Michael Irvin, Dan Marino, Derrick Thomas, and Steve Young, four first-year eligible candidates, are among the 15 finalists who will be considered for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the Hall's Board of Selectors meet in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, February 5.
Joining the four first-year eligible players as finalists are eight other modern-era players, a highly successful team/league administrator, and two players nominated earlier by the Hall of Fame's Senior Committee. The Senior Committee nominees, who were announced in August 2004, are Benny Friedman and Fritz Pollard. The other modern-era player finalists include defensive ends Richard Dent, Claude Humphrey, and L.C. Greenwood; linebacker Harry Carson; offensive linemen Russ Grimm and Bob Kuechenberg; cornerback Roger Wehrli; and wide receiver Art Monk. The team/league administrator is George Young.


Who do you think will get elected this year?

Marino and Steve Young are locks. George Young because of his length of service and the franchises he worked for (besides, NY always seems to get a nod and wink anyway). Art Monk is WAY overdue. Greenwood will probably get in because they couldn't enshrine that entire '70's team en masse, so they'll do it piecemeal.

I hope Harry Carson gets in, just so we can see if he'll show up and make a fool out of himself if he doesn't.

Marino, Monk and S Young are locks this year. Dent, Thomas, and Irvin will be in eventually, if not this year. The other guys are before my time so I don't really have any comments on them.

Ralph Wilson got robbed.

Ralph Wilson got robbed.
For sure. It will be totally ridiculous if George Young gets in before Ralph.

Derrick Thomas was good, but not good enough for long enough to be HOF.

Any vote for him is a sympathy vote, IMO.

I totally agree... I know that Derrick Thomas was good... but there is no way that he is that far and above the rest at his position to be in the hall of fame....
It bothers me so much that when someone dies they become that much better at the sport they played!!!!!!!

No he shouldn't. Eddie was a criminal. He shouldn't get in until Ralph Wilson gets in. :mad:

I SEE HARRY CARSON 3-4 TIMES A WEEK AND HE IS A GREAT GUY. HE COMES INTO MY JOB. HE FEELS LIKE EITHER HE IS IN OR OUT. HE SHOULDNT HAVE TO RELY ON A VOTE DUE TO A POOR CLASS OR WHATEVER.

Dan Marino and Steve Young made it a great day for quarterbacks when both were elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Marino, the most prolific passer in NFL history, and Young, whose accuracy and speed made him one of football's most versatile QBs, were joined by Bennie Friedman, an early-era quarterback, and Fritz Pollard...more (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/8166083)

I'm just glad that Michael Irvin didn't get in yet. :phew:

What did Art Monk do wrong? Who did he piss off? :scratch:
