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!
Not one of those great defenders is in hall of fame - Mike Stratton, Butch Byrd, George Saimes, etc. One of the fewest allowable yards running in history of NFL.
I think I read somewhere that fans could make nominations for the Hall to make considerations on. While those players were very good, the one I would nominate above all of them would be DT Tom Sestak.
One problem...33 years since the merger and the AFL is STILL only getting limited props, like Billy Shaw in '99 (the only HOFer who played his entire career in the AFL). Too many old guard writers are still not sure the AFL will ever be a viable enterprise, and the younger writers (say VOTERS) never HEARD of the AFL. Just an observation.
Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
And someone else said "Never mind!"

That's because it WAS the stepchild, just like the USFL and the XFL were. That doesen't mean there weren't some good players to come out of those leagues, it just means that none of them could ever hope to replace the NFL as THE professional football league.
To your argument of the '65 team, it sure would be nice to see those guys honored. Sestak, Stratton, and Byrd especially.

More simpler is right. ******.
