) for him.
He left Buffalo because they wouldn't make him the #1 passing option (he was past his prime at this point).
Cincinnati declined to bring him back because of "locker room issues." It is assumed this means he wasn't interested in the optional mini-camp and position meetings.
I mean when 5 different organizations (3 of which are rivals) would rather not deal with you at all when you're as talented as he was...it means SOMETHING. And I love T.O. to death. His '07 season was incredible.

Yea the media didn’t get over it until Iverson cried on national tv and begged to be let back into the NBA
I’m pretty sure if Iverson didn’t change up and get back on the sixers just to retire with some dignity they maybe wouldn’t have given him first ballot

TO was unapologetic about his action. Compare him to Moss & Moss is equal or even worse than TO. Moss was traded or releases from Minnesota, Oakland, New England, & Tennessee but played that last year for the 49ers then smiled in the media & all was forgiven. TO has chances to clean his image by saying he would do things differently but didn’t. Perception is reality.

Those are not issue with enough brevity to warrant what happened and still happened.
Again, what else did he do.

Not too many folks he played with have bad things to say about him which is weird that people still state he was a locker room cancer. That whole Witten/Romo thing was not him. Can't remember the Cowboys defensive player that was on Cold Pizza the day he was released but even he said it wasn't TO who brought it up. It was Roy William's. TO was the only one with nuts to confront Garret with it.

So when a team want players to take a pay cut on a contract to save the team $ or cut a player like the Skins did Mccnab less than a year after extending him for 5 years is that not a dikk move?
I think he said that because Garcia looked like Hobbs from Shawshank Redemption.None of that ain’t shyt
Well except the Jeff Garcia shyt, but if it look likes a duck and quacks like a duck. it’s a duck
He bagged a bad one as his wife.

Yes.
If you sign a contract...you should adhere to the terms of that contract. That goes both ways, for diva ass players and for shady ass GM's.
He was (and still is) a narcissist.
Ultimately he was arrogant and talked himself up, and people don't like those types. That's why you hear all this shyt about being humble, that's why the Mannings always seem like they're acting and reading from a script(they basically are) basically people like the Mannings are trying to cater to people's insecurities.
T.O doesn't give a shyt about anybody else's insecurities, he's trying to deal with his own. We know being black and committing the same offense as anybody else will yield you a more aggressive/harsh response...so no T.O didn't deserve to get fukked over by the hall, but there's no question WHY it happened.

All of this is facts. And he straight up called Garcia a "fakkit" iirc
T.O. is one of the goats but the fact that the Eagles chose to pay him to NOT play kind of says it all.
He also left every single team on bad terms. The NFL is a shytty organization for sure but to leave 5 different teams on bad terms is a bad look on him.
He didn’t leave Cincy nor the Bills on bad terms.

I agree anyone with common sense would put A.I. first ballot, but when he was forces overseas in turkey it was looking pretty bad.
If NBA media is so forgiving then shouldn't Marbury be first ballot as well?
