    Congrats to Anderson and Easley, I feel a little bit bad for the receivers that got snubbed again.
    Not real sure about Warner, but I guess taking two different teams to the Super Bowl counts for something. I think I hold it a little bit against him that his TV cronies have been openly pimping for him for a few years now, whether that's fair or not.
    Jason Taylor was good, but not HOF great IMO.
    **** Jerry Jones.
    Still no Steve Tasker, Jerry Kramer, Alex Karras, Jim Marshall or LC Greenwood.

    Jason Taylor.......Bwahahahahahahahahahaha. Even Terrell Davis didn't have the body of work it should take to get in the HOF. It takes Kevin Greene 12 ****ing years to get in and he was only behind Smith an White on the sacks list and Jason Taylor gets in quick? Political BS, Dan LebaTARD must have sucked a lot of **** to get him through.

    Even the HOF has become a joke just like the rest of the NFL. I'm glad I no longer participate. It was hard being a fan for 50 plus years and then walking away. Too bad, Goodell and the NFL turned a once great game into a ****show that is unwatchable.

    Jason Taylor a HOFer? WTH? I never thought of him as a game changer. Good player sure. HOF no way!

    Jerry Jones? WTF has he done?

    He's taken football away from the average fan and made it into the money making machine it is today. To everyone that makes money off the NFL he's a GOD. To everyone else he's Satan.

    Yeah, I don't know. Tomlinson, Warner, Anderson and Easley I'm great with. They were all exceptional in the sport, imho. Jimmie Jones (who I don't like) accounted for Jurrah's titles, Jurrah done built a fine stadium, that's not HOF material with a ready made national market in a thriving city that always loved the Cowboys anyway.

    Davis ? There are something like 34 rb's ahead of him in yards and longevity who aren't in the hall of fame (Davis is 55th), including Ricky Watters, Corey Dillon, Warrick Dunn, Gerald Riggs and McGahee who will never get there, so I don't get it though I saw him play.

    Surprised Boselli gets passed over. He was as dominant an OT as I've ever seen.

    Another thing concerning Terrell Davis. The Broncos are under represented in the Hall, so the NFL wants remedy that. Fine, Randy Gradishar was a great player, so was Dennis Smith (safety) put them in. But wait, Davis now works for NFL Network. The home of HOF commentators. Kinda funny that both Warner (who I think is deserved) and Davis go in together. Next year, they may even get their own show.

    Man I loved watching Randy Gradishar play LB.

    What about Marlin Briscoe? Played for a few teams, but who did he retire as?

    Fred Smerlas should be in long before Jsaon Taylor
    The NFL forgot the main component of any business model, the customer.

    How the **** does Terrell Davis get in at all and TO doesn't?

    The guy basically had 2 good years and 1 great year.

    He does not belong.
