Jerry Jones, T.O. trade jabs on Hall of Fame induction
DALLAS - Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will be in Canton, Ohio next week to welcome the Hall of Fame Class of 2018.
Former Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens will not be there.
Owens is not happy that he was voted in the third time and not the first time he was eligible. That’s why he is skipping the August ceremony.
Jones had some wisdom to share with T.O.
"I did have discussions with him. I had one of the greatest experiences that ever happened to me last year. He did not ask my advice. Had he asked my advice, I would've shared with him that this is a mistake. You for your own reasons but more importantly because of fans, you should participate,” he said.
Owens is still bitter about leaving the Cowboys.
“Jerry Jones ‘made a mistake’ by releasing me after listening to others when I produced, gave my ALL, sacrificed my health for the team but who am I?! But hey I thought Jerry had a mind of his own too. #GOFIGURE What I’m doing is for the FANS. #THISISFORYOU,” he said on Twitter.
Owens will be at his alma mater, the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, instead of at the Hall of Fame ceremony.
