The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.

Since the next NFL class is unveiled tomorrow, we should get this thread going again.
Here's your list to choose from:
Larry Allen Jonathan Ogden Warren Sapp Michael Strahan Jerome Bettis Tim Brown Cris Carter Andre Reed Will Shields Charles Haley Kevin Greene Aeneas Williams Bill Parcells Eddie DeBartolo Jr. Art Modell
I would go with DeBartolo, Parcells, Strahan, Reed, and Ogden. I really hate leaving Haley off the list, though--I'd be fine with having Odgen wait one more year to get him in, though. The rule that there can be only a maximum of five modern day selections is so stupid.
Allen (probably the most dominant o-linemen ever), Greene (still third on the all-time sacks list), Carter (130 TDs), Brown (almost 20,000 all-purpose yards) and Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr.

adding to this: the fact that guys like debartolo jr and parcells have to be debated inclusively with players is so stupid. if parcells gets in, say, it means a player doesn't. what kind of sense does that make? they're not similar cases.

ha ha, can Edwin Edwards induct Debartolo for 400 grand?
I'm not even a Cleveland fan, but the fact that the guy was butt hurt that he couldn't extort the taxpayers of Cleveland to build his stadium for him and then pay him lots of money in revenue so he moved their team to Baltimore is reason enough not to put him in the hall of anything except maybe the Baltimore hall of fame.
Maybe if we could see an Irsay vs Modell exhibit to see which one is the bigger asshole.

How is Kevin Greene not in the Hall of Fame? 3rd all-time in sacks (160). And I know there is a lot of Raider hate on this board, but 20,000 yards and 100+ TDs for Tim Brown. That's about 800 more yards and 40 more TDs than Michael Irvin. He shouldn't have beaten out Carter, but he absolutely should be in the HOF.
