why isn't lebeau listed as a coordinator?

[Rain Man]

Oddly, they're considering him as a player, so they don't count any non-playing experience. I guess you go in as a player or as a contributor, but they don't combine. They were just talking about that on NFL Network.

hell, he had 62 career INT's and three defensive touchdowns. if he gets in just as a player, can we get johnny robinson into the hall? five less INT's, but fifteen more touchdowns and more impressive stats otherwise.

[KurtCobain]

I don't think Rice or Smith will ever get in.

[Rain Man]

Okay, they just announced the ten modern-era finalists, but the morons won't review which five are out. Bad, bad coverage. They just talked about Haley being out, since he was a Cowboy. Not sure who the other four rejects are yet.

Stupid, stupid coverage so far.

I feel the same way about Peyton Manning, Marshal Faulk, and Brett Favre.

[Rain Man]

Stop talking about Rice and Emmitt, you morons! Who are the five who are out?

[Rain Man]

Tim Brown is out in the first round. Not a surprise to me. He wasn't a game-breaker.

[Rain Man]

Three more out in the first round. Can you make the rapist stop talking for a minute and read us the other three?

[Rain Man]

Cris Carter, Don Coryell, and Roger Craig were out in the first round.

They must hate Cris Carter.

[big nasty kcnut]

Yes no thannon tharpes.

[Rain Man]

Grimm, Jackson, Randle, Rice, and Smith are the five finalists.


Go to hell, Shannon Sharpe. Everybody hates you.
