All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Saturday At 2:30pm, Thurman Thomas Should Hear His Phone Ringing
Re: Saturday At 2:30pm, Thurman Thomas Should Hear His Phone Ringing
I really hope so. I think he and Andre both deserve it, and it would be nice if they went in together.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

and Reed isn't getting in.. sorry.
You may be right about Andre, but he was a better receiver than most who are already in.

I agree Jan but the out of town media views him as a good player who dropped a lot of balls in 4 SB's. That will kill him with many voters. Hope I'm wrong and he eventually does get in.
The problem is more modern day WR candidates will keep popping up with bigger stats and he'll be forgotten. He needs to get in within the next 2-3 years or he may be a senior candidate before it happens.
I think Thurman and Bruce Matthews are LOCKS.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
Re: Saturday At 2:30pm, Thurman Thomas Should Hear His Phone Ringing
All the more reason I think Monk is going to get in this Saturday and Reed won't...
And because Irvin has three rings and had his career cut short with an injury, I also think he's going to get in.. In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if he made it over Monk if only one of them get in.
But Reed will be THIRD on that pecking order and they aint p utting three WR's in this year.. Which doesnt bode well for Reed, because this is probably the weakest HOF class we'll see for the next several years.
Meanwhile, Thurman is 100% lock to get in.. He should've been in last year. He'll be the first call Saturday.

WIth you on Matthews.. Thomas is a real lock and Matthews is the next closest thing to one.

Definitely think Thurman's going this year, and well deserved. I have to agree with most here that Andre is probably out of luck unfortunately. While I never liked Irvin either, the man has some pretty good numbers and more importantly a handful of rings.
