I’d say Randle and Doleman should both be ranked higher than Cunningham.

Unfortunately I don’t think Stringer’s career was long enough to put him in the hall in the traditional sense, but I think they should consider putting up a memorial to honor him and any other players that died performing football related duties.

Dude! They have LeRoy Hoard ranked at #120.

If you’ll excuse me I need to go create another SBNation profile and call myself REVENGE4HOARD.

LEROY HOARD IS THE GREATEST RUNNING BACK OF ALL TIME. I WANT TO HAVE HIS LOVE CHILDREN. HE NEEDS TO BE IN THE HALL OF FAME NOW OR THEY SHOULD TEAR THE BUILDING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to write a 600 page thesis on why LeRoy Hoard was a much better running back than Robert Smith, with charts and diagrams, and maybe some Elmer’s glue and glitter on the cover—tastefully done of course.

That is all.

Ask yourself one simple question: Why should the Hall of Fame membership be based soley upon football skills and achievements?

Joey Browner’s mother, Julia, always gave me extra french fries when she worked in the auto plant cafeteria in northeast Ohio, even though her boss would chew her out for it. I remain eternally grateful to her. You really can’t keep a good cook down.

Julia died in Atlanta in 1990, and she is buried near her hometown of Warren, Ohio.

Vote for Joey! Remember, extra French fries are really much more important than football.

(At least that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.)

Yeah. Proud of it, too. Why? Because the Vikings are #1. Game over. Put another quarter in the slot.

I don’t know if hes still eligible, but C Mick Tingelhoff ranks way up there (tied with Dan Marino for 11th) on the all-time list of games started, which is almost another season more than Ray Donaldson, a little more than 2 seasons beyond Steve Wisniewski and more than 3 seasons more than Dermontti Dawson. Lomas Brown and Mike Kenn are tied for 7th. It’s a small crime that Mick Tingelhoff is not being considered.

LB Matt Blair is nominated, a veteran of 6 consecutive Pro Bowls. Only 4 Vikings have been to more than 6 Pro Bowls (G Randall McDaniel, 11; DL Alan Page, 9; WR Cris Carter, 8; OL Ron Yary, 7). The other 9 Vikings with 6 Pro Bowls are good company, too: C Matt Birk, TE Steve Jordan, OL Grady Alderman, DB-WR Paul Krause, DE/LB Chris Doleman, DL John Randle, S Joey Browner, C Mick Tingelhoff and DE Carl Eller. 3 Vikings went to 5 Pro Bowls: QB Fran Tarkenton, WR Randy Moss and RB Chuck Foreman. Blair did not have the benefit of sacks being an official stat in most of his playing days, and 16 INTs is a good total for a LB. No other Viking LB has more than 12 INTs. His 20 fumble recoveries rank 5th in Vikings history.

If you saw Joey Browner play, then obviously you have voted for him already. If you missed his playing days, then trust me: he was that good.

Randall Cunningham was my favorite player ever for a time, even before he wore purple and gold. He retired as the QB with the most rushing yards and an 2 MVP awards (one as a scrambler and one as a pocket passer). Injuries prevented him from accumulating higher passing yardage and TD totals, and he finished his career with a passer rating of 81.5, which is better than Warren Moon’s, Bart Starr’s, Fran Tarkenton’s, Dan Fouts’s, and John Elway’s and only 0.1 less than Troy Aikman’s.
