Re: 2023 Hall of Very Good Finalists

I think 10 nominations per member would be better than 5 If there had been 10 this year, I bet I'd have gone 0-10 :). (As it was I kind of went 0-5 since someone beat me to the punch on Christensen.). The main thing is the finalist list of 20, so I'm thinking just adding more players to be filtered...

Re: 2023 Hall of Very Good Finalists

Ha, ha, I know - I still have to weigh him against who's left out there though. I'm not sure what you mean by "out there". To me what is relevant is who else is on the ballot, not who else is in the football ether. You knew what I meant - you just didn't agree :). Maybe not logical, but t...

Re: 2023 Hall of Very Good Finalists

Peggy Parratt was a player and (while I've never seen film on him) was a supposedly excellent one. He played on at least four teams that won (or were tied for) the Ohio League Championship against such pre-NFL powerhouses as Massillon and Canton. I know he was a player, just saying I'm not sure whe...

Re: 2023 Hall of Very Good Finalists

Parratt actually hasn't gotten my vote yet and may not this year. Admittedly, as I work my way from 1890 to 1920, I'm only on 1906 so it's possible Parratt wows me later. My feeling from my superficial research on his contemporaries is that Homer Davidson is the player who stands out, but I'll updat...

Re: 2023 Hall of Very Good Finalists

I still want to know what about him or any other 1950s end is more or less "tight" than the rest. Nothing. I think this is an incorrect argument. Maybe blame the Steelers. I think they put him in their ring of honor as a tight end. The author of the "The Golden Age of Pro Football&qu...
