Hall of Fame Finalists-Four Ex-Rams Included

[Retroram52]

The 2015 NFL HOF class will be announced tomorrow, January 31, 2015. Three stellar Ex-Rams make the list: Kevin Greene, Kurt Warner, and Orlando Pace. Should be interesting to see if one or maybe all three make it in. They are obviously deserving and it would be fitting if all three made it in on a week-end when Belicheat is playing in another Superbowl he cheated along the way.

Commercial on ESPN for the announcement shows Warner (and Bettis, whom you missed on your ex-Rams list), along with Marvin Harrison. Foreshadowing?

 

[Retroram52]

I didn't see Bettis on the finalist list from ESPN Shopson. Perhaps they missed him as well.

Green is a little before my time/to young to really remember but I loved watching Pace and Kurt

 

[shopson67]

We both missed former Ram Kevin Greene as well, lol.

......it sure pays to be on the NFL/NWRK if you're Warner and Terral Davis = they should wait just as long as Haley has......!

 

[Retroram52]

You might of missed Kevin Greene Shopson, but I didn't. He's right there in the OP. Apparently ESPN missed Bettis according to NFL.com's list.

Bill Polian got fired because he sucked at drafting. Why is he on this list?

Didn't he draft Manning and left when the Colts went with Luck?? could be wrong, just what I thought

.....he was supposedly the "architect" behind the 4-SB's the Bills went to.........prior to going to the Colts.

....*polian was fired from the colts after their disastrous "suck for luck" 2-14/season...!

He drafted Manning and then a bunch of duds which is why the team was the worst in the league when Manning went down

By comparison, Brady and Aaron Rodgers have both gone down and their teams have had enough to make playoff pushes

Right you are! Apparently, I missed Greene twice lol.

.....he was supposedly the "architect" behind the 4-SB's the Bills went to.........prior to going to the Colts.

Absolutely, his main claim to fame IMO...

 

[Clayton]

Absolutely, his main claim to fame IMO...

Oh, I agree. He had a HOF career up to a point and then he fell off a cliff. Its really hard to watch him on ESPN. For player comparisons on Clowney last year, he compared him to Bruce Smith which is a failure on multiple levels.

Die a hero or live long enough to be a villain, I guess

Good to see Kurt Warner getting a lot of support

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I agree Clayton.

 

[shopson67]

Tough to evaluate that Bruce comparison, given that Clowney barely saw the field with his myriad of injuries.
