Re: Hall Of Fame: Vomit Inducing
 

[quote=irish]Not only would they never let someone into the "pro football" HOF based on numbers in any pro league besides the NFL, the HOF does not even mention that any other pro leagues (USFL, WFL, CFL) even exist or existed. I was shocked when I went a few years ago and saw that omission. The HOF needs to be renames the NFL HOF because it ignores all non-NFL pro football.[/quote]

That's not entirely true, they do acknowledge the other leagues and accomplishments from those leagues. Sure they don't weigh those other leagues and accomplishments as heavily as they do the NFL, but it's not like they act like the other leagues don't exist.

Speaking of vomit inducing:

Troy Aikman credits Norv Turner with getting him to the Hall and calls him the
'Big brother I never had'

Somewhere, Troy's older brother, Terrance, has a single tear rolling down his cheek right now.

I'm not surprised they mention other pro league teams in a players bio but that's more ot of necessity. What I was getting at is if you go to the HOF there are no displays (that I noticed) on any pro league except the NFL. There is stuff about really old football like when Jim Thorpe was playing but that stuff lead up to the NFL. I was expecting (and hoping) to see stuff on the WFL, USFL, and CFL but found nothing. That was the one aspect of the HOF I was disappointed in.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Vomit Inducing
 

This was a great quote explaining why Monk should already be in the HOF:

Thomas Loverro, Washington Times

"He embodied the old school, and for that alone he should be enshrined so that when a father takes his son through the Hall of Fame, he can say, "Son, here is a man who once caught 106 passes in a season when no one was catching 100 passes. Here was a man who caught a pass in 183 straight games. And not once did he ever pull a cell phone out to make a call after any of those catches."

not that he would have done this anyway, but he would have looked pretty stupid tearing out one of these after a play[IMG]http://www.textually.org/textually/archives/images/set1/Motorola_8000_Cellphone.jpg[/IMG]

Norv got his hopes up for a second, because you know that through all those years in dallas norval thought, "if I didn't have these pox marks troy would [I]really[/I] like me."

By the way, I made up the part about troy having a brother.
