Here is the problem:

The Hall's voting bylaws preclude consideration of non-football issues.
Sorry asswipes, it needs to count. Sports has absolutely no relevance to our culture if all it is, is just a pile of stats.

Irvin should be out. Moon should be out.

Wife beating is far worse than drug abuse.

What really sucks is Thurman Thomas not making it. Um...... HUH?!?!?!?!

All the jizzing over people like Ladanian Tomlinson, Shawn Alexander, Priest Holmes, etc, etc, etc harkens back to Thurman Thomas. He, and to a slightly lesser extent Roger Craig, were the first TOTAL PACKAGE running backs that are so popular today. Thurman Thomas was awesome.

If Warren Moon gets in with no rings and NO Super Bowl appearances, then Thurman Thomas sure as hell should get in with 4 Super Bowl appearances.
