    60 Minutes found him first! <crossthread>

    And as for this thread topic? Hell, and no. He was very good when he wanted to be, but not that good.

    It's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Very Weird.

    Would it be considered a cheap shot to ask what 3Octave has been smoking?

    3OF, are you going to offer some reason he SHOULD in the Hall?

    does he have a couple Super Bowl rings and MVP seasons we don't know about?

    I think he's a sock puppet account anyway, so why not?

    That's what I was thinking.

    Even if you give him the year he disappeared and 1,500 yards in that year he still finishes behind Fred Taylor is total yards. Also finishes behind Edge who came out the same year.

    Now Edge would be a great HOF argument.

    He will be in the Hall of Fame, right next to Freddie Mitchell and Neil O'Donnell.

    Y'all do understand that Shaun Alexander, who scored 21 more rushing touchdowns than James and 38 more than Taylor or Williams, isn't going to make it, right? The Pro Football Hall of Fame is a pretty fucking exclusive club.

    Alexander and James have legitimate arguments to present for their inductions. Corey Dillon and Fred Taylor deserve to be semifinalists at some point, maybe even finalists. But it's more likely that the only Hall of Fame running back drafted between 1995 (Curtis Martin) and 2007 (if Adrian Peterson gets his career back on track after this injury) is LaDanian Tomlinson. Maybe Alexander or James will slip in eventually through the senior committee.
