I don't want to offend Cowboys fans here, but 30 years of complaining was all it took for Drew Pearson's dreams to come true.


This also isn't me being an embittered Vikings fan over a play that happened a decade before I was born. I don't think Jared Allen should have gotten in either and he didn't (although he probably will).

but it wasn't 30 years of complaining. His complaining started when he & Cliff Harris were the only two first team all decade players not in the Hall.
Drew in the hall rights a wrong. Skinny free agent QB from Tulsa when drafts were 17 rounds is an accomplishment regardless of the uniform he wore.

Damn, Megatron was good. Played negative 3 years and still got in first ballot. Just kidding, I know you meant 2007 @VikingFan2k2 . Anyway, I can't really find fault with anyobe on the list. Woodson, Manning were no brainer first ballot. I figured Johnson too butbwas unsure on the voters given his short career. But Terrell Davis set a precedent there. Faneca was due and Lynch, I'm okay with. Big hitters in dominant defenses often get the nod. He benefitted from a lot of great players around him but he hit like a truck.

It was a copy paste from that link. I should have proofread it, so that's on me.

I'm OK with Lynch because Atwater is in, but I think you have to put Leroy Butler in now as well.

Solid group for sure.
