How about Deron Cherry?

I'm not going to rely on some arbitrary political voting process by a select few with an agenda to determine indiviual excellence.

Are you going to tell me that Chris Hanberger actually belongs in the HoF?

Albert Lewis and Deron Cherry were good players. So far, according to the jury of sportswriters who nominate players for the HOF, they were not among the greatest. Part of that may be because they didn't make enough of a difference to get their teams to a championship game. Lewis never made it with either the Chiefs or Raiders. Chris Hanburger played in the Super Bowl. He helped his team become NFC champions.

I guess we should tell Dawson, Bell, Lanier and the rest of the Canton Enshrined Chiefs that being chosen for the HOF really means squat. It's all just politics.
