Hall of Fame Finalists Announced...Ralph NOT on the list

[Michael82]

Quarterbacks Dan Marino and Steve Young and wide receiver Michael Irvin were among 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Tuesday.

Marino, who holds many of the NFL's career passing records, and Young, who led San Francisco to the 1994 NFL title, were among four finalists who made the list in their first year of eligibility.

The others were Irvin, a member of the Dallas teams that won three Super Bowls between 1992 and 1995, and the late Derrick Thomas, who played for Kansas City and died in 2000 of injuries suffered in an auto accident.

If Lynn Swann is in the Hall of fame with 330 career catches then Michael Irvin deserves to go in with his 750 career receptions.


What has Ralph Wilson done to derserve a trip to the Hall of Fame? NOTHING! He was one of the cheapest owners in the NFL for most of his time as the Bills owner and even after having success with Marv Levy he went back to low balling his head coaches and or hiring guys with no experience. He did not learn from his mistakes. Just look at all the dud coaches in Bills history.


The guy has not committed to winning. The only thing that he has committed to is making money!

And

theblackbear does not care if people don't want to hear it. It's the truth and it needs to be said!

Ralph also has some shady business with Cookie Gilchrist in the past. Just read what Cookie has to say about Ralph. You're definitely going to like it!

RW almost single handedly (with Lamar Hunt) held together the AFL at one point...

[Dr. Lecter]

How can you say no to Steve Young?????

And Blackbear, Ralph likely saved the AFL when he bailed out the Oakland Raiders. He should be in. The fact that he kept the NFL in small market Buffalo when he could have jumped to Seattle is a testimony to the man.
