But Owens was left off, and, like the voting for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, that is likely to raise questions. Owens was elected to the Hall of Fame in his third year of eligibility, and part of the reason he did not get in on his first two tries was his behavior with teams during his career. Owens played for five teams over 15 seasons, and he clashed with front office personnel and teammates on several of them. It's hard to say if that is why Owens did not make the all-time list -- nobody on the panel said as much, and we do not know how each other voted -- or if he ran into the same problem so many other stellar players at every position did: There were so many great candidates but so few spaces open.
