Don't see how Favre and TO don't get in on the first try

[Deleted]

Clinton Portis or no views

[ibdude]

How the f*** is Darren Sharper a candidate? He's a f***ing rapist.

[Milkman Norm]

Go Steve Tasker. Dude should be in Canton. No joke.

Meets the criteria and they are technically forbidden from using off the field issues against a player, only allowed to judge based on football accomplishments.

[Toilet Paper Roll]

Brett Favre
Terrell Owens
Kevin Greene
Orlando Pace
Marvin Harrison

[Toilet Paper Roll]

BTW its funny seeing Ethan Albright on that list, anybody remember the 25th anniversary Madden where he was the low st rated player and he sent a hate filled message to john madden himself?

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Favre, TO, Greene, Terrell Davis, and Jimmy Johnson

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Roger Craig should get in. He was a key player for a dynasty, and revolutionized the RB position. Also Kurt Warner should get in as well.

[fuzzywarble, squat cobbler]

What I don't like about the Football HOF is that there HAS TO BE a minimum of 4 inductees per year. It makes it less exclusive and prestigious.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Sharper gets inducted by his good pal Bill Cosby.

For the same kinds of reasons certain people get left out of the baseball hall, I don't think Owens is getting in at least this year.

If he isn't 1st ballot they seriously need new voters

He is literally one of the 5 best guys at his position ever

[Renslayer]

This is a great class. My ballot would be:
Favre
McNair
Owens
Davis
Edge
Harvin Marrison
Pace
Faneca
Rodney
Law
Woodson

Edit: Almost forgot Kurt Warner

I agree. He should get in first ballot but I don't think he will. I think some voters will not vote for him based on some of his past shenanigans.

Charles Haley took longer to get in the hall than he actually played in the league, and that was with 5 rings.

If you were a dick, these people will make you pay for it.

[Toilet Paper Roll]

Yeah, I have Owens as a 1a for best WR of his generartion, just behind or equal to Randy Moss

But if you're Brett Favre you can text pictures of your dick, and it's all cool.

Still no love for Jerry Kramer I see
