Owens laughs at new HOF criticism about dropped passes
More and more Pro Football Hall of Fame voters are talking about their decision to leave Terrell Owens out in his second year of eligibility.
As the criticism of their decision mounts, so has the decibel level of their defense.
The latest salvo comes from Hall of Fame voter Ron Borges of the Boston Herald. He wrote Friday, among other things, that "Owens not only led the NFL in drops once, he finished in the top four in drops seven other seasons during his 15-year career."
That was notably laughed off by one Terrell Owens ...
What else r they gonna come up w/ next?! Lol. That's like saying a shooter missed 2 many shots. Or a QB w/2 many INTs. These guys r 🤡. 🤣😂😜 https://t.co/4Hw5ejsksR

Dropped passes are fake news. Seriously. Look at the league-leaders in drops every year. You'll be surprised. https://t.co/rJD62B1d3W
