I wasn't too far off on my look at this year's Hall of Fame Class. I was surprised that Shannon Sharp and Chris Carter will have to wait another year. I especially feel for Carter because many people in the media keep saying that his time should be very soon and he has been past over for the third time now. I'm also partial to the Vikings since I spent elementary school there.
Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith were no brainers. It was great to see them enjoy the fact that they will go in together.
I never really liked the Redskins, but I'm very glad to see Russ Grimm is getting in. The 'Hogs' were a big part of the 80's and Grimm was the founder and anchor.
Rickey Jackson is very fitting for this year. The Saints go to their first Super Bowl and get their first HOF inductee together.
John Randle was a great selection. I thought that he would get passed over this year making room for Sharp or Carter, but I'm glad to see this Viking get his due.
I am so happy for Dick LeBeau. He means so much to the game of football. I know that he is going in as a player and his greatest contribution has been as a coach, but I really don't care how he gets there. I'm happy.
I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing more about Floyd Little. His numbers were very good, but didn't seem to add up to HOF to me, so there must be more about the Denver back than meets the eyes. I'm looking forward to finding out about him.
