Good group, can't say any of them don't belong. Polian should have been a no-brainer, and nice to Tingelhoff finally get recognition.
Still need to get Tasker in.

OK, Bill. The coast is clear. You're in.
Now get your ass back here.

Jerome Bettis in over Orlando Pace...this league is very difficult to take serious at this point. One of the best to ever play the game vs. a HB who probably shouldn't even be in the HOF.

6 probowls, and 13,000 career yards rushing disagree with you (5th all time). Bettis was a fantastic running back for a LONG time in this league and really deserved to get into the HOF.
BTW: congrats to Bill Polian. he definitely deserved it. a little surprised Terrell Davis didn't make it in.

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!!!
meh
Bill Polian said yesterday...Jim Kelly and Peyton Manning are the two reasons I got in.
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
Now that he's in will he take GM job again?
Kurt Warner should have been a 1st ballot HOFer.
Polian might have been the easiest vote they had this year, except for maybe Seau.
Well deserved. And Tim Brown finally makes it.
Mick Tingeloff remains the player most responsible for creation of the nose tackle position in the NFL.
Before the Chief-Vikes SB, Hank Stram realized there was no way Tingeloff could handle Curly Culp straight up, so he put Curly directly over him, and forced the Vikes to double him, preventing them from using a pulling guard on their sweeps.
And..it worked. But that's because Curly was a bad ass of the highest rank.
Baseball sucks, so I wouldn't have a clue, but I'll bet a shiny new quarter that the best closer is in there, along with several other part-timers that manned the mound once every four or five games.
Tasker was the best at what he did, and he revolutionized a part of the game...if trail-blazers aren't worthy of the honor, than nobody is.
I disagree. Not many 270lb running backs could run as fast or were as light on their feet as he was. In his early years he was a game breaker, later on he became a dominant short yardage/clock eater. overall he was the heart and soul of the steelers for a decade.
he deserved it.

Foes anybody else see the irony in an executive we fired getting into the HOF?
