Congrats To The HOF Class Of 2018, BUT.....

Jeff Red's Acceptance speech: My career was headed no where until I rededicated my self and after I was victorious against my one and only enemy, "the towel dispenser" all things seemed possible. If I was reborn and had to live my life over you can dam well bet I'b be a Towel Dispenser demolitionist and all dispensers would be functioning.......................or else....






Salute the nation

Dawkins just opened the door for Safeties There are barely any in the HOF. Lynch will have a tougher time getting in with Pola and Jeff Reed becoming eligible.

Alan will get in. He just has to wait a few more years. It was a strong class

So Urlacher doesn't deserve to get in because he got run over by Bettis on one play in his career? Come on.....that's just silly talk. He was a dominating player for a decade.

No, no, not for simply one play. However, that was in 2005. He played until 2012. After that play happened, he wasn't quite the same force that he was from 00-06. Especially considering that Chicago made the postseason only once more after their super bowl appearance in 06, until the time he retired. I know, I know, team game, Chicago was a bit of a mess during some of those years. I just didn't see the same player during those times. I guess I felt he was a little overrated. Great player, who's deserving of a ticket? Sure. Punching a first ballot ticket? Hell no.
 
I agree with Ham that urlacher lost something after that season. I thought a lot of him too.
 
Not sure how the best player ever at his position has to wait years to get in.
