CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – At 2:45 p.m. on Saturday, a man enters a makeshift green room inside McKenzie Arena. He’s both wearing a suit and carrying a garment bag.
The man’s name is Dave Brown. He happens to know two members of the 2018 class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. One is Ray Lewis, the Ravens linebacker who attended the Friday night ceremony where the Hall’s newest members received their gold jackets in Canton, Ohio. Every member, that is, but one.
The absentee is Brown’s other friend, one Terrell Owens, the I-love-me-some-me wideout who played for five teams in his illustrious and controversial 15-year career.
