Yeah, that resume should do it, particularly the All Decade team.

Will was very gracious about it, and that's awesome of him. Rep for Will.

I just feel like this validates the lack of respect the NFL has towards the Chiefs. I realize that part of the problem is they haven't won a playoff game in over 20 years but that's not Will Shields fault. He is one of the good guys in the NFL and he played the game the way it was meant to be played, he deserves better.

There is almost 1,700 players in the league each year and to win the Walter Payton NFL player of the year award, something Will Shields did is a prestigious honor and it means you're not only a good player but a good person. I just feel like Will Shields should've been a lock, I would like to know who was selling him to the HOF committee because they did a shitty job.

My overall thoughts, in terms of deservedness.

1. Aeneas Williams. The guy was one of the best CBs of his era, and maybe the best. The HoF screws over CBs, so I'm delighted that Williams got in. He was the only DB in the finals other than Lynch and clearly deserved it more than Lynch, who shouldn't be a finalist.

2. Derrick Brooks. Brooks deserves to be in the HoF, but Kevin Greene should have this LB spot. Brooks isn't a first-ballot guy and Greene deserves it more.

3. Walter Jones. Jones deserves to be in the HoF, but come on. Will Shields deserves it far more in the OL spot and has been waiting. It's moronic that Jones gets in on the first ballot and Shields continues to wait. Morons, morons, morons.

4. Michael Strahan. In a weak year Strahan would probably get in, and that's fine. I'd put Haley in first at DE, though.

5. Andre Reed. I wouldn't have put any of the WR finalists in. Maybe Marvin Harrison should get in at some point, but not on the first ballot. This spot should have gone to Morten Andersen.

Seniors

1. Ray Guy. We know that Jerrel Wilson deserves it more, but I'm jsut glad that a punter finally made it. Maybe Jerrel will get his due some day.

2. Claude Humphrey. Nah. He was a good DE, but there were better in that era. Dwight White still isn't in. And Kenny Easley, Deron Cherry, Albert Lewis, and Joe Jacoby are still waiting.

Marvin Harrison definitely deserves to get in.

From an NFL article about his snubbing:

"Over a dominant eight-year stretch from 1999 to 2006 when he rivaled Randy Moss and Terrell Owens as the best wide receiver in the game, Harrison averaged 103 receptions, 1,402 yards and 13 touchdowns per season."

That is incredible.

That is also incredible.

He was awesome, as were a lot of Chiefs from that era (my God the whole line!!), but he and they were all part of something that didn't work in the end.

And the HoF should be about individual achievement, and it really is, but there's a cloud that'll alway hang over those who didn't play as members of a team that achieved post-season success.

It really sucks for him, it really does. He really did typify the best of what a football play should be.

Did Derrick Thomas even make it in first ballot? We get so shafted.

Albert Lewis should be in the Hall of Fame too. He might be the most dominant player the Chiefs have ever had it any position. Also he blocked 11 punts. That's ridiculous.

Don't get too worked up over in man, it's not worth it. Trust me, it's not worth it. "We" can't change it, so don't get too invested in it...

I'm pissed about this shit and I don't know why I'm so bothered by it. I'm going to drink tonight until I can't feel feelings.

DT was sixth or seventh. In fact most if not all primarily Chiefs players in the HOF were in their 6/7th if not later ballot...including Lanier, Bell, Buchannan.

He had 143 catches one season. No one in the history of the NFL has come within 20 receptions of that number.

Here's a great article about Guy. Basically says he's nothing special, and King and Dr. Z have more to add. If you're a punter, you better be all-world. Guy wasn't even close to that. So much of his hall of fame stock is built on booming punts down the middle, instead of kicking it to the sidelines. And no punter with that many touchbacks should get this kind of street cred.

Really? You're going to go out of your way to white knight a freaking PUNTER?
