The NFL Network is set to make the announcement for the Hall of Fame Class of 2011 at 5 pm MST (7 pm EST). Watch it LIVE on your computer.
Shannon Sharpe is a Hall of Fame finalist for the third year in a row and all of us here at MHR are wishing him the best of luck. Jeff Legwold presented Shannon Sharpe's name to the Hall of Fame voters today and that will, hopefully, be enough to point the voters in the right direction and put Shannon into the Hall of Fame.
I don't think there's any debating on this site about whether or not Shannon Sharpe deserves it. The voters think he deserves it, as well. But does he deserve it more than 2/3 of the Hall of Fame finalists?
We're about to find out.

According to Tony Grossi, Shannon Sharpe discussion took about 12 minutes.

Should be a quick discussion.
Does Shannon Sharpe belong in the HOF? Of course. Absolutely, No brainer. Well duh.
End of discussion.

Yep, team affiliation is his undoing.....unfortunately

Key phrase in that comment is "should be".
Unfortunately, that’s not how they’ve been doing things. Oh well. Hopefully we’ll be in a good mood in 15 minutes.

It's the block of voters who want to treat him purely as a WR.

This is going to be interesting....
In 22 minutes people are going to be super stoked or really pissed off. I may even dust off and use the words “elated” in one instance or in the other “travesty”. I’m pretty sure there’s no scenario where I’d use both together. Maybe if they announce moving the busts of the Raiders and Chargers to the janitors closet or soemthing…. We’ll see.

didn't think I'd be this nervous
but I am. I want Shannon and I want him this year. My gut tells me he won’t make it, just based on the replies we got from voters, but I really hope I’m wrong. Exploring the man’s career so closely these last few months has brought him right to the forefront of my fan consciousness, after a few excruciating years when greatness seemed to slip to the periphery of thoughts about this team. Shannon represents the very best of the Broncos in terms of energy, enthusiasm, talent, motivation, physical acumen, and team spirit. Looking back now, I miss that guy beyond belief.

how could anyone look at Shannon’s career and think a guy like the Bus goes in before him? Insanity.

Bowlen prefers offensive-minded head coaches. He likes offensive minds because he likes his team to have star power at quarterback. He's not a stout-defense/run-the-ball kind of owner. It's a sound, core philosophy. Football franchises are about winning, first, but they're also about entertainment.

84 to the Hall!
I don’t know where the voters come off stating that Sharpe should be considered like a WR. He was the best TE in NFL history when he retired, and he should be honored as such.
The only thing I think is going to hold him back is Floyd getting in last year. You know the HoF doesn’t like Broncos, so they might just make him (and his grandma) wait another year.
On another note, does anybody else feel like the only way Randy Gradishar is going to get in is the same way Floyd Little got in? If so, how much longer do we, and he, have to wait till he is eligible for senior committee consideration?

and I believe it can even be posthumous. Let’s hope it doesn’t come down to that.

Just watched the NFL Networks Top 10 SB of all time.
SB 32 was 9th, but as I was watching I was wondering where the hell that 20-19 Giants-Bills SB was…#1, fitting, that was one hell of a game.

We Broncos fans always suffer in "tough decisions" by east coast a-holes.
Verbose in style, dispersion of thought, procrastination in life.
The artist formerly known as ZAPPA
Peter King debunked the East Coast bias in his previous MMQB, Zap. I bought it.
Check it:
Bias, schmias.
If you want to criticize the decisions the 44 voting members (including me) of the Pro Football Hall of Fame make Saturday in Dallas for the Class of 2011, feel free. We deserve to be put under the microscope. But you’re going to have to do better than blaming whoever does or doesn’t get in on New York bias, or East Coast bias, or whatever kind of regional bias you might think we have as a voting body. It’s silly, and as someone who’s been in the room for nearly two decades, I can tell you it doesn’t exist.
I’ll give you as much proof as I can. First, let’s look at the voting results in the 11 classes in this century.
Hall of Fame selections since 2000: 61.
New York players/coaches enshrined: 2 — Harry Carson and Benny Friedman.
California players/coaches enshrined: 13 — Howie Long, Ronnie Lott, Joe Montana, Dave Wilcox, Jack Youngblood, Jackie Slater, Dave Casper, Marcus Allen, Steve Young, John Madden, Fred Dean, Jerry Rice … and I’ve given George Allen and Bob Brown a half-California apiece since, roughly, they coached and played, respectively, for half of their careers in California.
East Coast (Washington to Boston) players/coaches enshrined: 7.5 — Andre Tippett, Art Monk, Darrell Green, Harry Carson, Benny Friedman, Russ Grimm … and George Allen, Bob Brown and Reggie White half apiece.
If that’s New York bias, then I’m doing a pretty poor job of getting my guys in. George Young, Bill Parcells, Joe Klecko, Paul Tagliabue (a New York guy, if you consider a New York-based commissioner one) … zippo.
Now for the exact regional breakdown of voters. Each franchise is represented in the room by a voter, and there are 12 at-large voters, totaling 44 in all. Let’s look at the voters on the Eastern Seaboard, and then the California voters. For fairness, I’ve assigned three voters who have recently moved (Ira Miller, Peter King and Len Shapiro) to the places they worked for the vast majority of their careers:
New York region (Teams: 2 — Giants, Jets)
Vinny DiTrani — N.Y. Giants
Gary Myers — N.Y. Jets
Dave Goldberg — At-large (New York area, covered NFL)
Peter King — At-large (New York area, covered Giants 4 years, then NFL)
California region (Teams: 3+ — Raiders, 49ers, Chargers and Rams, 1946-94)
Nick Canepa — San Diego
Frank Cooney — Oakland
Nancy Gay — San Francisco
John Czarnecki — At-large (Orange County, covered Rams, then NFL)
Ira Miller — At-large (San Francisco, covered 49ers and NFL)
Jim Trotter — At-large (San Diego, covered Chargers, then NFL)
So do the math:
Two New York-area teams, four of the 44 voters from New York (if you count me as a New Yorker) … 6 percent of the teams are from greater New York, and 9 percent of the voters.
Three California teams (I don’t know quite how to count the Rams, who have been gone for 16-plus seasons), six of the 44 voters. If you count three California teams, and it’s a difficult thing to do, because two Los Angeles Rams have been voted in since 2000, that’s 9 percent of the league from California, and 14 percent of the voters.
Now let’s say you don’t think that’s fair, because California’s a big state, and you think to compare apples to apples, you ought to add in the rest of the Washington-to-Boston megalopolis. Fair enough. Then you’d add four more teams (New England, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington) and six more voters. The six voters: Ron Borges (New England), Paul Domowitch (Philadelphia), Scott Garceau (Baltimore), David Elfin (Washington), Jarrett Bell (at-large, Maryland) and Len Shapiro (at-large, Washington).
So the six teams on the Eastern Seaboard from Washington to Boston are represented by 10 voters, and the three teams in California by six voters.
Study the recent results, with as many Oilers (two) and Broncos (two) as New Yorkers since the turn of the century, and if you’d like to continue harping on New York or East Coast bias, you’re welcome to do so. But you’d be wrong.

That's what I'm wondering...
The DP said he’s in, but they just announced a 5 player cut.

Bowlen prefers offensive-minded head coaches. He likes offensive minds because he likes his team to have star power at quarterback. He's not a stout-defense/run-the-ball kind of owner. It's a sound, core philosophy. Football franchises are about winning, first, but they're also about entertainment.
(Klis has his days where he's an idiot, but I liked definition of Mr. Bowlen.)

For the media to play that way (if it’s true) is why there vote should be taken away.

“I’ve got so many emotions,” Sharpe said by phone, a few minutes before the announcement. “A part of me wants to scream. A part of me wants to cry. I’m just a skinny kid from Georgia. I’m going to the Hall of Fame. Not to the Hall of Very Good. The Hall of Fame. I’m in the Hall of Fame with Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice. I caught a pass from Joe Montana in a Pro Bowl. Now, I’m in the Hall of Fame with him.”

We’ll never know how big an impact you had, but I know it was major. Well done.
