Re: TOp 5 pre-HOF (1963 it opened) players not in HOF
It's unfortunate that in his Talk of Fame Network interview, John presented this as a "PFRA poll" or "PFRA vote" given that many of the people who post here, including regulars, don't belong to the PFRA. In addition, the PFRA has about 500 members. To me, it's beyond silly to pre...

Re: AFL Players' HOF Worthiness
I don't think the reason the HOF electors have not elected Tyrer is because of his tragic death. It's because he murdered his wife.

Re: TOp 5 pre-HOF (1963 it opened) players not in HOF
Ken, it's disappointing you mention some vague thing about the length of Barwegan's career and donate a whole paragraph to it without so much as mentioning the significant impact his time in the military had, the result of which was that he didn't play his first pro game until he was 25 years and 9 ...

Re: Congrats to the HOF Class of 2022
Hey DukeMoron, great hearing from you again. Maybe you should learn to read. I specifically addressed the all-pro point and mentioned that Smith was named more times. I additionally pointed out that he was also all-conference more times than Boselli. If I'm typing too fast for you to keep up, don't ...

Re: Congrats to the HOF Class of 2022
Probably that Smith wasn't that good when Schlereth did or didn't play against him in three regular season games/two regular season games/one regular season game/first quarter of a preseason game/sat in on game planning meetings.

Re: Bryant Young HoF
Are you seriously denying there's a massive gulf between the experts of 2022 and the experts who evaluated Young at the time he was actually playing? It's all there in black and white in the historical record: Sporting News all-pro team selected by insider experts: Young was first team all-pro exact...

Re: Congrats to the HOF Class of 2022
We’ve had numerous discussions here about the all-decade teams that you apparently missed where it was pointed out by many that, because a lot of players picked to all-decade were mistakes including some that are quite farcical, the all-decade teams are highly suspect. More on point, it’s ludicrous ...

Re: Bryant Young HoF
Well, John, your reply notwithstanding, the massive gulf between the experts of today and those who actually evaluated Young when he was playing remains. If I have to choose between what Paul Zimmerman said at the time Young was actually playing and Mark Schlereth, who apparently lied about having e...

It would be a crying shame if Lewellen or Emerson gets in and Barwegan doesn't.
