Hall of Fame Game 2010

[casmith07]

Does anyone think that the Hall of Fame Game for 2010 could feature our Cowboys with Emmitt being the obvious choice for the #1 inductee next year?

 

[NextGenBoys]

I would say that's a good possibility.

 

[windward]

Should be Cowboys vs. Niners imo. Isn't Rice elgible as well next year?

 

[Rampage]

I hope we're not in the hall of fame game. just an extra preseason game.

I think he might be eligible in one more year.

John Randle is eligible next year too though...maybe Cowboys-Vikings?

Cris Carter could be elected as well.

No, Rice is eligable next season. Tim Brown is also eligable. You would think those two are slam dunks just like Emmitt. You never know however. Chris Carter, Andre Reed and Shannon Sharpe aren't in the Hall yet and I would have bet the house all three would have been first ballot guys. The NFL Hall of Fame voters, just like the baseball voters, are absolute morons.

I thought it was a good possibility when Aikman went it and then Irvin.....

 

[CowboyMike]

We always think this and they're never the team chosen to play in it. Aikman and Wright, then Irvin. Nothing.

Does anyone know the criteria for the teams?

If Andre Reed is elected into HOF, he will be the fifth player from those dynastic Bills teams of the early 90s to be inducted.

How did they not win at least one Super Bowl?

At least they are getting their props from the HOF sports writers. The Cowboys teams were penalized for losing Super Bowls.

They had the misfortune of being the second best team in the NFL four years in a row. The one season (1990) they caught a break and didn't have to play the best team (49ers) in the Super Bowl, they found a way to screw the pooch.

#1 Scott Norwood
#2 a very good skins team
#3 one of the greatest teams of all time
#4 one of the greatest teams of all time

Yeah, and as of next year, we'll have three members from those teams in the Hall of Fame.

The Bill might have five.

Looks like we're being penalized for winning those Super Bowls too.

I was about to make a similar comment. Unless Charles Haley or Darren Woodson is inducted sometime in the future -- a circumstance that doesn't seem immanent at this point -- the 1992 and 1993 Cowboys teams will have a grand total of three players in the HOF.

Ironically, the 1995 Cowboys team will have at least five players inducted, and they were worse than either the 1992 or 1993 team. It's a testament to the importance of depth.

The Buffalo Bills of the 90s are often underrated, in my opinion. In 1992, the Bills went into Candlestick Park, and defeated the San Francisco 49ers. Even if the Niners had gone to the Super Bowl in 92, their victory was not assured.

1995: Aikman, Irvin, Emmitt, Deion, Larry Allen?

IMO, Moose Johnston deserves to get in. Can anyone name a better fullback? And he forced the NFL to create the position in the Pro Bowl.

Darren Woodson deserves it, and probably a couple of the O-line from then. It's a crime that Charles Haley isn't in. He's only not in because he wasn't nice to the media, and that's a crime.

Why the hell does the media vote for the HoF anyway?

I sure hope so. We plan on going to see Emmitt go in. We went in '06 to see Aikman and Rayfield Wright. Great experience. If you've never been, I highly recommend going at least once.

Thats a good question. You would think it could be like former coaches committe or something. No matter who does the voting, there is no way to eliminate bias. I have doubts Larry Allen gets in his first year eligible.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Larry Allen is a sure fire first ballot HOFer, but he wasn't on the team during the 92 and 93 seasons.
