I know, what a steal that was for the Bills. They received two Hall of Famers in that trade!
(I'm assuming Powell will be elected to the HOF this February, as all other recent Senior candidates have been.)

I swear I thought Clay Matthews Jr. had been inducted long ago.

Matthews only became eligible for the HOVG in the last year or two.

In 1999, Jamal Anderson's injury really hurt, and Chandler missed four games. Also, they didn't have WR Tony Martin, and promising third-year TE O.J. Santiago seemed to regress. The Falcons cut Martin a month after the Super Bowl. He was charged with money laundering for a convicted drug dealer. At...

Chandler had been very good, when healthy, with Atlanta. The Falcons had started 1-7 in 1997; Chandler had not played in two of the losses, and he was knocked out of four other games (Atlanta lost all 4.) In the 2nd half of the 1997 season, Chandler finished every game, had a 101 passer rating in th...

Agreed. Every time I hear a 90s (or later) Cowboy fan bitch about how Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry, I ask them how Jerry should've done it differently? In thirty-four years, not a single one has come back with a decent answer. "Well, I would've done it differently" is usually the best the...

Pleasantly surprised to hear of Parker's election. Very deserving, despite what Broncos and Patriots fans may be saying on Twitter.

Daunte Culpepper's 2004 season - he ranked 5th all time on the single-season lists for passing yards, TD passes, and passer rating. This came in a season where Randy Moss was limited to 13 games and 700+ yards with a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, that was the same season in which Peyton Manning s...

Drew Bledsoe began to go downhill exactly halfway through the 1999 season. The Patriots were 6-2. Their only losses were in the final 25 seconds: Vinatieri missed a FG as time expired, and Damon Huard threw a TD pass in the final 25 seconds. Bledsoe had thrown 13 TD's, 4 INT's, and had a 97.9 passer...

Just to clarify, I'm not saying that I believe that Bob K had his shot at Canton, was rejected, and should no longer be considered. I'm just using that to illustrate why I disagree with the letter writers' reasoning.

As Ken Crippen said, Sharpe's election is more likely to hurt Dilweg than help him.
