    I like a lot of these players but the whole idea of the HOF doesn't move me . It sorta feels like a chef throwing a handful of spaghetti at the wall , lets see which of these slobs stick. Brian Boselli or Alan Faneca good players to be sure no not this year. I love Ty Law but I don't care if he ever gets in, he owns a trampoline place on Route 1 in Norwood , he will benefit more from that than being in the HOF , even if the parking lot looks kinda empty usually.
    On the other hand you got a guy Ray Lewis who should get in but he is a murderer and obviously a moron . He has a TV job he doesn't deserve already ( not because he murdered someone , he is terrible TV a massive idiot , babbling fool , ) putting him in the HOF would just be doubling down. When they put Eric Dickerson on as a sideline reporter and he could barely speak they $hitcanned him immediately and yet Ray still has a job . Eric never killed anyone that I know of.
    If I get one vote I would choose to put Jim Rice in the football HOF , just to annoy people here . Jim should be in every HOF , golf for instance , that guy can drive wow.

    Ok why when I type 3 paragraphs and indent them does the forum mash it all together in a wall of text? Or put part of it in a weird gray box ?

    Ty Law, Ray Lewis and Randy Moss stick out as front runners in my opinion

    I don't care much about any of the others, but Jerry Kramer is a hell of a good guy and I'd like to see him in the HOF.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    Looks like a strong list this year, sure some will be disappointed when they don't get in.

  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,694 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Moss and Lewis are the only clear clear HOFers on that list, IMO.

    Today's the day they announce the new Pro FB HOFers. Here's the list again (Steve Atwater was erroneously listed as a finalist in the initial announcement a month ago)

    Tony Boselli
    Isaac Bruce
    Brian Dawkins
    Alan Faneca
    Steve Hutchinson
    Joe Jacoby
    Edgerrin James
    Ty Law
    Ray Lewis
    John Lynch
    Kevin Mawae
    Randy Moss
    Terrell Owens
    Brian Urlacher
    Everson Walls

    Robert Brazile
    Jerry Kramer
    Bobby Beathard

    According to the HOF's website, between four and eight new HOFers can be inducted in a year, with no more than five coming from the modern-era candidates. So, with that in mind, here's who I would elect:

    Isaac Bruce
    Ray Lewis
    Randy Moss
    Brian Urlacher
    Robert Brazile
    Jerry Kramer
    Bobby Beathard

    As much as Moss and Owens probably cost themselves more stats by being who they were at times their talent has always been undeniable so I’m glad they both got in. I thought they would make them both wait to be honest.

    Hey. We agree on this one. At Lambeau always great with the fans when he visits. Long overdue.
