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!
Bill Parcells leads a 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame induction class that also includes mouthy defensive lineman Warren Sapp, prolific receiver Cris Carter and a pair of stalwarts from the trenches, offensive linemen Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen.
Watching CC begging to get into the HOF on ESPN really soured me on him. Not that I liked him in the first place. How many playoff wins has Carter been a part of again?
Andre's year is next year. I don't see any first timers getting in: Derrick Brooks, Marvin Harrison, Tony Dungy, Shaun Alexander, La'roi Glover, and Zach Thomas.
To me Strahan, Shields, and Reed are three guys whose names will be called next year.

brooks and harrison are 1st ballont hof... no doubt.
reed " should" get in next year.
how cris carter got in this year over reed doesnt make sense.
he was an elite possesion wr... thats it.
never went to a sb, and only 1 nfc championship game...
reed created so much after the catch and lived over the middle... there was no rules for offense back then either...

Carter is on one of the HOF's very own precious All-Decade teams ('90's), first team. Brown was on the same list as a second-teamer. Reed was never voted to one by the HOF voters. Brown will get in before Reed, based on that fact alone.

hof panel can suck a dick!!!!!!!
Carter and Harrison stats are almost identical and it took him 7-8 years to get in. Harrison has the SB ring but he still gets in line behind Reed and Brown imo.

Doubt it. Reed has got down to the final ten the last three years. This is something Tim Brown has never done, he got clipped when they went from 15-10 this year. Although to be fair, the first time Reed got to the final 10 (2010?), Chris Carter did not make it.
In addition to Reed getting hosed... Bettis got hosed again. Hard to imagine how the no.6 rusher in NFL history isn't a first ballot Hall of Famer... but there it is.
while we're on the topic of hosed candidates... how about Michael Strahan...

This was the biggest surprise to me. The man with the single season sack record, 140+sacks, and a super bowl ring isn't a first ballot HOF'er? I didn't think Andre was going to get in this year, there were too many legitimate first ballot guys. But what pissed me off if that a WR DID get in, and it wasn't Reed. Strahan gets in over Reed and Carter, fine. Carter getting in over Strahan, and Reed. It's a joke.
Two years ago CC was eliminated in the 15-10 round. Andre wasn't, he got eliminated in the 10-5 . What has happened over the last two years that has made CC pass Reed? I understand that this happens sometimes with the voting, but it's a flaw. And I can't help but get the feeling that Carter passed Reed because Carter works in the media and associates more with the voters more.

Funny you mentioned Bettis. I haven't even mentioned him in this thread. And trust me, as an Irish fan I was disappointed he didn't get in either.
