He was on the ballot for several years- always passed over, I really think it was the blooper highlight that did him in. Can anyone tell me if he is in the MN Sports HOF? The man had a work ethic that goes far beyond ANY player today- he was a true role model (except for that thing about shooting himself while cleaning his gun- but he still played!!)

Favre's underhanded pass last year was just as bad as the wrong way run...and it won't stop him from getting in...of course, Big Jim doesn't have Madden up his butt bragging about him on TV all day long, either!

Just look at the numbers up there.. unbelievable.. He is on that vote for 6th underratted guy too..

If he isn't going into the HOF im gonna be so pissed! that blooper is an NFL record too! He holds what 2-3 NFL records?

No superbowls thats why he is not in. His numbers were not great, but good enough plus he is the iron man of football. If they would have won just one of the superbowls he would have been in by now.

"No SuperBowls"???

What the "!F!" is Dan Marino doing in the Hall of Fame then???!!!???

Pissed,
Mark.

You have to win a superbowl if your numbers are boarderline, it doesnt matter if you were part of a great defence or not. He should be in but I understand why he is not.

"Borderline"??? Are you on DOPE??

Sincerely,

Uh, Dan Marino has the best numbers of all time. Jim does not.

Honest,

I agree with Jackyl totally!! Also checked out your sites OUTSTANDING!! CF44 is also one of my all time favorite Vikings.

Yah he should be on the ballot this year.. and be voted in for sure.. No doubt about it.. Hands down was one of the best d-lineman ever.. If I had to pick a D-lineman to start a franchise with it would have to be Jimmy
