    Haley should get in, but won't. Even though JJ has 2 SB rings, does he get in? Or was he not in the league long enough?

    That guy is way too hecked up to ever get into the hall of fame.he is as much of a psychopath as there has ever been in the nfl. go back and read the book on the cowboys called boys will be boys and read what i am talking about.

    In my view,ray guy should have been in a very long time ago,as should joe jacoby,don coryell,and brian mitchell because the only person ahead of him in total career yards is jerry rice.of all the great players in the league's past,if the only guy to gain more yards than you is the greatest wr in history,that's pretty impressive to come in second.

    Yeah, that was a great read. The Haley parts were really hecked up.

    Anyway, if convicted fellons are in the HOF I don't see why a crazy psychopath should be left out. I'm not sure if Haley was ever convicted for a crime, or even arrested. Isn't it about what they did ON the field?

    Yeah, but the vast majority of them were just kick return yards in high volume. He wasn't ever even a spectacular returner per se, he just did it a lot, you know what I mean? Good player, but not HOF good.

    I have read the book. FYI, Haley was bipolar. Look it up. He's on medication now and doing well.

    It should be about what they did while they were ON the field, but we all know that's a lie.:icon_frown:

    That is one impressive list. You can make a good argument for just about everyone on the list. The voters have their work cut out for them.

    I Think jimmy johnson should be voted into the hof. the guy won 2 sbs,that is hard as hell to do 1 time,and lets remember,he was working with the dumbest heck in league history,jerry jones! and i say that cause if he had any sense at all,he would have kept jimmy around and won a few more sbs cause with jimmy there,they would have!
