Should T.O. be a first ballot Hall of Famer?

[NLC1054]

As bad as T.O is...I love the guy. I know the character stuff, I know he's locker room poison...but I can't hate the guy. Him and Ochocinco.

They make the game fun to watch, if they don't always make it fun to play for the guys on the field. And as NC said, T.O is dedicated to his craft. He's always in shape, he runs the entire route tree (or most of it), he makes the quarterback he's playing with better, usually.

Should T.O get in on the first ballot? In terms of numbers, work ethic and overall impact on the game, yeah. If you want to dock him on character, there's a lot of prick's in the Hall of Fame. A ton of them. And there's plenty of guys with excellent character out of it. But I don't think he'll get in as a first ballot Hall of Famer anyway, because the press will try to humble him, or some bullshit.
