The NFL isn't changing their selection process for the Hall of Fame, but this year they have teamed up with Van Heusen to make a website dedicated to fan opinion on the 2010 HoF class.
Tapping into the passion and knowledge of pro football fans, Pro Football Hall of Fame Enterprises, Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation [NYSE:PVH] and J. C. Penney Company, Inc. [NYSE: JCP] have teamed up to provide the first-ever dedicated forum for fans to debate, discuss, and voice their choice by voting for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee Class of 2010. The Pro Football Hall of Fame Board of Selectors will have final say, but the collective Fan's Choice for the 2010 Hall of Fame Inductee Class will be revealed live on the NFL Network in Miami on February 6, 2010, just prior to the official announcement from the Board.
The website is actually pretty cool, and it's a neat little place for us to show our support for Viking legends who deserve to have their place in Canton!! The site is:
We all know that Cris Carter has been royally screwed for a couple of years now, so go vote for him!! John Randle and Cris Doleman were two of the defining players of post-70's Vikings teams. Go vote for them!! You are allowed to choose 7 men out of the over 130 names on the list, and you can vote once a day.
"This is a historic moment for the Hall and for football fans, as it marks the first time we are endorsing this type of fan voting forum," said George Veras, President Pro Football Hall Of Fame Enterprises. "Although the fan's vote will not count towards the official selection process, one thing is certain, the Hall will hear the fans loud and clear."
Of course, the balloting process remains the same, with a number of prominent sports' writers from across the country on the panel of HoF voters, but in the past the NFL has seemed to shun public opinion on this matter, and this year they are at least embracing it a bit. So go vote for our guys and make our voices heard!!

This could be the best chance to get one of the all time greats the recognition he deserves. Make sure to vote for Jim while he’s still around to enjoy it.
Unfortunately, not listed as a Nominee this year....
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!
Very cool!!
There’s 9 Vikings in that list of prospects, which creates a problem…. There are only 7 players that you can vote for!
I’m kind of surprised that Korey Stringer is considered an HoF prospect, I didn’t realize he was considered to be that extremely good. Same for Rich Gannon, who only had a couple great years.
Ah, ah,
