[Broncodroid]

For those interested:

Michael Irvin, Dan Marino, Derrick Thomas, and Steve Young, four first-year eligible candidates, are among the 15 finalists who will be considered for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the Hall's Board of Selectors meet in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, February 5.
Joining the four first-year eligible players as finalists are eight other modern-era players, a highly successful team/league administrator, and two players nominated earlier by the Hall of Fame's Senior Committee. The Senior Committee nominees, who were announced in August 2004, are Benny Friedman and Fritz Pollard. The other modern-era player finalists include defensive ends Richard Dent, Claude Humphrey, and L.C. Greenwood; linebacker Harry Carson; offensive linemen Russ Grimm and Bob Kuechenberg; cornerback Roger Wehrli; and wide receiver Art Monk. The team/league administrator is George Young.

To be elected, a finalist must receive a minimum positive vote of 80 percent.

CanadianSteve I recall the thread you have posted, I thought it was ok to repost this topic for the simple fact the article in the link is quite good. If that article is in your link, my bad, though this was a recent article from SI.com.

No worries, this new list seems to be narrowed down from the earlier one.

My earlier comments;

My picks

1.Dan Marino - definite first timer
2. LC Greenwood - best DE of the 70s, one of the anchors of the Steel Curtain. Hindered by the high number of 70s Steelers already in the Hall
3. Lester Hayes - best corner of his era, had an amazing run in the late 70s early 80s
4. Art Monk - long distiguished career
5. Kenny the Snake Stabler - doesn't have the stats of some QBs, but was the most dangerous QB of the 70s.

I guess Stabler and Hayes didn't make the cut.
