Not a single word makes any sense, at all.
He was an all-time great player of the game of football by every single conceivable actual measure. He did his job better than almost every player to play his position to ever live, save like 5 or 6 (tops).
He deserved to be first ballot.
The Hall of Fame has been populated by assholes and terrible people since forever. TO isn't even in the top 25 percentile of bad people.
IN ADDITION TO THAT:
He is DECIDING to not attend, which is HIS RIGHT. He will celebrate his own way. It isn't "self centered" at all, and I found his statement to be gracious and professional.
