On a less distressing subject, who gets into the Hall of Fame this year?
At the risk of being a homer, Joe Thomas should have the shortest conversation. The est OT since Munoz. The only negative on him is that the Browns around him sucked so badly for all 11 years he played, and he never made the playoffs, let alone won the Super Bowl. I doubt that is held against him.
Darrelle Revis should also go in on the first ballot. Maybe the best shut down corner since Dion Sanders.
DeMarcus Ware. He was an elite edge guy. I think Freeney is a better choice but. I do not think two Edges get in and I suspect the guy who has been waiting gets the nod.
Torry Holt. I like Andre Johnson better, but unless you are Megatronish talent wise, the Hall makes you wait. I should point out that I prefer Steve Smith over both, but he is not on the final ballot.
So those four, and possibly Johnson and Freeney. And one other guy, either Willis or Hester.
