(from the hall of fame sight)
January 10, 2007
Bruce Matthews
Paul Tagliabue, Thurman Thomas, Michael Irvin, and Bruce Matthews are among the 17 finalists that will be considered for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the Hall's Board of Selectors meets in Miami, Florida on Saturday, February 3, 2007.
Joining these four finalists, are 11 other modern-era players and two players nominated earlier by the Hall of Fame's Senior Committee. The Senior Committee nominees, announced in August 2006, are former Cleveland Browns guard Gene Hickerson and Detroit Lions tight end Charlie Sanders. The other modern-era player finalists include defensive ends Fred Dean and Richard Dent; guards Russ Grimm and Bob Kuechenberg; punter Ray Guy; wide receivers Art Monk and Andre Reed; linebackers Derrick Thomas and Andre Tippett; cornerback Roger Wehrli; and tackle Gary Zimmerman.
here' the list from the HOF site.tags does'nt have to wailt 5 years because he was the commissioner,rozelle did'nt have to wait 5 years either,and tags does deserve it now,imho.eight ball irvin does'nt to deserve to get in because of the many stupid and dumb things he did off the field when he was still playing!
he deserves to get in of course,but not until he is eligible for the last time.
he'll always be 8 ball irvin too me!
