Any surprises? Any snubs?
I was upset that Zach Thomas didnt make the HOF. I guess Sam Mills had to wait a litle longer?

I really don't care who does or doesn't get in, no money in predicting it, guys get in 6 years after their career is over. Who deserves to get in or not doesn't mean much to me.
But I agree with Sherman that it is fast becoming a participation trophy.
Typical NFL commercialism that they just can't stop with. When you build an entire weekend around the event, you can't just let 2-3 guys in.
A narrative out of the SB is does Stafford deserve to get in or not, LOL you kidding me?

If a player from my favorite team or a player i enjoyed watching play is eligible, then i root for them to get elected to the HOF.
I like watching their speeches as well (if i'm home when its on I will watch).
I dont think its a participation trophy at all although I believer there should be certain tiers to the HOF (1st ballot, 2nd ballot, 5th ballot, 10th ballot, etc)
meh on the whole "tiers" thing
Like I said, don't care either way but does everything need to be so complicated?
You were either a legend or you weren't is kinda how I'd wanna look at it.
Brady, Brees, Manning, Rodgers - Legends
Big Ben, Rivers, Eli - Not legends
Ed Reed - legend
Leroy Butler - not a legend
Leroy Butler and Bryant Young got done playing 20 years ago, if they're just getting in now then they probably ain't that deserving.
And I think the reason Sherman is making the point he is making is because he is a deserving 1st ballot HOF, a generational player at his position on 1 of the best defenses of all time. But if Leroy Butler is also getting in, then how valuable is the jacket to him really? Kinda becomes a insignnificant accomplishment for guys of that caliber.
