NFL HALL OF FAME VOTE WHIFFS ON GUY

I had no problem with the guys admitted to Pro Football's Hall of Fame today. I had huge problems with the Guy who wasn't admitted.

With due respect to the estimable Reggie Roby, Ray Guy was the best punter who ever played in the NFL. He accounted for more net yards for his team than all the Running Backs, Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers who ever played on his team during his tenure. He could also tackle. When Ray Guy punted, there were 11 defensive players on the field against the runback. Rejecting Ray Guy is a statement that no pure punter should ever be admitted to the Hall. If the best ever at any given position can't be admitted, then what's the point of having a Hall.

A really sickening run-up to the Super Bowl.
