I dont think the HOF is supposed to be based on anything but your play. So if that is truly the case I would really want him in even if he continues to do bad things. In my view that would speak higher to the excellent play of Hall of Famers. I would look at like wow everyone in here is in here for one reason. Not because they were great guys off the field, or donated money to charity, or did lots of commercials for NFL Play 60, but only because they tore it up on the field again and again.

Another thing is if a receiver got in while Harrison waited indefinitely, does that mean that this receiver might just be a nicer guy off the field and not a better player than Harrison on the field? In my view that diminishes the greatness of the players in there.

If the HOF is also slightly based off of being a stand up guy and not just a great player then I take all that back, im 100% with you. I wouldn’t want him in either.


If he does get in, which I think he will, what will be a huge question will be does he speak at the induction? Does he even show up? Is he even alive by the time he gets in (I bet he gets killed in the next 7 years).
