    Re: So, who get in the HOF this year?

    My five picks would be WR's Reed, Carter & Brown, P Ray Guy and ST Steve Tasker, but obviously that isn't happening. All three receivers are overdue, Guy is the biggest travesty in any HOF, and Tasker belongs IMO. Given the 15 finalists, though, I would have to say...

    RB-Jerome Bettis--the HOF voters love their RB's.
    G-Will Shields
    WR-Cris Carter--one of the WR's finally cracks through, and his current public visibility pushes him past the other two.
    DE-Michael Strahan--only because one of the first-timers will probably get in.
    HC--Bill Parcells--He's due, and DeBartolo/Modell have no business even being in the conversation.
    DT--Curley Culp--Senior nominee that should've been put in years ago.

            If Jerome freaking Bettis makes it over Andre Reed and Cris Carter...

                  Jerome Bettis is a guy who will get in the HOF but hopefully not for a few years.

                  On the surface, you'd think he'd be a shoe-in. He's 6th all time in rushing yards and tied for 10th all time in rushing touchdowns.

                  But his stats are a testament to longevity more than dynamic play. In thirteen seasons, he was only a top 5 rusher three times.

                  Bettis' career YPC is below 4.0; hardly the kind of stuff that will leave HOF voters breathless.

                  But his bruising running style and storybook ending may appeal to the Selection Committee.

                  I think there are more deserving candidates who have been waiting longer to get in. Bettis shouldn't be enshrined this year.

                      I don't see them ignoring skill positions completely in favor of the trenches.

                          i thought they had 6 inductees - one head coach, and the rest all former players...

                            Watch it be Modell, debartelo, carter, and tuna
                            Just because art died, and the ravens and Niners are playing and they'll put carter in just so he'll shut his yapper

                              thats the likely HOF crew.

                              because the hall hasn't been convinced he'll stay retired. They don't want to vote him in, only to return to the NFL to coach another team.

                              My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

                              MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
