Ok because people did this with Deion and Charles Haley....I don't remember them worrying about what "team" they're going in with. TO as well.
when they used to do the portrait...the player or coach or front office person would have to pick which team so it could be painted in that teams color's.
but when the artist died...they stopped doing those so now nothing is ever said about what team they're going in as...except for us fans.
i miss those portraits.
they were so cool...and the likeness was amazing.
the league used him for alot of things.
the cowboys used him for their prints during their silver season anniversary back in '84.
they were sold thru pizza hut.

Would tar-and-feathering a Board of Selector's vehicle be an appropriate response if Chuck Howley doesn't get in?

and

Approximately how many buckets of tar and bags of feathers would adequately cover around 50 automobiles?

Asking for a friend.
or...they should just close it down.

Lester should easily be in the HOF. He was even NFL Defensive Player of the Year ... and yet remains shut out.

" Stick 'em" had nothing to do with him being a perennial shutdown coverage CB.

I’ve been saying this for years about Lester. I can’t believe he’s not in. The use of stickum didn’t stop Biletnikoff’s induction.

Only thing I care about is John Wooten getting into the Cowboy haters NFL Hall of Fame.

Wooten scouted all these players excluding Chuck Howley, got them drafted by the Cowboys as Director of Pro Personnel (see Will McClay before his latest Promotion), and then made it possible for them to get jobs in the NFL including President, GM, and Head Coach with the Fritz Pollard Alliance.

So many Cowboys deserve the Hall of Fame,from Cornell Green to Demarcus Ware. It is just what I call it...Cowboy Haters NFL Hall of Fame.

Is Ware going to get inducted as a Cowboy or a Bronco? Most of his career was with Dallas but he never won crap until he got to Denver. Stupid Jerry.......
I believe the Player goes in...no team attachment needs to be indicated...

cool video dedicated to coach landry's induction.
near the 13min mark you'll notice the portrait next to his bust.
they used to do these for each enshrinee...painted in the team colors.
they used the same artist until he passed away and thats when the portraits stopped.
they were cool.

That's my coach.

Joe Thomas should definitely get in simply because he was awesome in Cleveland and never missed a snap for 11 years while playing for the worst franchise in all of sports.

Ware should get in but Woodson should get in before him.
Lol no way in hell Woodson deserves it over Ware. Ware not getting as a first ballot was a joke, him not getting in a second time should be a crime. Ware retired in top 5 in linebackers when it comes to sacks, Woodson didn't retire at top 5 anything at his position

If I had to only take five…

All 3 Cowboys (you know at least one of our boys is getting in with this many former players)

…after that it gets tough

Going with Zach Thomas and Joe Thomas. Tempted to pick Devin Hester. Dude redefined his position.

All great players but tough to pick a WR when these aerial yard players are a dime a dozen now.

I didn’t know Chuck Howley had dementia until Nick Eatman mentioned it today on The Break.

Revis needs to be first ballot... dude was truly generational.
Ware needed to be first ballot last year.
Dwight Freeney is an All-Decade teamer, which is basically a HOF auto-admit.
Ditto with Joe Thomas.
And then I think I'd put in Zach Thomas.
Chuck and Harvey are on the 70s all decade team...still waiting..HOF is a joke.
