Re: HOF question
I think some people did think they were watching something special. I listen to sports talk radio 680 The Fan down here in Atlanta and Tuggle is still getting mentioned. I can recall three instances this summer. The last instance someone threw out a handful of historical Falcon Players and then the host rated them on a 1-10 scale. Sorry I don't recall the list - but Tuggle was one of two who got 9s. I think fans of the franchise do consider this guy to be one of their best.

Re: HOF question
Well, yeah, but it's one thing for fans to think they're watching something special in one of their own guys. I've felt that way about a lot of Packers who don't belong in the Hall of Fame, probably going back to Bob ForteTanksAndSpartans wrote:I think some people did think they were watching something special.

Re: HOF question
I understand - this thread totally nixes my idea to start a thread promoting Tony Nathan or one of my childhood favorites for the HOF ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
The thing I forgot is when I first saw the thread I googled "Tuggle HOF" and he made the list in a BleacherReport article called: "The Best Middle Linebackers Not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame".

That was your mistake: equating Bleacher Report with legitimacy.TanksAndSpartans wrote:when I first saw the thread I googled "Tuggle HOF" and he made the list in a BleacherReport article called: "The Best Middle Linebackers Not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame".

They have some good articles sometimes. This one about Beattie Feathers was well researched: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2520 ... ard-rusher

Thanks Ken! - I've stumbled on a few of those before - but it's really cool seeing them all together.

Mike Tanier did that one, he's very good, IMO. I like reading his stuffTanksAndSpartans wrote:They have some good articles sometimes. This one about Beattie Feathers was well researched: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2520 ... ard-rusher
