Shameful is an understatement for both of these. It is down right disrespectful and fucking piss poor!!!!!

I'm surprised Grambling hasn't started a campaign to push the PFHOF to get him in.

How many times has he been nominated?

Doug, although a Super Bowl winner and MVP, doesn't have the numbers to get in nor was he considered one of the best QBs during the time in which he played.

You have to think he's getting in sooner or later though with how threw NFL support him
 
Robert Brazile (Patrick Willis has an identical career to Brazil)
LC Greenwood
Everson Walls
Harold Jackson
Otis Taylor
Harold Carmichael

If T.O. is an obvious HOF and getting blackballed, OMJ might not ever get in while living.

I think as long as Doug is in good favors with the NFL, he should trying leaning on the Veterans Committee for these guys to get in
 
LC Greenwood


Ex-Steelers say Hall of Fame “cheated” L.C. Greenwood

The Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s have eight players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And some of them say that’s not enough.

There’s a movement afoot to get L.C. Greenwood, a member of the Steel Curtain defensive line who played in Pittsburgh from 1969 to 1981, enshrined in Canton as a seniors committee candidate. Greenwood’s Hall of Fame teammate Mean Joe Greene feels strongly that Greenwood belongs in the Hall.

Doug will probably get in for the Super Bowl win ... he probably would've won in Tampa Bay if then-owner Hugh Culverhouse broke bread with him instead of trying to low-ball him.

But maybe the conferences should do some lobbying for these former players. I just don't like folks getting their bouquets and not being able to smell the flowers, ya dig.
