Interesting. Don't see that happening. But people do like "their guys".
He will do everything he can to make it happen for "his guy."
It seems like nowadays that is the only way players get in the PFHOF.

Re: 2024 Hall of Very Good Nominations

"Regarding those already in a Hall of Fame: We'll also have to discuss whether Flutie or anyone else who is in the Canadian HOF is eligible (in Flutie's case, when his 25 years is up). I would think such a person is not eligible for the HOVG. As the (a) Hall of Fame is greater than the Hall of...

I would pick him over Antwine, who is on the ballot.

Brooks had great sack totals. But are people burned out on Rams defensive line?
Antwine was inducted to the HOVG last year in 2023.

Re: Purdy's draft position

Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl

The Detroit Lions, finally making their first-ever SB appearance, vs the Chiefs, looking to be the first to win 3 straight SB. Might not even need a romance angle. I still find it odd that only ...

Re: JOE NAMATH vs LEN DAWSON

Dawson definitely had a stronger defense behind him. Six of KC's players were inducted to the Hall of Fame: Buck Buchannon, Emmitt Thomas, Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Curly Culp, Johnny Robinson.
