As i said yesterday, i dont think they are intentionally biased, but they are biased due to the fact they just never saw DT play enough outside of the "big games"

I also do beleive Irvin definately deserves to be there. He was a key part of that team and always made big plays and 1st downs when it mattered most. Just like DT, if you cant see that Irvin is deserving, your just clueless.....

I'm not so sure I agree with all of this...

First off, Troy Aikman, a great offensive line, and Emmit Smith made Michael Irvin better (not the other way around).

DT made:

Neil Smith a pro-bowler
Dale Carter a pro-bowler
James Hasty a pro-bowler

etc etc.

The point I'm making is that DT made everyone else around him better....the same cannot be said for Irvin....if Michael Irvin's numbers were amassed entirely as a member of the Arizona Cardinals....Irvin doesnt work for ESPN....and Irvin doesnt make the HOF.

You could debate "what ifs" for weeks on end.......

Sometimes i think people do too much of this to be honest..

Irvin, DT's and Monks stats speak for themselves. The voters are either over-analyzing or they really are clueless or misinformed.

But he's in. According to some, DT never will because he didn't play in a SB or in a "big" market.

Dr Z is a worthless old c#cksmoker-someone should put that old dog out of our misery.

oh, I agree with you... I still think that, given an off year and probably 30 years in the future, guys like TD and priest will make it (if the veteran's committee is still alive and kicking)... the travesty with DT's possible enshrinement is he should have been a first or second ballot guy, not an also-ran who hardly nobody remembers (roger wierhli) that took forever to get into the hall

That is a good article by JoPo.

And I too am not so sure how I feel about a group of sportswriters voting, and more importantly, controlling who is elected into the Hall and who is not.

It should be a combo. DT needs to get in soon...
