Junior Seau, Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Charles Haley and Will Shields were elected Saturday to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The class of 2015, announced a day before the Super Bowl, also includes a pair of contributors, Bill Polian and Ron Wolf, along with senior selection Mick Tingelhoff.

Five nominees were eliminated in the final vote: Tony Dungy, Kevin Greene, Marvin Harrison, Orlando Pace and Kurt Warner.

Earlier Saturday, the selection committee reduced the list of 15 modern-day finalists by cutting Morten Andersen, Terrell Davis, John Lynch and coaches Don Coryell and Jimmy Johnson.

Which made it all the more enjoyable to watch him get owned by Shields that night.

I used to have a gif of that play, isolated on them. It was fun watching Shields drive him into the ground, over and over and over .....

So Kurt Warner, Marvin Harrison, and Orlando Pace aren’t first ballot HOFers? Is the NFL trying to emulated the MLB in being retarded?

The NFL is not too picky about who goes in the HOF. As a matter of fact have a halfway decent career and chances are you’ll end up in the hall.

Very bad picks. Whatever...it’s a political exercise.

I’m biased because Pace is a Buckeye, but I agree. Maybe they’ll get in next time.

Shouldn’t you be sniffing used athletic supporters instead of wasting time posting?

Well I guess we know what you've been doing these last 7 hours since I posted to you.

Engaging in an activity that you are probably not familiar with - going to church. There are a few of us still around who don't use the Lord's Day for worshiping drugged up gladiators participating in staged performances.

Great points. Plus just about all of the prominent '70s Raiders got in including PUNTER Ray Guy.

Hell, Madden is in and he quit coaching very young.

When you think premier '70s QBs, Stabler is always up there.

Maybe an ass off the field, but who the hell cares?

He didn't kill anyone.
