    Tim Brown among this years' HOF finalists

    Wonderin' if he'll get in this year. I doubt it with the way the sportswriters hate the Raiders. They vote tomorrow in the yearly Raider-Snub contest. There are so many past Raider greats who should be in there. I just think the league got sick of seeing so much silver and black in there, they decided to put an unwritten rule in there to keep us out for a while.

    Probably not in yet and not just bacause the bias but because of other receivers on this ballot with him. I know with out looking Carter and Reed are on there as well @ WR. So just that group alone deserves to be in but im not sure any of them make it and if one does it will probably go to Reed since he has waited the longest

    I was right with Tim not getting in but what is shocking is the fact that no WR was inducted this year. Thoughts on those who did get in the Hall this year?

    It was kind of a weak field of candidates this year. I thought Doleman was deserving, the guy was a sack machine back in his day. 2 surprises were Martin getting in and Parcells not getting in. Everybody else was yawn -inspiring imo.

    I think the HOF inductees are a joke this year. Curtis Martin & Cortez Kennedy over Tim Brown and Bill Parcells. No Way!!!

    I agree with Martin especially. I mean i remember the guy playing but i dont remember him being stellar or anything. Just reliable. I read one guys reaction to it and i think he hit it spot on by saying that its going to be hard for these receivers to get in because the league is getting more passer friendly and there records are getting broken every other year it seems. 1 thing Timmy B did that no one has really ever done and still been a HoF worthy receiver is the fact that throughout his career he had 21 different QB's throwing to him and a good chunk of those were not good to say the least.

    Had he played with some of the QBs other WRs that are in played with, his numbers would be huge.

    The hall of fame is more of a popularity contest. The list of players that should be in and those who should not be are both long.

    It's definitely a popularity contest. A contest that is way out of control. Unfortunately there is no real way to get rid of the inherent bias that will exist with this type of honor system.
