Peters may not be 1st ballot, but I can't imagine the argument against him getting in the hall. He has dominance + longevity. He has a ring. He's immensely respected. He plays a premium position. What exactly is the argument?

His resume is already better than Orlando Pace, who has been elected.

That was always the argument for Eric Lindros -- once Cam Neely got voted in, Lindros had to be in -- better player in every single way.

Oh man, someone posted a picture of Ronnie Brown in the comments throwing the ball backwards. That goes down as one of the dumbest plays I've ever seen. 

 

And to think I use to be called a troll...and that numbnuts mod 5 ,banned me

Some of the garbage I see here is textbook trolling.

I honestly dont think anyone should be banned, just learn to scroll....but damn some of the stuff I read here, is nuts.

And I have been a member here since 2004.

Yup, and there is no T that was a 2020 nominee that has a similar resume besides maybe Lomas Brown. Even looking at OL as a total only Faneca has a better resume, and he'll already be in by the time Peters is elligble.

And, we'll see what Ken Flajole is capable of as a LB coach. 

Ken Flajole may be the second best position coach on the team, although after Stout, Peelle, might give him a run, but Peelle has high draft choices, Stout and Flajole don’t get that luxury with most of their players. Look at all the low draft choices and UDFAs that Stout and Flajole have populated across the NFL.

You weren't a troll, and then you were a troll, and now you seem fine. That said just what do you view as trolling right now?

Most fans tend to exaggerate how good our good players are from time to time, but yeah there is absolutely no way Peters isn't a lock for the hall.  16 year career (so far), 9x pro bowl, 2x 1st team all pro, 4x second team all pro, all at arguably the most important position outside of QB.

Being a bucs fan isnt a troll,ditto cowboys gints etc....just keep things clean

There was and still is a bunch of sensitive posters....thankfully from what I have seen ,by those in charge here,  they dont have time for the childish complaints to the mods. 

 

Kudos to them, get thick skin or leave.

But keep name calling and cuss words, elsewhere.

 

Mod 5 was the pits,  I think  he had a insecurity complex. 

That said  I tried getting my 2004 name back, thebeastfromtheeast but ,its not working

It's become more loose. Which is good IMO

There's been problems with the blog going off topic but it's kind of expected with what's been happening this year

so, I'm confused...are you back to being an Eagles fan?

Semi-local news, University of Delaware suspended all fall sports, football included, as did the entire CAA, one of the most prominent if not most prominent FCS leagues.  Gentleman, I don't think we are seeing any fall college football.

This is more or less where I'm at.  I don't watch nearly enough recent films to be able to say who the best actors are.  Living actors I guess I would say Dustin Hoffman, De Niro, Tom Hanks (although he gets great roles more than I think he's a great actor), Pacino.  Some actors are great in certain roles -- Jack Nicholson in The Shining, Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade, etc.

Some of my all-time favorites are Henry Fonda, William Holden, Spencer Tracy, Laurence Olivier, Marlon Brando, Randolph Scott -- those were actors that I would tune into a film just because they were in it.

Tom Hanks is a Jimmy Stewart.  

Like your list of all time favorites to which I would add Bogart.  And that list is incomplete without Kate Hepburn on it. She and Bogart are so damn good in The African Queen, loved her with Tracy in just about everything, and she with Fonda in On Golden Pond.

No still a bucs fan first,born and raised in philly, birds fan next.

I'm not shallow ,I can take in many football opinions.

Which movie was it where Bogart went nuts with greed over gold?  That was an excellent performance.  

Casablanca is still an all-time classic with a great cast.  Sydney Greenstreet was very good in that and The Maltese Falcon

Again, so...nothing I have said warrants a warning...if his feelings are hurt, he needs to rein himself in. 

You need quality mods, I'm willing to pay/chip in  for them ,if VA  goes that road.
