Former NFL star Terrell Owens is Twitter beefing with former Dallas Cowboy player Michael Irvin and sports journalist Jason Whitlock after they criticized his decision to skip his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

In a move that has shocked the sports world, Owens released a statement on June 7 saying he would not be present at the induction ceremony in August.

Whitlock blasted Owens during a segment for Fox Sports 1’s Speak for Yourself a few hours later. 

"The worst teammate in the history of professional football is now going to be the worst teammate in the history of the Hall of Fame," Whitlock declared.

Irvin took a softer approach. He pointed out how Owens' statement contradicted his reaction to being passed over in the past.

"It’s not about the voters. Don’t give the voters the pleasure of knowing that they meant that much to you that when you finally got in, you’re not even showing up," Irwin said.

"And the whole while you campaigned about being in. When he did not get in, he and I were shooting a commercial together one time, and he came to the commercial with a Hall of Fame gold jacket with all of his records on it. So you went and made a made-up gold jacket, but you won’t show up to get the real gold jacket? It’s something beyond my capabilities of understanding up here."

The perpetually outspoken Owens logged onto Twitter on Saturday, June 9, and invited Whitlock out for doughnuts. 

Owens began to poke fun at Whitlock's weight and Irvin's alleged coke habit. He also referred to the pair as "Uncle Tommers."

Wow.
