OK, so usually I don’t talk about anything to do with the NFL, but this will be a rare exception.
A friend told me today, that someone who I think is long overdue to get into the HOF (Wilber Marshall), is on the list of nominees that was released today.
That’s great, but I have zero faith in the selection process & committee, so am not getting my hopes up for Mr. Marshall.
Some of the names on the list of nominees are amongst the most outrageous I have ever seen. The entire list of quarterbacks is ridiculous, most notably Jake Delhomme and Jeff Hostetler. The other 5 aren’t much better (R.Cunningham, D.Krieg, J.Garcia, D.McNabb & B.Esiason).
If the person who nominated Delhomme has a vote, that’s a scary thought. I really wonder if there is more than 1 person on the planet that thinks just maybe he is a HOF’er.
The HOF is becoming more of a joke as time goes on, and the fact that they are going to have an expanded class this year, makes it all the more likely of some real doozy’s being part of the 2020 class...

FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those first two are horrible. I would have to look at McNabb and Cunningham, but yeah, that's a lame line up.

One nominee was very near and dear to all of us: Lo Neal!! I don’t think that he’ll get in due to the position he played, but very deserving.
Merriman recounts his first meetup with Lo back in August 2005:

Coryell deserves it more than any Charger eligible right now IMHO.

Coryell deserves it more than any Charger eligible right now IMHO. He sure deserves it more than any on the list Chopper provided.

Coryell deserves it more than any Charger eligible right now IMHO. He may finally get in this year with the 100rh anniversary class being 20 in size.

Steve McMichael is more deserving than his teammate Wilbur Marshall imo.
