Peter King SI, A couple of nuggets about DT and the Hall.... - Page 5

Taken out of his MMQB column...after he slurps all over Mannings nuts of course.....LOL

12. Kansas City (9-8). Derrick Thomas has a tough road to Canton, I believe. His presenter, Bob Gretz, does a terrific job stating Thomas' case, but my feeling is that more than a few people in the room think he was a one-dimensional player.

4. I think there was a lot of good, and some bad, in Saturday's Hall of Fame elections in Miami Beach. First, there were 17 men up for election, and, as one of 40 selectors, I favored 14 for entry. The only ones I did not support were Ray Guy (not a singular punter in my opinion, despite his legend), Derrick Thomas (too one-dimensional for my tastes), and Andre Reed (a good player who benefited from a great offense with a great triggerman in Jim Kelly).

This pisses me off. I honestly dont think an "East Coast" guy like King really saw enough of DT play to make a fair judgement on him.

Nice...

Did he or did he not just describe Michael Irvin to a tee.

you missed two 'minor' points...

1) andre reed never got arrested for being a cokehead and never got caught on a coke binge with a trannie prostitute in a hotel room

2) andre reed didn't have two super bowls like cokehead irvin had

Better pull out statements by the media during the 90s about him.

Wasn't my words or opinions but Teichers. DT is a slam dunk HOF'r in my opinion

If we had the 1989 draft to do over again, and the Chiefs got to draft first, I'd still want them to take Derrick. I don't think Aikman, Barry Sanders or Deion could have turned this franchise around the way Derrick did.
