Who wouldn't miss a hall of famer in the backfield?

I think he is, but it will be close. He is 10th all time in all purpose yards, and had 67 td's, which is pretty good. Plus he was dominant for 5 straight years.

But he had no Championships. They cannot induct Tiki without first inducting Monk. That would be a slap in the face.

It's already a slap in the face to Monk. In my mind he should have been a no brainer hall of famer.

I meant to say "another slap in the face". Honestly though I cannot see Tiki getting in for a long time if at all.

He might not. I think he'll be one of those fringe guys. I'm not sure, but not many good players retired last year, so Barber might not have much competition when he's up for it.

Every time Monk doesn't get in, it's a slap in the face to him, the fans, and every quiet, decent, kind person everywhere. It's a huge slap in the face really.
