Time for FMT to finally pay off his bet.
I mean, we've all known the NFL is an absolute TV ratings juggernaut, but it still amazes me to see those sort of numbers. As a long time Hockey fan, I guess I'm just not use to the idea of such massive tv ratings. It also certainly helps that it's the one game do-or-die format.
I had a nightmare last night that the Niners won the SB =( I did not sleep well after waking up from that =(

Also Hines Ward doesn't deserve the HoF. Hall of Pretty Damn Good, sure. But alongside Jerry Rice and shit? Nah.
Ricky Williams deserves it even less than him. Not sure how he is even on that list of eligibles. Was the guy that compiled it a Longhorns fan or something?

Yeah, he was more or less a bust. I mean, he was famous for dropping out of the NFL to smoke pot full time, only to come back when the creditors got on his ass, but I don't think that's the fame the hall is about.
He should get in just because he was a slow former qb! Who would predict he'd turn that into a 1000 catch, 12000 yard career ! But yeah if guys like Andre Reed and Tim Brown and Chris Carter have trouble getting in he wont sadly or really not that soon.
This is off point but look how many WRs that were on the prelim that had tons of stats. Its going to be interesting what they define a HOF worthy WR in this era
*Tim Brown
Mark Clayton
Gary Clark
Henry Ellard
Keyshawn Johnson
Keenan McCardell
*Andre Reed
Sterling Sharpe
Jimmy Smith
Rod Smith
His wife blowing someone after Isaac Bruce makes the Hall.
1st ballot was it not, which given the state of how WR are treated is impossible
FMT is buying a video camera and vaseline in preparation.
Nobody said anything about scat.
ha! as if he doesnt have 12 cams and this sitting in his garage

I said this in the baseball thread but I think it applies to all hall of fames. You should only have one vote every five years. You only get to vote for one person. That person needs a majority. That would make the Hall of Fames special again.
Also, since they are so fucking bloated with trash like Jim Rice and Joe Namath, every year there is a vote to vote people out. You get to vote for 5 guys but they need 66% to get booted. Fuck you Broadway Schmuck.

NFL isn't anywhere as bad as the MLB when it comes to "Hall of Very Good," though. It's basically Namath.
lol, that'd be amazing. so my tears though
Prediction time. I don't pick Pats games but will say I don't see them having any advantage except for that it's at home. If both teams play well they are basically equal. Flip a coin.
Denver - Likely an easily win. Their A game is considerably better than the Chargers. The last meeting was also a thursday game in which teams generally have played like poop all year.
SF - I think they are the 2nd best team..only reason not 1 is because they did not get homefield thoughout. They win a close game.
Hawks - Their home. Saints on the road again. Can't pick the Saints.

MLB is the worst. Its hits leader and HR leader aren't in the hall.
Then it won't be a problem, no one will get voted out. Thing is though we're coming up on an era of nominees like Kurt Warner, the billion receivers, Jason Taylor, LdT etc. who were good players in their day but not legit all time greats.
My ideal Hall of Fame would be 22 players (one at each position), a kicker, a punter, a coach and an executive that was up for vote once every 5 years. If you are't the greatest who ever played the position, go fuck off and fade like the rest of the losers.
Yet.
But I dont really care if it does, its just a big circle jerk anyways for the writers. If you sucked the medias dick you're treated better in HOF voting. Just a bunch of olds who want power and desk jockey nerds who were male cheerleaders in HS and never got to be football star and fuck the prom queen.

No way does TO get in ever.
Oh, shit. I forgot how furious I was going to be when Kurt Warner comes up for consideration.

22 guys? Sounds like a great field trip.
He was an asshole, but his numbers are definitely HoF worthy. No. 2 all-time in receiving yards, no. 6 in receptions, no. 3 in receiving TDs, no. 5 in overall TDs.
So you are saying even based on raw stats a bunch of guys were better than him.

First ballot brah. Ain't happening!
Well, yeah. If we are following your HoF plan than Jerry Rice would be the HoF WR and there wouldn't be any more discussion. But that's not how it works.
All the people above him and some of the people below him in the all-time stat categories are Hall of Famers or future Hall of Famers. So I don't see how he won't get in.

Well, like 3 people. And they're already in.
It's not the Hall of Gee Willikers, This Guy Was Super Nice, either.
Andre Reed might have to wait to the vet committee recommendation , like Ray Guy. I mean shit if he doesnt get in this year, it'll be his 8th straight final 15 and not get in. In retrospect Chris Carter took 6 final 15 to get in, Ray Guy was on 7 different final 15 off and on. Who else has appeared on a lot of final 15 and not gotten in?
Was it if he was a 1st ballot, or if he wasn't a 1st ballot?
All I remember is someone's blowing someone.

I bolded the guaranteed first year HOF'ers. I don't think Hines Ward, Donald Driver, Clinton Portis, McNabb, or Edgerrin James will ever make the cut. Torry Holt and Issac Bruce will probably be senior candidate HOF selections.
The NFL Hall of Fame has historically been very unkind to receivers.
2 receivers is all that should be in.

You know he's getting in despite his time with the Giants.
Just like Brees will get in even though he wants everyone to forget he was a Charger!
I bring it up every time one of these Saints fans try to tell me he's the best QB in the league. You can't erase San Diego!
(I credit eznark for first making this argument several years back on this board)

Yeah. With such amazing QBs like Jeff Garcia, Tony Romo, Carson Palmer and Ryan Fitzpatrick, it was clearly all the QB.
TO is near Jerry Rice levels.
Honestly, one could make a case that TO should be that 2nd receiver
I think the megatron part was the joke give away. At least I hope he is otherwise he should choke on his next crab because Megatron should be 1st ballot on the basis of how many terrible garbage passes he has to deal with on a game to game basis by that pudgy dough boy. It would be interesting to see just how terrible Stafford would be if megatron wasnt there.
If one was a fucking retard, sure.
I dont know why you're letting Eznark suck you into his batshit insane theories. Also Randy Moss.

But it's irrelevant because only having one person from each position is pants on head stupid. The game has been going on for decades and rule changes mean stats are going to always be getting better for modern players. It wouldn't be a hall of fame, it'd be a hall of the recently retired. Fuck that.
And to highlight, which QB gets in?

Far more likely that there would be more dead guys than living guys at like all times (at least in baseball, football is too young but you get the idea)
Montana or Unitas. Maybe YA? Don't know how I would go, but it's far more interesting than "he threw for XX so he is in! EVERYONE IS IN!!!"
Randy Moss has less yards, less receptions and only 3 more TDs.

How are you picking them then? The person who defined his era? Or the guy who came after and obliterated everything that was done at that position?
Nah, this is the most insane idea since everything FMT has thought in his life.
Same way they pick them now. Opinions and bullshit.

It's a close one, but Moss played for the Pats, so Owens wins by default.
I hate Eagles and Patriots pretty closely though.
