What did Virginia McCaskey do that was notable to get that one vote? Is this solely on being the daughter of George Halas? Be the only person alive during the first 100 years of the NFL?

I have a question for you all...who do you feel is the most underrated name from the Steelers Championship era? Also, regarding former Steelers PR director Joe Gordon...I am happy to hear about him being awarded the Level of Excellence Award...I know this isn't particularly NFL-related...but I am tr...

Of the six slots that are vacant in the modern-era this year in the semifinalists (the five made vacant by the 2021 Class, and the one by Clay Matthews, who transferred to the senior abyss)...who would you like to see occupy those six vacant slots? First-Year nominees: DeMarcus Ware Robert Mathis St...

This does not bode well for George Kunz and LC Greenwood, the two seniors who made the Top 12 short list last year who did not make the Top 16 this year...

Kunz was fifth on the list last year, now he didn't make it at all...

Some questions that race through my mind... 1. Did I hear correctly that the 1st runner-up was Klecko? 2.

Well, I would HOPE they begin adding two seniors again in 2025...

I agree...it will take some time before Hester becomes a semifinalist...if it happens...though I'd say there could very well be a better chance of it happening than with kick returners in the past... If Guy can get in via the senior nomination, I don't see it fully out of the question Hester and Lec...

Are James Lofton, Dan Fouts, and Tony Dungy the players on the senior selection committee this year? That is what the Hall voters page says, but it doesn't say they are on the Seniors committee. I wonder if they may choose Coryell over Parker, if Fouts is there. Brian, is there any rumors within vot...
