Theismann Elicits Strong Emotions

[cpayne5]

This doesn't have much to do with the topic at hand, but does involve Theisman. A couple weeks ago, he was on the SportsBash with Erik Kuselias discussing the HOF induction process. They were talking about how its aweful that #81 hasn't been inducted and how Peter King is basically the gate keeper and is the one keeping him out of the hall. Kuselias then asked for a yes or no (whether Joe thinks they deserve to be in the HOF) for a list of names. Erik read them right after another and their was no discussion, just a yes or no answer. Darrell Green's name was read and Theisman initially said yes. Then he back tracked and said, 'oh, you said darrell green. no.'. I was kind of suprised by this. I admit that Darrell is right on the borderline, but was surprised to hear Theisman, who was a team mate during some of Darrell's best years, say no.

As you can see by my moniker I am an Art Monk fan he's not an egotistical loudmouth and did his NFL job with class and dignity and with his records he deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame!!! I guess he's not "splashy" enough for the voters. But why is Peter King the gate keeper????????? Curious wonder why Joe said no to Darrell or was he talking about getting into the HOF on a first round ballot maybe?????????? Playing until age 42 deserves to be in the hall!!!...........
