Re: Strong first-year class highlights Hall of Fame nominee list
That's a good class
In my eyes though, the voters are a joke Cris Carter was second only to jerry rice in every receiving category and has been snubbed for the past 6 years A guy that scored a 130 TD's, over 1000 catches in his career and can't get in is pretty ridiculous to me |

Cris isn't in because he was a jerk to the media during his playing days

No matter how much of a jerk he is, he was just as good if not better than jerry rice and he should be recognised for it |

But on the field there's no denying in his day he was a man among boys. I'm sure there's more than a few folks in Canton who have colorful pasts as well |

I would say Strahan, Andersen, Sapp, Allen, and Ogden will make it. All in the first year? Probably not. Strahan and Allen most likely the first year. The others should make it eventually.

True it doesn't matter if he was a jerk but it does matter when you act like a jerk to the people that vote your fate into the HOF
