  I decided to look at a few running backs and QBs who are in the HOF. What I found out was troubling. I  looked up their career records at www.pro-football-reference.com . After looking at the player's numbers tell me why they are in the Hall of Fame!?

    HALL OF FAME  RUNNING BACKS

Player                          Team                 Attempts               Yards             Avg                  TDs

Cliff Battle                                                839                    3,511              4.2                    23

Tony Canadeo          Packers                 1,025                   4,197              4.1                    26

Bill Dudley                 Steelers                  765                    3.057              4.0                    18

Harold Red Grange     Bears                    170                       569              3.3                    21

Yes, thats the famous Red Grange that the media created myth!?  3.3 per carry!?

Paul Hornung              Packers                 893                     3,711              4.2                  62

 I know that the Packers won a couple championships with Hornung but these stats are great? Hell there are 6 Dallas' backs with better numbers? I mean 3,711 yards total!?

Tuffy Leemans            Giants                  919                      3,132              3.4                   17

Ollie Matson             Chi. Cards             1,170                    5,173              4.4                   40

John McNally              Packers                  120                      386               3.2                    5

Bronco Nagursky        Bears                    633                     2,778              4.4                   25

 Yes, thats the famous Bronco with a whopping 2,778 yards rushing. Another media creation? These stats are incredible. I can't believe it.

Frank Gifford               Giants                   840                    3,609                4.3                34

                                   Rec.                       367                   5,434                14.8               43

Ok, Frank was a good receiver but a Hall of Famer!? Are those great numbers!? Calvin Hill had similiar numbers, hes never been considered for the HOF?

Calvin Hill                    Cowboys             1,452                  6,083                 4.2              42

                                   Rec.                       271                   2,861                10.6            23

Herschel Walker is another Dallas' back with better numbers then Frank Gifford.

H. Walker                 Cowboys                1,954                 8,225                  4.2              61

                                 Rec.                         512                  4,859                  9.4              21

 Both these Cowboys haven't been considered for the HOF. More media HOF farces are..

 Art Rooney            Steeler Owner             0 Division Titles        Below .500 as an owner

  It was his son Dan who had the success with the Steelers. I guess Art was a good old boy huh!",  drinking whiskey and rum!! Hes in the HOF! Just like Jim Kelly who got in first ballot while Irvin had to wait!? What a  joke! Its a popularity poll.

 Now a few of the QBs who are in the Hall of Shame!

  QB.                         Att.                 Comp.          Pct.                TDs          INTs

J. Namath               3,762                1,886          50.1               173          220

 Namath  threw 47 more interceptions then TDs! Are you kidding me!? Yea, he threw for alot of yards but that ratio is absolutely dreadful. A completion pct. of 50.1!? Another media created myth. Is there room for Danny White!?  He had a much better TD/INT ratio!Redicuious! Still more alarming numbers!

                                         Att.                   Comp.          Pct.                 Tds.          Ints.

Bobby Layne   Lions         3,700                1,814           49.0                196         243

He had 47 more INTs then  TDs? What was the media looking at!? C'mon, you tell me!?  A completion average of 49%!? That is a great player!?

Weeb Ewbank       130- 129 as a coach of the Jets is in the Hall of Shame!?

                                     ANY ROOM FOR QUINCY CARTER  !!!!!!!!?

            I look at the great players in my team's history and all the players that aren't in. The Cliff Harris, Charley Waters, Harvey Martins, Ed Jones, Chuck Howley, Lee Roy Jordan, Cornell Green and what about all the offensive linemen that helped the Cowboys go 20 straight winning seasons? Only one o linemen in the Hall? Why is Tony Dorsett in the top 7 in alltime rushing!? Where are the Pat Donavans, Herb Scotts, Eric Williams, Mark Stepnoski, John Nilands, and Nate Newtons? These guys aren't even on the consideration list. How about Drew Pearson and Tony Hill who have better numbers then Swann? These writers are clowns. Look at some of these players the media has put in the Hall of Fame!? They've made a mockery of the sport with irresponsible voting. Check the websites, these stats are accurate and the people who vote are classless morons.
