So here is the semifinalists list for the 2006 NFL Hall of Fame. They will narrow these down to 15 in Janurary, then vote 3 - 6 people from that list to the Hall of Fame.
The class of 2006 will be determined at the selection committee's annual meeting Feb. 4 in Detroit, the day before the Super Bowl.
So, which 15 should move on, and which 3 - 6 of those 15 deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? Also, two "legends picks" are pretty much assured of entry. Those two are...
Here's the list of candidates, plus the teams they contributed to notably during their careers. Yes, I know Warren Moon played for Seattle and Kansas City, but he didnt do shit there... so yeah. There you go.
My 15 are Troy Aikman, Reggie White, Art Monk, Ray Guy, Richard Dent, Michael Irvin, Derrick Thomas, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Warren F'ning Moon, Ken Stabler, Gary Zimmerman, Lester Hayes, Art Modell, and Russ Grimm.
The final 6? Jesus Christ. What to do? So uh..

White
Irvin
Moon
Monk (Final year of eligibility)
