    Five for the Hall

    I have a blog now at the WGR website. Not sure what they were thinking allowing me to do this :) So, here's my first post. It's who I would vote for given this year's HOF Finalists (only 5 allowed).

    What do you agree or disagree with?

    I have no problem with your selections; however, I think that Parcells is going to sneak in.

      I still think, unless in the very unlikely event they vote in more than one, that Brown or Carter get in before Reed. If you look back on the HOF All-Decade teams, just about everybody (especially on offense) that were voted to those teams eventually got into the HOF. Brown and Carter were both selected for them, Reed never was.

      I would put in Roaf over Shields, and I'm also afraid the Tuna will be inducted. Dawson should've been in long before this.

      AND WHERE THE HELL IS RAY GUY ?!?!?!

        Hell, check out the link Sal provided in the blog...Carter, Roaf, and Dawson are the only first team offensive players not inducted yet, and Brown is a second teamer.

          Bettis will get in because he's on TV.

          Parcells and DeBartolo deserve enshrinement, as does Cortez Kennedy eventually.

            I think they all deserve enshrinement, too. Maybe everyone on this list deserves it.

            But they all can't go in this year, obviously.

                    if i had the chance to make any bets on the 5 getting in i'd have to say its

                    curtis martin, bill parcells, andre reed, shields/dawson (only 1 not both), and brown or carter... i'd lean to tim brown though...

                          Parcells is the greatest coach of the past 25 years. He had no HOF QBs to work with & turned around 4 teams. His 1st won 2 Super Bowls with Simms & his backup, Hostetler his 2nd team went from the worst when he got there to a Super Bowl with Bledsoe, his 3rd team went from worst when he got there to the AFC championship game with Testaverde and he was able to take over a Dallas team that went 5-11 3 straight years and get them to the playoffs twice & only have 1 losing season in 4 years there with a washed up Bledsoe & a young Romo.
                          Almost every other elite coach of his era rode the coattails of a HOF QB and nobody in recent times, if ever, has turned around 4 teams. Most of the best coaches won in 1 place & then didn't when they tried to cash in on past glory-Johnson, Shannahan to name 2. Some have been successful in 2 stints. But 3 or 4? Parcells is well deserving of an easy path to the HOF & would have been in years ago if he had just stayed retired.

                            Reed has a good shot, since he was in the final discussion over Brown & Carter the last couple of years and it's not a huge year for 1st time players.

                            Reed was a ***** to fans and don't try and tell me differtent, since I saw it first hand. He's started to improve with the HOF in his dreams and mellowing with age, I'm guessing.
