HOF Classes: 2007, 2008 (official thread)
The new class is:
Thurman Thomas, Charley Sanders, Gene Hickerson, Roger Wehrli, Bruce Matthews, and Mr. Self-promotion himself, Michael Irvin. Perhpas the biggest 2 shocks were Wehrli making it, and Tagliabue not even making the first cutdown.

Irvin deserves it despite being a prick. Of course, the clueless fan will argue ad nauseum about Art Monk being bypassed, even though Art Monk was never one of the great players in any one year. The Palmeiro of hte NFL.

Pro Bowl three years (1984, 1985, 1986), and All Pro two years (1984, 1985). Led the NFL in receptions in 1984, was 2nd in 1985, and 3rd in 1989. Next...

Rudi Johnson is a pro-bowler. Is he a great player?
who cares about receptions? Why didn't you mention yards? Because he never lead the lead in the most important category..
If Chad Johnson retired today, he'd have as many all-pro years and pro-bowl years as Art Monk. is he a HOF right now?
You are right though. I should have worded my original post better. He was a 'great' player for at least 2 years. |

My favorite was the clueless dip[censored] on the NFL network that said that Irvin "Was the heart and soul of Dallas"...uh, er, OK, I guess Emmitt and Aikman were just background accessories....dumbass. Irvin is a HOF worthy player, but he was not even the 2nd best player on Dallas' offense.

The same logic applies to Terrell Davis, who should never get into the HOF, but probably will anyway.
