Ok so what do you think...If he screws up this time do you think he will get in???? he has messed up san fran ,Philie and I will say that not everthing in Dallas was all him (but I hate the Cowboys :D) so if he messes things up with the Bills do you think this will count against him for the hall??? I think so...if he screws up another team I think he is out.....what do you think????

Based strictly on football, he's walking off the field and into the Hall of Fame. My guess is though, all his side games off the field is going to have a lot of people not voting for him.
I think it will be close. A move to a team like the Bills, could see a serious drop in production...not giving him the pad on the stats he needs in the next couple years - last years. But you're probably right. However, there is no way he will be a first ballot hall of famer. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes up to 10 years for him to make it. I say that because of the lack of a championship and career stats that are very good, but not great overall.

i think he deserves it, it may take him a few years after eligibility because i believe those didn't have on field and off field issues deserve to get in first... but i believe he will be in the HOF at some point, regardless if he screws up in B-Lo or not... he deserves it...
Yeah, I think this is a realistic outlook on it. Although, I certainly would argue that he "deserves" it. I personally don't think think he does....yet.

Look at all those Hall of Famers who were far less productive than him.

Some say he's a jerk, I say he's entertaining.

First ballot all the way. It's about football and stats, not about personality. If he doesn't get in, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is nothing more than a joke.

His numbers definately put him in the Hall. Its too bad he is as big of a distraction also. Im not a TO fan, but I guess he could be doing worse things. At least he isnt shooting up nightclubs and beating up women and getting caught with drugs like many other NFL players are.

I think he will be there, eventually.

I think this falls right in there with the whole "Pete Rose" controversy...The hall of fame is supposed to be based on the athletes accomplishments on the field, right? that being said, i think it would be unjust if TO was not admitted or voted into the hall of fame due to his amazing ability to be a self righteous, outlandish, cocky person...the hall of fame is not supposed to be a personality contest...

regardless, i think TO is a total moron, and far from a role model...but he is a great athlete.

I wasn't saying Irvin wasn't derserving of the Hall, I was just trying to put this debate in perspective...He was great on the field, and a complete dirtbag off.
I'm not trying to argue period. And I see everybody's point. Just debating is all, it's all good bro.

Like I said, I think his numbers are good but I still think he needs a ring and and some more padding in order to be a first ballot hall of famer. I don't think that will happen. I think he'll go, but not for a while without those things. At the time of his induction, Marino led/owned the record books in nearly all QB stats only thing missing was a ring. But he was at the time...the best all time stat wise. Owens does not and will not go out at the top of the all time WR list in the same dominant fashion that Rice and say Carter did. So....I think he'll have to wait.:D
