I think HOF Running backs are few and far between any more.

He was definitely better than Olandis Gary and Mike Anderson.

I kind of wish that there was a "Hall of Seasons" where we could put dominant seasons into the Hall as a sort of junior varsity. Terrell Davis and Priest Holmes are both guys who should get credit for having short runs of absolute dominance, but I don't think their full body of work is big enough to immortalize their entire career.

Yeah, it's hard for me to put second-tier backs alongside guys like Barry Sanders or O.J. (pre-murder) or Walter Payton or even Tony Dorsett. As good as they were, you can't look at a guy like Bettis or Davis and say that they're in the same category.

Can't believe Ray Guy isn't already in it.

Tony Dungy? Are you kidding me? That guy was a pretty good "players" coach", but never to the level of a HOF coach.

His 2nd most memorable moment ever might be once he was fare beyond his prime.

He ****ing RUINED Urlacher and two other defenders on his way to the end zone on two completely ****ed knees.

BEFORE his last season he had a lift chair installed in his house...

Tags, simply because he's not Goodell.

Adrian Peterson is 28 years old and has been a beast during his career.

He has less than half the total yardage of Emmit Smith.

Point is, how many HOF RBs come out; probably like 1 every 15 years?

Yeah, I really liked the part where he held cities and taxpayers hostage in order to get new publicly funded stadiums for billionaire owners.

Shields
Strahan
Coryell
Bettis
Harrison


It makes me want to puke on my shoes, but Ray Guy as the senior.

With the diminished importance of running backs, I think it'll be a long time before we see another enter the Hall of Fame.

It's going to be QB's, pass rushers, left tackles and the occasional linebacker/wide receiver for the foreseeable future.

That's legitimate business/Rocco

Anywho, I really liked the part where he didn't pussy up the game and try to play mass-marketing guru to the world.

Sure he did.

NFL Europe?

And Goodell did not learn from this.

I hate Tagliabue. He fought free agency (Plan B, anyone?), held cities hostage and acted like a ****ing dick, 24-7.

I know people seem to hate Goodell but most of his actions come from Tagliabue looking the other way, especially in regards to concussions.

That said, expansion to Europe is dumb. NFL Europe failed. And what team wants to fly to Europe, which can take a minimum of 12 hours from the West Coast, to play a game at Wembley?
