Default Will Larry Allen get snubbed by the HOF.

If they can snub Michael Irvin like they did Im sure when L.A. comes up for vote the haters on HOF committee will find a way to snub him to.

As bad as it sounds I wouldnt be surprised if they snub Aikman this year to.

I dont think it is overboard. The only thing that is overboard is how the HOF Voters went out of their way to snub Irvin. What will their excuse for doin the same to Allen and Aikman be.

They will be forced to vote Emmitt in the 1st time cuz if they dont then everyone will see them for the haters they are.

No way. Luckily Allen is playing during the Sports Center, 24-hour news, Internet Era. A wide audience has been able to see him play and there is no way he can be overlooked.

I always said that only Emmitt and Allen were locks. Everyone else may have a problem.

Lets step back here:

Irvin will get in - JMO - but he was not a slam dunk player first ballot. Right there but on the bubble.

Emmitt Smith
Larry Allen
Troy Aikman are slam dunk ins

I love Irvin, but he's not in the same league with Larry Allen...not even close. To be honest, Aikman doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath with Allen either...Only Emmitt belongs on the same level as Larry Allen from the 90's teams.

Larry Allen and Emmitt are in the HOF on the first ballot and by an incredible landslide.

larry is unquestionably 1st-ballot material. name even one OG that inspired the kinda fear larry has induced during his glorious career.

you could plug him in anywhere and know he was just gonna kick the tail off of whoever lined up across from him. and often the fella backing him up, too.

he maybe a shell of his former self - but i wouldn't trade his decade of stellar play for anybody who ever played the O-line.

he was just a badda**.

Absolutely right on here Nors. No way they don't put arguably the best tackle and guard to ever play into the HOF on the first ballot. Hell he's still all world 90% of the time.

A Strong Argument can be made that Allen was the Best at his Position in NFL History.

He'll go in the first time he's up for consideration and it won't even be close.

I wouldn't put it past them.

What a shame, to not let Irvin go

If Irvin, Aikman don't get in before Emmitt.. i will be so pissed off.

the only way id be happy if aikman and irvin slide (again for irvin) is if they go same year as smith even though thats really far away but still, and maybe its time for rice to retire to go in with emmitt making a great year in the HOF.
