Kevin Greene a HOF Finalist again

This should be the year. It's about time he makes it into Canton.  Most of you know his story but played for the Panthers in 96 and 98-99. What do y'all think of his chances and who else will be enshrined this year?

Three first-year eligible players were among the class of 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which was announced Thursday night.

Quarterback Brett Favre, wide receiver Terrell Owens and guard Alan Faneca join a deep group of players and coaches from previous years, from which only five modern-era candidate can emerge from the vote held the day before the Super Bowl.

The remaining finalists include the five who were reduced in the vote from 10 finalists to five last year, likely giving them an advantage this year: Linebacker Kevin Greene, quarterback Kurt Warner, tackle Orlando Pace, wide receiver Marvin Harrison and coach Tony Dungy.

The rest of the 15-man class of finalists include: Kicker Morten Andersen, safety Steve Atwater, coach Don Coryell, running back Terrell Davis, tackle Joe Jacoby, running back Edgerrin James and safety John Lynch.

We'll see.

Its honestly a stupid selection process. Have a board vote on each player and require a certain amount of votes to get in. Its hard to put players up against each other when they played in different eras and played such different positions. 

 

And TO is a douchebag but if he doesnt get in on the first ballot it just shows how flawed the system is. He's one of the 5 best to ever play receiver

Agreed. TO should make before Harrison! TO was a diva, no doubt about it, but he was the 2nd best receiver I have ever seen play, 2nd to Jerry Rice. Randy Moss is a really close 3rd, imho.

He should already be in. He has better stats then a lot of the 3-4 lbs/Dends in there now.
