Mass_SkinsFan Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Dan Marino never having a good running back.Lions never building properly around Barry Sanders. I'm not with you on these two. Both of them had opportunities to leave the teams that were not properly building around them and instead chose to stay where they were. In which case I feel absolutely no sympathy for them. If they didn't want to better themselves, why the hell should I cry for them? Barry Bonds being allowed to live. Not quite. Bonds being allowed to continue to play baseball in the Major Leagues, yes that's an injustice. Bonds' name being allowed to remain in the Baseball Encyclopedia, yes that's an injustice. Being allowed to LIVE, that's probably saying a little much. Personally I think he should get the same treatment that Rose should get.... total removal from the records of Major League Baseball.

RE Marino and Sanders: They were loyal to the teams that drafted them. I can't fault them for that. RE Bonds: It was a joke. Well, maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What say you? :laugh: Eactly what I've always said :applause: Add Terry Bradshaw getting credit for the Steelers being great, and Irvin going in before Monk, and it's a flawless list.

rincewind Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 art monk not being in the hall.duh. Far and away #1 Ernie Banks never playing in the World Series (same goes for Don Mattingly). Getting a point for losing a hockey game in overtime - the same amount as you get for a tie (or did before the shootout). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 RE Marino and Sanders: They were loyal to the teams that drafted them. I can't fault them for that. Well I definitely CAN. If you were in a work environment where you needed a particular piece of equipment to really be able to do your job superbly, and your bosses routinely ignored all information and requests from you, your immediate boss and all of your clients to get you that equipment, don't you think that you'd find another place to work the moment your contract was up. I can GUARANTEE you that I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Well, its a bit different between athletes on teams and telephone cords. Not really. Then again I think our difference of views on this one can probably be summed up in this one statement... So far as I'm concerned, since neither of those players ever WON a Super Bowl, they should not be elligable for the NFL Hall of Fame. It shouldn't be the ONLY criteria, but it should be the FIRST criteria so far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
