Even though the fans don't vote and the media does. Thats a very strong number.

I guess I shouldn't be but I'm still surprised at the Commish getting on the ballot so soon. I think the only thing he really truly did was kill the dynasties, killed the scheduling completely but I guess this is what we get as so called "parity" in the NFL.

Mods, please change this guy to #81 in recognition of all the hype, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP!!! :point2sky :point2sky :point2sky

It seems like any commish that doesn't suck, according to the voters, gets in. :laugh:

That is an excellent idea. btw, Rod Woodson(Total Access) just stated that if Monk does not make it this year he would boycott Canton/HOF.

I was just reminded of a Tagliabue quote in the "Art Monk for the Hall" video: "I look forward to being with you for your induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame," or something to that effect. I remember thinking, "Wow, it's taken long enough that Tags really won't be there." But in this case, Tagliabue will be there with Monk...as his peer.

A candidate is supposed to get 80 percent of the vote to be elected. Art leads the show with 58.2%. I expected to see Art, Matthews, Thomas and Tags minimally hovering around 80%. With 28,000 votes so far, perhaps some are only picking one or two names.
