Glad to see Grimm get in. I loved the Hogs back in the day.

I agree Grimm was long overdue.

I think Dent was deserving. Maybe being from Chicago Im biased. I think he is as deserving as Randle. Rickey Jackson doesnt belong IMO.

Personally, I can't help but feel Jackson got a huge boost from the Saints being in the Super Bowl tomorrow, and the fact that he's the first (career) Saint to get in the HOF.

Edited to add: I firmly believe Dent is one of the most egregious cases of non-HOF status for an eligible player!

I agree, Jackson getting in over Dent was a bad call.

I had no idea that Dent was NOT in. That's ridiculous given the caliber of folks who they have let in the door in previous years.

Never once growing up did I think I was watching a HOF linebacker when I saw Ricky Jackson play. He was a good player, no doubt, and I wish he played for my team, but his inclusion is ridiculous. I think the other thing going for him was that they did not want to have another skill player go in with Emmitt and Rice, hence the DL, OL, and LB. Although I would put Haley or Dent in before him.

The Redskins OL was great but Grimm shouldn't of been selected over some of the other candidates. He essentially had a 6 year career then played portions of the next 5 seasons (30/76 regular season games).

When is Ray Guy going to get in?
