Those two were better choices, and both came later into the league, hope they can make it soon.

Those would have been great choices. Oh well, maybe next year.

WAY better choices! Maybe there's hope for one of them next year.

So I forget... after the 5 year rotation of senior/contributor nominees. (2 one year, 1 the next, etc.) what happens after that? 1 nominee each every year? 2 nominees each every year?

Any word on the PFRA candidates? I think I already know the answer, but I thought I would ask.

Twenty or so years ago, I thought the Pro HOF had done a much better job than the baseball and hockey halls and a somewhat better job than the basketball and college football halls.

Now I've just about given up on it. I think the last straw was finding out that Ron Borges is one of the voters.
