Pro Football Hall of Fame 2015 Class

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

Who do you think gets elected into the Hall of Fame tonight?

 

[tadman95]

Really hope Tim Brown makes it, he deserves it.

 

[NDTampa]

Seau, Pace, Warner

Brown should have been in already. Marvin Harrison should make it on the first time, but he won't.

 

[DonnieNarco]

Time to clear the ridiculous logjam at wide receiver. Put Tim Brown and Marvin Harrison in. I also think Terrell Davis, Kurt Warner, Jerome Bettis, Junior Seau, Will Shields, and Orlando Pace should be in. I only think 5 get in though. A lot of good candidates out there.

 

[rikkitikki08]

If Marvin Harrison doesn't get in this time its ridiculous. His numbers he put up through out his career are mind blowing

 

[zelezo vlk]

They screwed up with the wide receiver logjam. Brown needs in.

 

[pkt77242]

Seau, Pace, Warner

No Warner.

 

[Grahambo]

Tim Brown is long overdue.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

Should be:

Don Coryell
Bill polian
Tim brown
Marvin Harrison
Charles Haley


Not really feeling any of the other finalists

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Warner is a lock, maybe not this year though.

 

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

Jerome Bettis has been elected to the Hall of Fame per WPXI.

 

[IrishLax]

Sounds like Brown once again isn't getting in. Absurd considering he was #2 receiver at time of retirement and played with horrendous QBs.

The Larry Fitzgerald of his era.

I don't follow many NFL guys on Twitter, but this one I do follow sent this out.

 

[IrishLax]

Yeah Tim Brown!!!!! I thought he'd be on outside in favor of Pace.

 

[tadman95]

That's GREAT! Congrats Tim and Jerome!!

Notre Dame had a great day!

Looks like the election committee took care of a lot of overdue players. Good for them.

Nice little recruiting tool

So happy for Jerome Bettis and Tim Brown! Go Irish!

 

[kmoose]

Happy for Brown and Bettis, but disappointed that Coryell did not make it. That guy completely revolutionized offense with "Air Coryell".

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Since so many (not here mind you & mostly Broncos fans mad b/c Davis didn't get in) are bashing Bettis's career, I'll take a shot a Terrell Davis. Great guy & great talent but he only had four great years. Yes the career of a RB is extremely short but we are comparing him to the greatest, he needs more than four years of impressive stats IMO. Injuries derailed what could've been a HoF career much like Don Mattingly in baseball.

Bettis gets slammed for his low ypc but fans can't just compare RBs in the same manner. Jerome Bettis is a totally different runner than say Barry Sanders. He's basically a FB playing TB ala John Riggins, Larry Csonka, etc. Fans forget his ypc were diminished by his last few years when he only went in on short yardage/goal line situations when the whole stadium knew he was getting the ball & the defense had 9 in the box. The guy is a HoFer

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I think Ken Anderson deserves induction from the Vet committee sometime soon.

Harrison & Warner should get in soon. It'll be interesting to see if Moss &/or Terrell Owens go in first ballot.

Orlando Pace will definitely get in next time around. I understand the fans upset he wasn't in this class, but there's a limit and queue so he fell victim to the logjam at WR that is finally loosening up.

Totally agree. Quite honestly, i thought he was already in. This was the football I loved to watch when I was very young. Thrilled for the Bus and Brown...can't wait to see their induction.

 

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

Warner, Harrison and Pace will get in eventually. Favre is the only lock for 2016. I believe Jerry Kramer, L.C. Greenwood, Ken Anderson and Chuck Howley should already be in the Hall of Fame.

 

[Irish#1]

Seau was a shoe in this year. Voters told the Indy Star Harrison is a lock next year.

Has anyone here been to the induction ceremony? I would like to know about your experience
I am not far from Canton and with 2 ND players and a Pack GM it sounds enticing. Is it hard to get tickets?

I was born and raised in North Canton, and my dad used to work on the HOF Transportation Committee most years. I haven't lived there in quite some time (25 years), but it is a great experience, as long as it isn't too hot. There are events the whole week before the Induction Ceremony/Game. A ribs burnoff, a hot air balloon festival, various concerts, etc. I never had an issue with getting tickets to anything, but things have become much more commercialized now, so I don't know about the current state of ticket availability. But the week/weekend is fantastic!
