On a side note related to the NFL HOF. I was watching the Missing Rings series on the NFL Network and was surprised to here that Jim Marshall was not in the HOF.

I've campaigned for Bob Hayes in threads like these for years. I alays thought he had a better case than Art Monk, for instance.
But Art Monk Bob Hayes Cris Carter Somebody explain that to me. |

Apparently HoF doesn't like touchdowns because all Chris Carter does is catch touchdowns.

Well, the Hall must not like receptions either since he had over 1,000 of those.
Seriously, I'm stunned that Carter is not in the Hall at this point. I've got no particular bias with this candidate, but I can not fathom how his numbers can be overlooked twice and likely a 3rd time next year when Rie is on the ballot with him. |

I agree, I was just using Chris Berman's line about Carter to be sarcastic. |

And others get kept out by a high profile anti-champion, re: Peter King v. Art Monk. Kept him out for a number of years.

Interesting comments from Peter King on Tagliabue's bid for the HOF.

Cris Carter is not eligible for the HOF until the year AFTER Jerry Rice is inducted. |

Interesting article about Derrick Thomas selection. Sounds like three older voters who refused to ever vote for Thomas retired from the board. The new voters apparantly voted for Derrick........

They've started some early coverage of the HOF induction here in KC. Great memories from his former teammates about Derrick's 7 sack performance.........and the 8th one that got away.
