I've met your friend Jason...and I wouldn't shake his hand either.

You haven't met him you liar!

You haven't met him you liar!

So Jason wasn't the guy who told that exact same story at the tailgate party before the Illinois game?

The only thing I lied about was that I did shake that guy's hand.

You're right I forgot about that.

Brett Favre isn't eligible yet, he just retired...it is a 5 year waiting period.

 

[Bucklion]

And Larry Allen was the best guard of his generation probably...if any OL gets in first ballot, it will likely be him.

 

[Bucklion]

Semifinalist list has been released...Carter is on the list again. Lots of intriguing defensive players and lineman this year.

This year's finalists announced...include Cris Carter again and everyone's favorite owner.

 

[Bucky32]

Carter should already be in. Outside of that, Ogden, Greene, Modell, Sapp, Allen, and Strahan will probably make it.

OTOH, sad to see Ray Guy and Morten Andersen didn't even make the cut. They deserve to be in.

In all seriousness, that many can't make it...only 5 modern era guys per year. I will go with Ogden, Strahan, Haley, Bettis...and either a WR or Allen or that guy you talked about, depending on what Grossi has on the voters...

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Carter should already be in. Outside of that, Ogden, Greene, Modell, Sapp, Allen, and Strahan will probably make it.

If Carter doesn't get elected they should just quit nomiating him every fucking year only to snub him. Clearly one of the top five WRs of all-time and yet he can't get in...
