Once again, Chris Carter got denied. Someone should ask him how does it feel.

re: Updated: Hanburger in Hall
 

Great Career, tough as nails. Nine time elected to the probowl, back when only players voted. So he was voted by his peers. Not an out of touch fan or reporter.
Drafted 18th round! That is right...18th round of the 1965 draft. 1972 NFC defensive player of the year.
Plus a true 70's bowl hair cut.

chris hanburger was my favorite redskin when i first learned what football was and may be the reason i am a redskin fan to this day

Can't imagine two more different personalities on a Hall of Fame list than Chris Hanburger and Deion Sanders. The ultimate humble team player and the ultimate blowhard primadonna.

Makes me proud to be a Redskins fan.

Me too. I remember standing in line w/a small football at a bank in Williamsburg, Va waiting for him to autograph it. I must've been 6 or 7, was during the mid 70s.

I really didn't think he would get in, but now that he has it's much more special to me. At least these last few years the Skins' great players are getting their due, nice to have some good news!

Re: Updated: Hanburger in Hall
 

Congrats to Hanburger but in all honesty he played well before my time. It's good for the organization and for him but I personally feel no connection. I blame that on age. Perhaps I could sit down and watch "70 greatest redskins" but it's still hard to associate with an era that you were not a part of.

Re: Updated: Hanburger in Hall
 

Congrats to Hanburger. Wish I could have seen him played, but ill will be sure to tune into the HOF speeches. Always special when a Skin goes in.

Re: Updated: Hanburger in Hall
 

Congrads to a great redskin , and a member of the famed " Over The Hill Gang " !! Hail Skins !!

Re: Updated: Hanburger in Hall
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;782616]Another great Redskin makes it, the last 4 HOF are nothing but class.

Hanburger
Grimm
Green
Monk

I wish we had 52 players with this type of class, Alexander is the current bright spot.[/quote]

Fletcher could play with these guys

Why is it that Carter is so hated? He must've been a real dick to the media people.
