On Saturday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will reveal this year's class of inductees, and for the first time in the Hall's history, an honoree might react to the announcement by finding the nearest TV camera, dropping to the floor, proclaiming his love for his fans, and commencing a succession of stomach-crunches.
Terrell Owens is among the 15 finalists for induction, and given that this is his second time on the ballot, he's probably getting in this year. For those who covered Owens during his year-and-a-half tenure with the Eagles, it would seem difficult reconciling this prospect with that unforgettable summer of 2005, when he singlehandedly took a team that was presumed to be the best in the NFC, again, and reduced it to a smoldering heap.
