    The 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame was announced Saturday at "NFL Honors," the crowning achievement in the proud careers of seven all-time greats. Michael Strahan, Andre Reed, Walter Jones, Derrick Brooks, Aeneas Williams, Claude Humphrey and Ray Guy are the newest football immortals headed for enshrinement in Canton. Humphrey and Guy were Veterans Committee candidates.

    All seven men were on hand here at Radio City Music Hall and were greeted by incredible applause as they hit the stage. It felt like a scene out of a movie, and one that we suspect the NFL will continue at future NFL Honors shows. (This was the first time the Hall of Famers were announced at the show.)

    Every man is more than worthy for the honor, but we are very surprised that Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison did not make the list. Reed, who has waited for years for the logjam at wide receiver to break, made it over Harrison. There is no statistical argument to support that decision. Tony Dungy, Harrison's onetime coach, also was left off the list.

    The absence of Harrison from the list above was regrettable, but Strahan learned that you sometimes have to wait a year longer than you expect. Also left off the list: Tony Dungy, Morten Anderson, Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Eddie Debartolo, Kevin Greene, Charles Haley, John Lynch, and Will Shields. Haley surprisingly remains out of the Hall.

    Charles Haley should be in too. It's so stupid that they can only "let" a certain number in. If a guy deserves to be in, freaking enshrine the guy for freak sake.
