I hope this is the year that both Art Monk and Derrick Thomas get in. Those are the two most deserving names on that list:salut:

 

[oregonweim]

If Derrick Thomas doesn't get in I'm burning Canton down....

 

[Zeeck]

I want to see Monk, DT and Dent get in, and I'd also like to see Darrell Green as a first-ballot HOFer. Also, Ray Guy should be in. After all, he's by far the best ever at his position.

I think what the Sabols have done for the NFL should land them in the Hall as well.

Too bad it's not up to me. If it were, Irvin would never have gotten in before Monk.

[ebsoria]

And yet again the Broncos will get no love. No, TD should not be getting in... yet, but Gradishar, Atwater, and Mc?!?!? Not all together mind you, too many deserving names, but ONE of em should have been in by now.

Ill tell ya though, if somehow one makes it in I'll be in Canton for the induction.

 

[ebsoria]

I want to see Monk, DT and Dent get in, and I'd also like to see Darrell Green as a first-ballot HOFer. Also, Ray Guy should be in. After all, he's by far the best ever at his position.

I think what the Sabols have done for the NFL should land them in the Hall as well.

Too bad it's not up to me. If it were, Irvin would never have gotten in before Monk.

And yes, the Sabols SHOULD be put in. I don't think they need to be voted in though. With what they have done with and for the NFL?!?! Heck, if Barrell Man can make it in, then the Sabols are slam dunks.

 

[Jerry!Jerry!]

Cris Carter should be a first ballot guy but why should he get in if Art Monk does not

 

[Seahawklady]

Chuck Knox Coach 1973-1977 Los Angeles Rams, 1978-1982 Buffalo Bills, 1983-1991 Seattle Seahawks, 1992-1994 Los Angeles Rams How Knox isn't in I don't know

Ground Chuck! :cheers:


Yeah, Art Monk not being in is a disgrace.

Would like to see Randall Cunningham in as well, he was one of a kind.

 

[Ryo1549]

Im bias but yes Roger Craig. First 1000/1000 guy.

 

[dnabb8436]

Harold Carmichael, Randall Cunningham need to get in
