USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2008 Instead of debating college lit class terminology, I'm curious who you think is in the HOF that isn't worthy and/or actively discredits it. While I understand why he is in, I don't think Michael Irvin deserved an induction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 Given that as of recently, it seems the "golden" number is around 5 inductees... here are my predictions DE Bruce Smith TE Shannon Sharpe CB/S Rod Woodson Commissioner Paul Tagliabue LB Derrick Thomas Note: I'm wavering on Woodson/Cris Carter. I have a feeling Carter will have to wait a year (or even 2) before he gets in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiwf 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Do the voters just have something against guys who catch passes for a living? I don't see how you can have a HOF that took almost 10 years to recognize Art Monk, made Michael Irvin wait, and hasn't put in Carter or Sharpe on the first ballot. I wonder if Jerry Rice will have to wait too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 31, 2009 No way in hell that Rice should wait. But the HOF does seem to have a boner for linemen. I think even Randall McDaniel is going, "Seriously?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just John 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Glad to see Derrick Thomas make the cut this time around. Carter getting snubbed again is ridiculous, though. I thought Shannon was a gimme too, but maybe guys who were only the second best all-time at their position don't deserve to go in so quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Surprised a guy like Ralph Wilson beat out Tagliabue if they had to go that route... or the Sabols, although it seems the NFL is trying to phase them out so meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 I don't understand the NFL HOF. I looked at the list and thought the only no-brainers were Carter, Sharpe and Tagliabue. Seeing that none of them got in is downright baffling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted February 1, 2009 I can't believe Sharpe didn't get in. Woodson was by far the best of all these players, but still, Shannon Sharpe left out? What a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike wanna be 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 I don't particularly like what he's done with the team, I don't like that he plastered his own name on the stadium instead of selling naming rights to make money and then cried poor, I don't like how he's basically admitted the team's moving as soon after he dies as possible thanks to virtually no contingency plan, but I'm still glad Wilson got in before he died. That's the only reason he got in this year over some of the other candidates, they didn't think he'd make it to 2010. Hell I'm sure a lot of them don't think he'll make it to the induction in August.

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 I say we all trash the HOF in a militant style... I'm pissed off, lets all get drunk and trash that bitch in honor of Cris Carter's legacy. The only WR I've seen who was better then him was Jerry Rice. Even though Cris big up's Moss like a mad man, he was better then him! Fuck everyone! This is EHME, and I'll say it proudly!

MFer 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 I was surprised that Thomas and McDaniel made it, but I believe they both deserved to get in. I think the max number for enshrinement was 7, so they could've bumped Wilson and got Carter and Sharpe in. I'd love to hear an explanation from the people who didn't vote for them.
