TBF, depending how you count it (i.e. which team you count the player having played for predominantly, or you count all teams they did), It's even between us, Giants, Cowboys and Steelers; ~32 players each.

I wonder if that's how they're influenced, trying to balance nominations per team? Shouldn't be that way, as its the player not the team, but...

I might argue that we've had more HOF-worthy players (than Dallas, at least) and so their numbers should be less than ours.

But all that aside, there's simply no justification that Jacoby hasn't gotten in by now (and indeed, should have been long ago). It's a travesty, as I think we'd all agree.
