Mike Martz believes Terrell Owens should have to wait behind Torrey Holt and Isaac Bruce

Former Rams head coach Mike Martz is upset, that Torrey Holt and Isaac Bruce are not being considered for the Hall of Fame while the media circus wide out Terrell Owens is being considered in his first year of eligibility.

“‘Surprised’ isn’t the word,” Martz told the newspaper. “You can’t print how I felt when T.O. leapfrogged those two. That’s just plain out-and-out ridiculous. If they big-timed it and did all that dumb stuff, they’d get in probably earlier,” Martz told the Post-Dispatch. “I think they’ll eventually get in. I don’t think that’s an issue, but it’s tragic that people think of them like that. If Marvin Harrison gets in, how could they not get in?”

T.O. was asked by a follower what he thought of Martz comments and Owens did just what the world thought he would. He responded with a very intelligent answer.

Mike Martz may have a valid point with Isaac Bruce, but Holt is down the list quite a bit….
