In this era of extremes, Owens being the first Hall of Famer to go rogue with his induction might seem like his ultimate act of controversy. Instead, at the heart of his decision was the homecoming. The theme of Owens’ address at his alma mater was not, “I like me some me,” but rather, “This is for you.” Was it bit T.O. much at times, down to his having almost everyone inside McKenzie Arena stand to be recognized as outcasts, misunderstood, isolated or bullied?...
