The finalists will consist of 15 Modern-Era finalists, the recently named Senior Finalists, Robert Brazile and Jerry Kramer, and the Contributor Finalist, Bobby Beathard.

The Selection Committee will meet on Saturday, Feb. 3, 2018 in Minneapolis, Minn. to elect the Class of 2018. While there is no set number for any class of enshrinees, the selection process by-laws provide that between four and eight new members will be selected.[/U]

its the wrong steve smith

the nfl just doesnt want to admit a mistake because they never, ever do. i will again defer to SI.com:

That means the player who was nominated was… the other Steve Smith. The Steve Smith who retired after playing six seasons in the NFL with the Giants, Eagles and Rams. The Steve Smith who had modest career totals of 2,641 yards and 12 touchdowns. That Steve Smith.

He did have a Pro Bowl appearance in 2009 and Super Bowl ring from 2008 to show for his efforts, but those credentials aren’t nearly enough for him to be enshrined in Canton, Ohio.

Nearly every other wide receiver nominee—there were 12 besides Smith—surpassed those marks in a two-year stretch over their careers. Even the “ice up, son” Steve Smith matched the other Smith’s 12 career touchdowns in just a single season back in 2005.

I don't care how you look at it, but the fact "A" Steve Smith has been nominated thus years is a joke.
One simply isn't eligible and the other doesn't even have the stats to be considered a HOF player.

its a joke because its the wrong guy. they fucked up and put steve smith (who retired last year) because they saw a "steve smith" eligible, even tho has NO business on this list.

The Pro Football Hall Of Fame nominated the right guy.

The NFL posted a picture of the wrong guy.

They are two separate entities.

See how this works?

All of you idiots just read headlines. Clickbait for agenda driven media outlets and a notorious corrupt organization. Try educating yourselves for once.

So you ask for a link to something other than the Giants website or Pinterest. I show you the link that the Pro Football HOF uses to redirect fans on where to vote, so it's the official voting place, and you still bitch?

I'll have this conversation with you because Rock is a fucking idiot.

The link you provided was to the NFL website. The NFL posted a picture of THE WRONG STEVE SMITH. The link I provided was to the Pro Football Fall of Fame site. It is where they make it abundantly clear that "any individual who last played or coached in 2012 are eligible for the first time in 2018"

The Pro Football HoF nominated the right Steve Smith. The NFL site identified the wrong one. Therefore, the headline of the Deadspin article is wrong as well as the SI article and any other article claiming the wrong Steve Smith was nominated. I really don't understand what's so hard to wrap your head around on this.

1. If you read both articles, you will see that both of those websites understand that Steve Smith (the Giants one) was nominated. Both websites incorrectly believed that to be a mistake.

2. I didn't dispute any of that, but you claiming that it was just the Giants website or pinterest that showed the Ravens Steve Smith, was wrong.

3. You asked for a link to something other than those two websites, and I provided it. It is the same link that the Pro Football HOF is using to redirect people to vote. It's the official voting spot.

Got it, but IMO its a joke either way. Neither are eligible for the HOF today as far as I'm concerned.
