Break the biases stranglehold

Didn’t he actually finish 7th insted of 6th, ao of his retirement? But it might help to mention that the other six are all in the HOF. Wish I knew who they were.

Maybe I was srong when I asserted (above) that all six of the rb’s that had more yards thatn Little (at the time of his retirement) are in the HOF.

I hate asking for recs, but we would like this post to stay on the front page for at least a day, if you guys can give it a few recs so everyone can see it, it would be appreciated.

One of my complaints about the Broncos over the last three to four years is that we seemed to have lost our fire at the end of games. There was a time, decades long, that Denver owned the fourth quarter, particularly in Denver. I don’t know if it is entirely Mile High vs. Invesco or the “modern” players or just plain conditioning, but we lost several games the last few years in the fourth quarter.

Gentlemen (and ladies), we are in the Fourth Quarter of our efforts to get Floyd Little into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. How many of you have sent emails to the committee? Even one email or twitter? How many of you have Peyton Hillis’ mentality? How many of you are willing to dig deep and get at least a couple of emails or twitters out? Are we going to be Cleveland Browns or Elway-led Broncos? Ladies (and Gentlemen), we are late in the Fourth Quarter and the score is very close. We know Little has support on the Sr. Committee, is it enough? We are in our huddle at our own two. Are we going to execute “The Drive” to get Little in the Hall? It’s up to you. This is not a MHR endeavour. It’s up to you. Who, in this huddle, is going to step forward and say “We’ve got’em where we want ’em now”?

Are two guys who had responded to me earlier and really helped us understand the whole process. I’ve responded back to them again as well, thanking them for their help, sympathizing with how hard it is to be a voter, and asking them to consider Floyd for how much he meant to the Denver franchise.

Dear Mr. Miller: I write to urge you to vote Floyd Little into the Hall of Fame.
 
    Floyd Little led the league in both rushing and combined yards from 1968 to 1973. He was the smallest back to lead the league in rushing since the 1930’s. As a Bronco fan since 1965, I can also tell you that he has a lot of other records and accomplishments, including being one heck of a fine human being. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame because of his accomplishments on the gridiron.
 
    But the real reason you should vote for him tomorrow is this: in the late 1960’s, the Denver Broncos were in trouble. The owners, Gerald and Alan Phipps, were at the brink of selling the team, which would have meant that the Broncos would no longer be in Denver. Floyd Little arrived and energized the fan base beyond the (relatively) small group of Mile High regulars. Floyd Little brought such talent, energy, and humility to Denver that the Phipps brothers succeeded in getting approval for an expansion to Mile High that allowed the Broncos to be financially competitive in the emerging new NFL, and to remain in Denver.
 
    Floyd Little was a heck of a running back, a heck of a human being (still is), and without him there would be no Denver Broncos. Just think about that. One of the original American Football League teams disappearing in a puff of unglory. That didn’t happen, though, largely because of Mr. Little.
 
    I am positive that if you vote Floyd Little into the Hall of Fame you will feel good about doing so for the rest of your life.
 
    Thank you for your time and consideration.

I get sick and tired of these wanta be sports people who dictate who goes in the Hall. Just like the a$$ hole who said as long as he is “alive” he will never vote for Kenny Stabler. Now that’s being a bigot fronm the get go. I don’t have anything to say to those punks. Really, I would give any one of those people the sweat off of my brow!!!

To everyone who has helped out!
