    I really enjoyed your article on TO Vs Moss. I believe it's extremely close and you have your negatives and positives for both WR's. Moss more dominate. T.O better all around WR.

    I believe top 4 WR's in the early 2000's.

    1A. Moss
    1B. T.O
    3. Marvin Harrison
    4. Tory Holt

    That would be an interesting comparison is Marvin Harrison vs Tory Holt

    others would be Chad Johnson (NOT Ochocinco) haha and Jimmy Smith (very underated)

    Terrell Owens is tenuous to hang your hat on. If I were an elector to the NFL Hall Of Fame, TO would never make the cut. Off-field dissension that over shadows on-field performance negates HOF consideration. SO, you and I are at odds even prior to your worthless op pieces published on BR.

    Did you block me from posting on your articles? The last three comments I left on your article about TB and TO working out have disappeared. I didn't think I said anything to offend...

    I cant find my comment anywhere on your Orton article. Which probably means you deleted it. LOL What a joke bro stick to hanging off of TO's nuts cause you clearly aren't qualified to write about WWE

    You know, I have come across a lot of horrible writers on bleacher report. But when I came across some of your articles you blew the rest out of the water. I mean how extremely biased you are towards T Owens is crazy and ridiculous. But not only are your articles awful, you are snotty and an ass to the people who comment on your article. You do realize that when you state your OPINION everyone else is entitled to give their own as well. So instead of reading comment and telling people to give facts maybe you should give facts in the first place and then look at the readers comments and take in their point of view. I don't know who hires you idiot writers on here (Not everyone) but you sir got lucky to be picked.

    People are somehow blaming Peyton Manning for the Colts loss to the Jets.
