Full disclosure: I had no idea who Drew Pearson was before a one-minute viral video last week made me want to give him a hug and call him “Grandpa.”

Pearson, a former All-Pro wide receiver and Super Bowl champion with the Cowboys from 1973-83, was gutted last Wednesday when he was informed that he had not been one of the 10 players selected as a senior member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s centennial class, becoming the only member of the NFL 1970’s All Decade First Team not to solidify a spot in Canton.

The 69-year-old had been waiting 30 years to be inducted only to be shattered by the results.

“They broke my heart. They broke my heart. And they did it like this! They strung it out like this,” Pearson said.

Emotions aside, you could make a good case for or against Pearson getting the Hall of Fame nod.

Vs.

You can argue the statistics without being an asshole, but some men just want to watch the world burn.

Terrell Owens decided to relish in Pearson’s misery after Pearson criticized his behavior in 2012 when Pearson was the general manager for the IFL’s Allen Wranglers.

Owens refused to play in two road games and missed out on a mandatory team event. After Owens was cut, Pearson said he needed to handle himself better “outside the lines.”

Owens dug up another grudge he had with Pearson, who publicly shamed Owens for the way he handled his 2018 Hall of Fame induction. Owens opted to skip the ceremony and organized his own event at the University of Tennessee to ensure he’d be the person at the center of attention.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
