Canton Mike Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 IMHO, a kicker making the final 15 ahead of Clay Matthews Jr is a travesty & an indictment of the process. Were the selection committee HOF Players & Coaches, he would probably already be in & Jerry Sherk would be in or knocking at the door. I get mad every year about this...SCREW the media!

Anyway, yeah Morten Anderson deserves to be in, along with the others I highlighted. TO was a heck of a player, but he was also a me-me guy and disruptive to team chemistry, so I say no to him.

Morten Andersen. Kickers don't get much love, but that guy was as good as they get, for a long time. Let's go Joe Jacoby. The Hogs are legend. Time for one to get the nod. I think the Senior and Contributor are seperate. Easley, yes, Tags and Jerry, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for one to get the nod. Russ Grimm from the Hogs is already in. Sorry, but another travesty is the fact that Dick Shafrath is not in. I think the Senior and Contributor are seperate. Easley, yes, Tags and Jerry, no. Yea, why in the fuck is Jerry Jones even being considered. The only thing that I can tell that he has brought to the NFL is a greedy attitude.

The Gipper Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Sorry Gip. Clay- 1978-1996. Steelers 2 SB wins and only 4 losing seasons in that time frame. I said "MOST" of that time, they were mediocre. They won when Clay was in his first and second years. And while they may have not had losing seasons, they lingered around .500.

gumby73 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 no bust needed for Jerry Jones. Just sit him at the door like a Walmart door greeter..pull his string & "How bout MY CowBoys"..Congrats LT..a badass little man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's his contribution- $$$$$$$. How 'bout those billion dollar stadiums and $9 beers? Screw that shit. I've said for a long time there should be a separate wing for owners- just like the Baseball HOF has a wing for contributors and writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said for a long time there should be a separate wing for owners- just like the Baseball HOF has a wing for contributors and writers. Right. Really. What besides greed and money has he really contributed to the game? (and FYI Larry....he was put in under the "Contributor" category....and how did he get put in over Tagliabue?) I would have thought that the sports writers who did the voting on this would be more discerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
