Wow
Great work Guru … That was a special picture and a nice piece of work.
Go So Cal. I am the bigger one.
So Broncos come in
as the worst regarded team so far, being in the bottom quarter of those considered with only Cincinnatti. Falcons look pretty abyssmal too, though I don’t think the claim will be made that they are ignored by Canton…they just really haven’t had many HOF type players.
It will be interesting to see if Denver can hang onto the “crown” once part 2 goes up….

Also
we are behind teams like the Cowboys by a large margin in terms of “Accomplishements” based on the value assigned to the accomplishments:
1 year of existence = 1pt
playoffs = 4pts
superbowl win = 5pts
superbowl loss or AFL champion = 2pts
Does the discrepancy between winning and losing a superbowl seem extreme to any of you? Keep in mind that losing a SB is still 2 points, which is more than you would have if you hadn’t made it there….

awesome find
It doesnt surprise me that Denver gets no love. Never has and probably never will.

I had to give my say. If we don't all get vocal and comment on stories like this, Broncos will never get in.

Hopefully, Football Outsiders...
...has a large readership on the east coast. If the selection committee has any shame at all, maybe they’ll begin to do something about it. Interesting that the so called experts don’t even mention Floyd Little, that he isn’t even mentioned until our own Zappa has to remind everybody. Too bad “raiderjoke” is even allowed to post.
If this be Hell, let us make the most of it!
