Pro Football HOF Finalists (Hutch + Law)
THe 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame were announced yesterday, and Steve Hutchinson made the list in his 1st year of eligibility. Law was also a finalist last year. Other notable names include Randy Moss (new), Ray Lewis (new), Brian Urlacher (new) and TO (old).
I don't really have a sense or opinion on whether or not the Wolverines make it, but the maximum is 5 per year. Seems like Hutch might have a shot as the 4th or 5th guy in, but Law perhaps not so much. Either way, still pretty cool to see former players close to having busts in Canton.

Sorry if already posted...i didn't see it on the front page, and searching is hard.

Amidst all his antics, it’s bullshit that TO wasn’t a first ballot HOFer. Here’s to hoping both him and Randy Moss get in this year along with Ray Lewis (obvious 1st ballet)... those speeches will be ridiculously lit AF fam yo fire /s

i think it is ridiculous that the media holds his personality against him. The guy (TO) was one of the 5 or 10 greatest receivers of all time, and he belongs in the hall.

TO wasn't really even that bad. A showboat, but his antics didn't really hurt anyone except in the ego.

This was my statement! He never crapped on others, everything he did was based on his talent as a WR to bring attention to his talents. And he backed it all up with his on-field play! There was never a hint of off-field tomfoolery from him. He should've been a first vote HOF'er.

He eventually became a locker room cancer. I think this absoultely should be a factor included when determining if a player gets enshrined or not.

Hutch deserves it. I'd also like to see Edge get in

I don't remember U2's superbowl halftime performance as being HOF worthy.

Ty Law should go in the same year as Peyton Manning just to rub it in one more time how Michigan corners seem to own Peyton.

Ray Lewis should be shunned... Great player, but he facilitated murder by not telling his 'possee' to stop. And he may well have covered it up. Fuck him and his born again BS...

Is Ty Law at all engaged with the program these days? I oftentimes forget he is an alum.
