That era would have been long ago, Halas, Lombardi, Allen, Saban, Shula, Noll, Ditka being one of the last of that era. He would have not have lasted long with any if these guys and many more. Nope, not the dinosaur era, for sure, but also not the "player's coach" style predominant today. While there are still a few "old school" types around (Belichick, Marrone, McCarthy, maybe Tomlin), there are a lot more Doug Pederson types who let the players be more individualistic. Is TO any more of a locker room diva than Beckham, Bryant or Marshall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Great player, belongs in the Hall, sad there are no hi-lites of winnning anything for future fans to appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Induction is now over. Let's hope it's the last we have to hear from this child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly, Smith, Thomas, Reed, and Levy all agree. If only it were the Hall of League Champions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Will Anthem Kneelers be black-balled, or will that move them up in rank to join the HOF in the future? Asking for a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The NFL HOF has shown itself to be very political. Just ask Florio. He says so in the Twitter you quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: This is sad. That place is a joke. The fact that they would resort to this highlights that they don't understand what a Hall of Fame is for (hint: it's not for a nationally televised TV ceremony once a year). If they wanted to avoid such embarrassment in the future, they would be much more wise get an "advance commitment" that voters will honor their privilege and simply vote on the names before them for a player who they think, based on his play alone, belongs in the Hall of Fame. "Making them wait" is fine if you think they don't belong this year because better candidates are on the ballot. "Making them wait" because you don't like them, despite their obviously worthy credentials at the time they are first nominated, is far more childish than any of TOs antics.

kota Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I think he should have attended regardless but i do agree with him on the reporters being the voters. I think this is wrong. The people that vote should be former coaches, front office people who didn't have these players on their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
