Tony Dungy? Color me unimpressed.

Tony Dungy? Color me unimpressed.

He was part of multiple SB-wining teams beyond HC--2 as DC at least, right?

Does this mean that Brett Favre is 100% retired?

 

[Childs]

TO should have gotten in. I would have liked to see Warner get in as well. And kinda lame that Stabler gets in now when he's not around to appreciate it.

 

[akugami]

The other 31 teams in the NFL should congratulate Niners fans on Eddie D getting in. Granted this is rubbing salt in someone's wounds...

 

[BrokenVisage]

No Warner again, such bullshit, should have went in with Pace.

 

[KMFJD]

No Warner again, such bullshit, should have went in with Pace.

He simply didn't have enough good years to get in that fast, he had 6 good years which isn't enough imho to get into the HOF within the first couple of years of eligibility.

what about that Redskins guard up in the list that had a 6 year total career in the NFL in the 50s?

Never heard of that guy, i'm not against Warner making the HOF, it just shouldn't be an easy thing for him since he really only had a handful of great season.

 

[Homerboy]

I think it's ridiculous Morten Anderson isn't an inductee. That's a joke.
Say what you will about kickers, they are valuable to a football team and Morten is one of the (if not THE) all time greatest.

This is the 4th year the dude has been passed over.
He played in the league for 25 years and is the ALL TIME leading scorer for Christ's sake.

 

[KeithTalent]

TO and Morten should have gotten in!! Not cool.

KT

well, me neither; but the other point is that you are right: it took that guy nearly 60 years to get in after his 6 year career.

 

[Chess]

Jacoby should have gotten in, he was one of the main HOGS during the Gibbs era.

Unreal if you ask me...

Morten should have gotten in as well

 

[glenn1]

No Warner again, such bullshit, should have went in with Pace.

Agreed but it was a travesty that Pace didn't make it last year. And kickers get their annual screwing, not only should Mort Andersen get in but Gary AndersOn should have been in years ago.

 

[Homerboy]

I somewhat get how dudes like Warner omitted -- there's A LOT of competition in their respective position.

But skipping Andersen (and yes, AndersOn too), who are the best to ever play their position just makes absolutely NO freaking sense at all.

Pretty funny looking at the picture of all them on stage together. He looked to be about half the average height.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

The HoF should fuck with Favre. Like a month from now claim it was a miscount and he's out. Then a month later say they forgot the absentee ballots and he's back in. Then some hanging chads were not identified properly and he's out again. They can string him along for at least 5 more years.
