Selections later tonight, only thing we know is that TO posted that he didn't make it.

 

[smackababy]

LT for sure is getting in. Surprised TO said he didn't make it, because the class doesn't have a huge amount of names, I figured he'd have made it.

 

[lupi]

LaDainian Tomlinson
Kurt Warner
Terrell Davis
Kenny Easley
Jason Taylor
Morten Andersen
Jerry Jones

Good picks, especially gratifying that Anderson got in. I would have put Warner in his first year but I'm glad he's in now.

LT getting in before TD would mean there's no justice in this world.

Besides being a Denver homer what fucking logic supports that? LT had at least double the good seasons as TD and monster stats. TD had 4 great seasons, and 0 others. LT has a ton of NFL records and threw for 7 touchdowns.

TDs biggest hit against him was that his career wasn't very long, yet he did more with that career than many others with a lot more time.

And of course I'm biased. There's no such thing as an unbiased sports fan... Just people who lie and think they are.

He didn't do more than LT, which was the ridiculous argument you made. TD had 4 great season and 4? absolutely awful ones. I mean, it would have been unheard of to come back from that injury, though.

TO should have gotten in

2 super bowl wins, SB MVP and he got offensive player of the year twice as much as LT playing half as long. I have no idea how you could ignore all of that.

Anyway, I'm not saying LT didn't deserve to get in. I'm just blown away by people saying TD didn't do enough in his career.

Not taking away TD's accomplishments, but his greatness was unfortunately a flash in the pan. I don't think he shouldn't be in the HoF, but as I said, to suggest he deserved it more than LT is silly.

 

[MrSquished]

TO should have gotten in over TD for sure

 

[lupi]

HoF weekend is here, and a reminder the game is tonight and not Sunday.

 

[lupi]

End of the first half and a pleasantly enjoyable game to watch.

 

[lupi]

Andersen is surprisingly great.
