I tend to agree but I can't help wondering if his statements regarding the older guys not deserving more money will have any effect on his ability to get in. There is little doubt in my mind that he will have all the credentials and more to be voted in, but if the guys voting have a long memory, I could see where that might play against him.

Don't think any such comments will matter at all.

Why do you think that? I have already heard some comments from some of the vets...Dan Pastorini being an example. I don't think Pastorini is in the Hall...I could be wrong...but if his attitude towards Drew is any indication of the way the vets feel...he could be in trouble.

Because the vets don't vote. The media does and they are generally basing it on stats and acomplishments.

Thanks...I didn't know that. I just naturally assumed that the present members had a say in who is voted-in. If that's not the case, then yeah, he probably won't have any problems at all.
