[Rain Man]

My take is that the winners should be Will Shields, Morten Andersen, Aeneas Williams, and Derrick Brooks. Walter Jones and Marvin Harrison could sneak in, but I think they should wait a couple of years. They're not first-ballot guys. Charles Haley could sneak in as the fifth guy, too.

I'm also not convinced that Aeneas Williams is better than Albert Lewis, and there's no way that John Lynch is better than Deron Cherry. Who decides these things?

On the senior list, I'd vote for Guy even though he was a Raider. Between him and Andersen this could be the year of the kicker.

Overall, this seems like a weak year. There's a bunch of guys on that list that I don't consider Hall of Fame material.

[BlackHelicopters]

Will Shields and Ray Guy.

Kevin Greene gets no respect. 3rd all time sack leader at the time of his retirement should be enough for the HOF

Oh, dang. I missed him on my list. He definitely gets my vote in my final open slot.

[cosmo20002]

I know he's a Raider and all, but I remember Tim Brown as being pretty darn good--

At time of retirement his 14,934 receiving yards were second-highest total in NFL history; 1,094 receptions were 3rd; and 100 touchdown catches were tied for 3rd … Total of 19,682 combined net yards, 5th all-time at time of retirement

I'm holding out for Ray Finkle.

Mmmm, yep. Mmmmhmmm.

It seems like a quick ticket to the Hall of Fame is to be on a pregame show these days. I recognize that the pregame shows could be latching onto Hall of Famers, but guys like Dungy disprove that theory. He's not even in the Hall of Pretty Good.
