I never really had much of a problem with T.O. during his career. I hated him in his early years with the 49ers mostly because they were still beating us down in that time, but overall never quite had negative feelings towards him.
He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and much of the drama around him was fueled by the media. People are only now coming around the corner that McNabb was also the problem in Philly. That whole incident over the SB has always bugged me because T.O. played his butt off in that game coming off an injury, meanwhile his quarterback played a bad game and ran that slow as hell two minute offense when down by 10.
He was not the problem on those Cowboys teams. He produced a 1,000+ yard receiving year and 10 or more TD's in all 3 of his seasons in Dallas. That's great numbers for a starting WR and he was around 33-36 years old at the time and much better than the other diva wide receiver they've wasted a lot of time on in recent years (Dez Bryant).
