I would have thought Don Coryell was already in.

Steve McNair probably shouldn't get in, but Id like to see it. He was great. LT, Jason Tayloe, and TO should be no doubters, but TO might have trouble getting in.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

for sure: warner, moose, hines, faneca, kreutz, mills, zach thomas, brian dawkins, john lynch, charles woodson, morten

i think they put in 5. troy vincent should get in some time.

I don't know. He was better at catching bullets than he was throwing them.

I anticipate an epic pissing match between Bernstein and DiCaro as to who can be the most against Darren Sharper. There's some A+ troll material.

these mcnair jokes make me want to blow my brains out.

Tom Flores should be in.

So should this guy:

watching that reminded me...there should've been a sequel to "Meteor".

Don't understand why they would even put him on the list. I don't care if he qualifies. Unnecessary poor publicity. I can't imagine that anyone would cast a vote for him at this point.

I think it was called Sharknado.

not even in the same league.

Tough to come up with a worthy sequel without Stacy Keach.

Warner and Atwater

Would Randall Cunningham get hurt by not having enough years to put in, he was at the top for awhile.

Same with Shaun Alexander.
