Why is Floyd Little going in the HOF?

agreed, but Gradishar (much as i hated his arse) deserves it more than Little. Gradishar was a friggin beast, although i question the stats credited to him. tackles weren't an official stat and the donks claim he AVERAGED 204 tackles/year over his 10 year career - hmmmm....

in the prime of Little's career, he had a 4 year run where he averaged 965 yds/ season and 4 yds/carry (GOOD numbers, especially in the AFL) on consistantly TERRIBLE donko teams. but the rest of his career was 5 seasons with around 2500 yards total.

That is also why I will NEVER visit the HOF, because it is a popularity contest more than anything else.

maybe so, but it wasn't always. and besides, that doesn't diminish the fact that a TON of HISTORY, and a TON of RAIDERS are in that place.

i encourage you to change your mind. the HOF IS a human endeavor, and as such is NOT perfect. but don't let the perfect be the enemy of the great.

and the HOF is a great place (IMO).
