It is crazy Kenny is not in the Hall

In my opinion, none is more deserving than Kenny. Unfortunately our opinions count for nothing.
That's a pretty tough list actually. Unfortunately the committees over the years have Ken Riley'd Otis Taylor, and he passed away in March of this year. He should have been in a long time ago. Randy Gradishar and Tommy Nobis are really strong LB candidates on the list. Kuechenberg is a solid choice. Lester Hayes, Joe Jacoby, and others will make this an uphill battle for Anderson. He seems to be one of the most frequently mentioned snubs over the last several years, so maybe that'll play in his favor.

They were already making excuses for the Hall on NFL radio as they think Anderson will not get in, again, this year...... "Well, there are so many deserving players they may not want to go back to another Bengal since they just voted Riley in......" Of all the BS excuses...
I have personally never been to the HOF and will not go until Kenny Anderson is in there.

31 feels like a lot of semifinalists, doesn't it?
They couldn't have narrowed down the field further before announcing who was a semifinalist?

You never know. The Bengals aren't the same rug mat team that's been so easy to dismiss over the years anymore. With the high profile of Burrow, etc., it might just be what gets Kenny in..

I always liked Lester (Raiders players were big all around when i was growing up) but i always ran around as Mike Haynes, back in the day.

Those Raider teams were awesome back then. I liked every one of them. They were the only AFC Team who interrupted the Steelers Dynasty of the 70s.

It's been said a blue zillion times so why not a blue zillion and one? If Kenny had played for any one of a dozen other teams he'd have been in quite some time ago.
Just hoping they finally see the light with him.

I'm suprised that Henry Ellard, Roger Craig, and a few others weren't in Canton already. Also, how is Robert Kraft eligible already? Do owners not have to have a certain waiting period after owning a team to get in?

Because eggs smell bad in the summer and if it's all over the football, the QB is gonna wanna get rid of it ASAP, which means more picks for Lestaaaar.
