I think the Hall of Fame discussion is interesting. I knew that Smith was good, but his stats really stood out. I think he's still 4th or 5th in career TDs among TEs. There were some allusions that perhaps he was shut out because he was gay or because of the AIDS. However, I don't really buy that. He was a very small TE who wasn't much bigger than the receivers of his era. He was definitely one of the top TEs, but I remember thinking he was kind of second-tier behind guys like Jackie Smith and Charlie Sanders. Of course, maybe that's a meaningless comparison since those guys are both in the Hall, but Sanders just made it in the last couple of years.
