Terrell Owens is not in Canton this weekend as he officially becomes a Pro Football Hall of Famer http://www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/davante-adams-jersey , a decision he says he won’t second guess.

Owens told Vaughn McClure of ESPN that he has his own reasons for having his own private Hall of Fame induction event away from the ceremonies in Canton.

“I understand why I made my decision,” Owens said. “I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. But again, obviously the criteria and the system put in place for the Hall of Fame in order for guys like myself to be inducted, there are guidelines that the writers, the sportswriters, are supposed to adhere to. It’s not, not being inducted the first or second ballot Mike Daniels Jersey , but it’s about the process in which guys are nominated and ultimately inducted. There’s a flaw in that system. So this is not only about me, but it’s about the guys that went before me, that’s going to come after me. And I can make a stand for those guys so they won’t have to go through this situation.”

There may be flaws in the process of picking Hall of Famers, but if that’s the case, what better place for Owens to make his case than at the induction event? Why not attend the ceremony and include some thoughts about the process in his enshrinement speech?

Other Hall of Famers have used the enshrinement event to speak out about players they felt were snubbed. When former Steeler Lynn Swann was enshrined in 2001, he used the opportunity to press the case that his old teammate John Stallworth belonged in the Hall of Fame as well.

“This is the single greatest honor in my life,” Swann said in his speech. “The single greatest honor of my life. And Zach Miller Jersey , if this is the greatest hour of my life, then I would tell you at this moment, this is only a half-hour. It’ll be the greatest hour when I can stand and sit in that back row and John Stallworth is wearing a gold jacket making this speech.”

Sure enough, the voters put Stallworth in the Hall of Fame the next year. Perhaps if Owens were in Canton, he could talk in his speech about what he thinks the voters have missed in the past, and what they should consider in the future. Perhaps some of the players Owens thinks have been overlooked would get into Canton with a nudge from Owens.

But that won’t happen. Owens will be in Chattanooga, Tennessee Bobby Massie Jersey , making a speech with no Hall of Fame voters present. He may think he’s making a statement, but that statement will fall on deaf ears.

Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams was arrested on a charge of public intoxication early Saturday after police responded to an accident involving his car and found Williams riding an electric bicycle on a road near his home.

Police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco said Williams' Lamborghini left a roadway and struck a light pole near the team's practice facility around 4:45 a.m. Saturday. Police say the driver had left the scene. Officers found Williams while investigating the crash.

Williams was released from jail on bond on the misdemeanor intoxication charge.

In a statement released by his attorney, Williams said an officer he had met previously arrested him without performing a sobriety test. Williams said he was returning to the scene on a scooter to meet a tow truck driver.

The attorney, Chip Lewis, disputed the police account of Williams' vehicle hitting a light pole.

"Terrance did not hit a light pole and there was no light pole even near the vehicle," Lewis said. "Secondly, his arrest was wholly unrelated to the traffic accident."

Williams said he veered into the center median to avoid a collision when a man driving a vehicle in front of him hit his brakes. The two exchanged insurance information and a neighbor drove Williams home http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/vladimir-ducasse-jersey , where the receiver said he called for a tow truck.

"I have always been an upstanding citizen and handled the situation the best way I know how," Williams said. "I apologize if I should have handled it a little bit differently."

The 28-year-old Williams was expected to miss all the offseason workouts after breaking his right foot in January and having surgery. The Cowboys released Dez Bryant in a cost-cutting move while signing two free agents and drafting two more receivers.

The Cowboys declined to comment.
