Cris Carter and Cortez Kennedy. That's all that matters to me for this year.

 

[dmbrhs]

Cortez Kennedy needs to be in the hall. He was a monster.

 

[651akathepaul]

[651akathepaul]

   I mean I know he wasn't a media darling but this is getting ridiculous.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Tim Brown & Cris Carter should of made it

 

[hankmoody]

Just found about this and the honors show. Whoever came up with these ideas is very savvy. This is how all sports should do it. Big events. Not lame press announcements.

NASCAR and NHL have been doing this for a long while.

 

[dmxfury]

Great to see Dawson get in, a true beast at the center spot. Need to get Carter in there and then Brown and Bettis on the offensive side

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Curtis Martin though?

Yes he was but ahead all the WRs up for the hall?

 

[651akathepaul]

Well, at least they got it right with Cortez.

 

[elpablo21]

Congrats to Cortez

 

[Truth]

They're doing my dude Cris Carter dirty. Let him in!!!

 

[wraith aka invincible]

i thought caarter was in this year

 

[swooshallday]

I don't like the Hall of Fame procedure for pro sports...some guys on the list should be in the Hall of Fame already. Is there a limit in a year? So these prestige awards is in integrity? It's ridiculous if a certain person have to wait for years until there is a weak year of competition to be inducted. I understand that not everybody is worthy of 1st ballot Hall of Fame, but if a person has to wait over five years it's too long.

 

[651akathepaul]

Vikings have quite the defensive front in the HOF now. I wonder which team has the most.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

no chris carter!?

no parcells!?
