Thanks...this is kind of fun, but difficult for teams with a lot of history of winning.

Want a challenge? Try doing the Bengals, beyond Anthony Munoz and Ken Anderson, I am stumped.


Carl Pickens was good, Collinsworth was terrific...but they didnt play that long really. Corey Dillon maybe? Tim Krumrie? Its hard.

Agree with all those...Randle was a monster as well. great player...hell all of the nominated were great players.

Lebeau is a slam dunk....not just for his coaching career either.

Most seem to think Rice, Smith and Brown are all sure fire first ballot HOFers...but I tend to think that other than Rice, you can make arguments that Brown and Smith could wait.

Wouldn't Paul Brown be on that list, since he pretty much built them in the AFL days.

Those are the exact 4 choices I would make. There are a couple others from the AFL days you could loosely argue for, but I like having DT because he was the man when they had a really good run through the 90's.

I know Smith kind of stuck around a lot longer than he should've, but I still don't think you keep the all-time leading rusher out of the Hall, especially when he has three rings.

EDIT: And I think the only thing that keeps Brown out is the lack of a ring. Dude was dominant in his prime.

Yeah, I know...it is tough to argue with that. Let's just say that I don't consider him the greatest RB of all time. I'm not even sure he's in my top 5.

That said, he's obviously a HOFer....and probably does deserve to go in this year.

Oh, I absolutely agree. I don't even think he's the undisputed best Cowboys RB of all time.

Boomer
Icky Woods on dancing skills alone

James Brooks?

And no Eric Dickerson on the Rams Mt Rushmore? That's just crazy talk!

As expected Manning named NFL MVP...and the voting wasnt even close.

Quote:
The Indianapolis Colts' sensational quarterback romped to the award Saturday in balloting by 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. He got 39½ votes to 7½ for Drew Brees as only quarterbacks received any backing.

The other votes went to San Diego's Philip Rivers with two, and Minnesota's Brett Favre with one

Im not so sure that the FB program at SC feels much of anything from the NCAA...the BB team is in a world of trouble though.

7 mil a year is a 2.5 raise for him...so i would start and stop at that point.
