I knew that there was only one way for the much older vets to get in and Floyd Little is a prime example. I remember seeing Randy Gradishars numbers and they are much better (higher) than Dick Butkus's numbers. So yes, the bias in the east is unjust. We know the truth about gradishar and that's fine by me. OSS, thanks. I knew that there was only one way for the much older vets to get in and Floyd Little is a prime example.

Had his more knee surgerys then I can remember. Not all invasive but he had his right knee scoped for some clean up on a Thursday before a faders game and started and ended that game. Was a leader of the OL that never talked to the press. If one of them did they had to take all the other O linemen to dinner--and they can eat!! LOL. Maybe not first ballot but should make it sometime!! ILMSDB FTR Tom Nalen was one hell of a Beast. Had his more knee surgerys then I can remember.

His 25 years of elegibilty were up many years ago. His only hope is to follow in Flloyds footsteps ands make it via vets nomination. Sadest part about Randy is that, except for SB appearancers, hs statistics top LBs of his era in HOF. The Eastcoast bias against the Broncos will probably never be overcome. Out of Nalen, TD, Rod, et al, the only ones who stand a chance are Rod and TD. OL making it on first year on the HOF ballot is extremely Rare . Hopefully, within 5-7 years Nalen will get his due.

That guy could hit! He would be fined every week in todays NFL just for hitting too hard. LOL They were all great players, splitting hairs picking any one over the other.

He does have to go based on video evidence. It was a helmet to helmet 'stick' and Shaub was injured with the potential of being much more injured. As much as I hate the decision - If I were the Commish, I'd have fined him too. Now the other side of that is whether or not the NFL is supposed to be punishing based on hits. If I were the commish - Not on my watch!!! Of course - Roger Goodell is acting on behalf of the owners - just doing what he is told.
