NFL Class of 2009 HOF Thread

Yeah cause redemption from poor play or being on a bad team is unforgivable. But doing lines of coke in your locker is cool as long as you produce.

 

That isn't what I wrote. If you want to try to make the argument that Carter didn't get himself clean, go for it. The evidence doesn't back you up, but that's never stopped you before.

 

There are 25 guys on a baseball team and 53 on a football team. Therefore, the Football Hall of Fame figures to be bigger than the baseball one.

 

Kurt Warner vs. Cris Carter.

Well... all coke issues aside, I'd say that Warner is a BIT more of a team leader than Cris Carter ever was. Having covered those Vikings teams of the late 1990s, Moss caught all of the flak in the locker room while CC -- for some reason -- usually went above reproach. Yet CC was the definition of a 'diva receiver'.

 

Except that the Baseball Hall of Fame has been around since 1936; the Pro Football Hall of Fame only since 1963. And professional baseball has existed in some form since the 1870s; pro football in a recognizable form only since 1920.

 

I was at that game as a kid, too.

 

What would have been his eighth sack turned out to be the game-winning TD pass by Krieg, right?

 

Yup. Kreig somehow shook him off and threw the TD pass. If it wasn't the last play of the game, there were less than 5 ticks left.

 

Paul Skansi, right?

 

You got me there. First, I, like everyone else, was trying to figure out what the hell just happened. Second... I was 11.

 

Yep, Paul Skanski. The poor man's Steve Largent on that team.

 

I wonder how long Cris Carter will stay in his room this time. Last year he as despondent when he did not make it.
