Hall of Famers
The next class of Hall of famers includes Fred Dean, Darrell Green, Art Monk, Emmitt Thomas, Andre Tippett, and Gary Zimmerman.
Some very worthy candidates, but to me this year's class will be remembered as the year that Art Monk got in. I mean seriously, he's not a first ballot guy? They should induct him about three different times to make up for that bit of idiocy.

Over Derrick Thomas

I say induct the goddamn people who deserve it the second they are eligible. PERIOD.
Weak
They can't even get it right in baseball
Not to nitpick
Some may argue that punters in general don't belong in the HOF, just as many baseball fans argue that designated hitters don't belong in baseball's HOF. I am of the mind that if the position exists in the sport, then the best at that position should be honored just like the best at every other position. Somebody has to be DH, somebody has to punt. It's not fair to exclude those who fulfill these roles from the list of greats.
I should say
Marvin's HOF induction impact
Before anybody jumps on this, first, let me say I know Marvin has more career TDs and Pro Bowls than Carter, he has a ring, and he already has more catches, yards and TDs than Monk. He's been a premier player on a great team. My concern is that the national media--which essentially populates the HOF voters--seems to presently prefer Moss, TO and Chad Johnson, big, athletic, allegedly game-breaking (and boorish self-promoting) wideouts. This might partially explain why excellent players like Carter and Monk have to wait for their call. It might also predict Marvin's less flashy, more subtle skills--impeccable hands, great route running, masterful faking--won't get the immediate credit they deserve. I'd like to think the voters wouldn't be this colossally stupid, but then they're the same people who said the Patriots would stomp the Giants.
