as much as I hate the Cryboys, tell me that Irvin should be in before Bob
Hayes and Drew Pearson. The voters have it all wrong. Hayes changed the
game(zone defense) and Pearson was second to only Swann in big time
playoff games.

Long time overdue for Roger. I remember that fake FG for a TD against the Giants as one of my all time fav plays.

Charlie Sanders ?????????????????? . He must've hired a good PR guys to sell his case. The NFL HOF has the worst formula for induction. It's basically a PR spiel to a commitee and i guess you get in if you bring donuts.

All right. Another guy for the Rams to add to their ring of honor.

Congrats to Mr. Werhli.

Congrats Roger, I watched Wehrli as I grew up. Now I have to see if I am going to follow my word, and go to Canton when a Cardinal gets inducted. Shouldn't be too far from Missouri.

Sanders and Werhli are in the same boat. A pair of guys who were consistently good but never great. Both made 7 Pro Bowls, both are on the all-decade team of the 1970s.

Sometimes the Hall makes guys like that wait in purgatory for a few years, and this year I guess they decided to reward them both.

Since Sanders made 7 Pro Bowls in only 9 seasons (whereas Werhli played 14) if anything he deserved it more. And I can guarantee you that every other team's message board is saying "Roger Werhli?????" right now.

Ooooh man that was awesome!!!! IIRC that was his last game as a Card. I remember in 1974 he intercepted a pass from Sonny Juregenson at St Lou against the Redskins and I think he returned it for a TD. The 'skins were toast after that play!!!!!

Wow. Never thought he would get it. I'm thrilled he did. Monk should be in. I don't know what the problem is. It's almost like a conspiracy to keep him out. I wonder if he pissed somebody off, or what?
