I totally missed ib my guesses this year, in past years did pretty well

but Art McNally seems like the guy---

But, don't count out Kraft

I think it will be Kraft ... the fox owners treat the HOF like a henhouse but I would be happy with Vainisi, Kotal or Kilroy.
Kilroy getting elected would also represent super senior players who the senior committee is avoiding like a virus.

won't be Kilroy

Any chance for John Wooten?

Headed the Fritz Pollard Alliance for a long time. Namesake for the Nunn-Wooten Scholarship, helped create the Rooney Rule. Worked for the Cowboys front office when they were Super Bowl champs and the Ravens when they won a SB.

Was a pretty good blocker for Jim Brown also....kind of seems like an obvious inductee to me, but I hardly, if ever, hear him get mentioned.

Yes, Wooten has a chance, he's a finalist---how much? Don't know... but my guess is McNally but have been way off this year
but Wooten a possibility

I agree that it will either be Kraft or McNally. My preference is McNally, so that means it will be Kraft this year.

that's when cynical thinking just becomes rational thinking.

I could be wrong but I think the whole contributor category was created to get current owners in on an easier path
than Hunt, Wilson, Davis, etc.

They sat on the HOF boards, NFL steering committees that involve HOF funding, sent lots of $$$ to Canton, and this category
is their reward. Look at who the guys were--Bowlen, Jones, Debartolo, Kraft. Benson had a lot, but he's someone who won't
be able to buy his way in....like the recent others, in my OPINION, did
