I'm sure there's a tipping point somewhere of having so many Steelers players from those teams in the Hall that it makes sense to evict coach Chuck Noll - because with that many Hall of Famers, even a chimp could win 4 Super Bowls! (come to think of it, the QB was Terry Bradshaw so)

Nice. If we could evict players from the Hall, wouldn't OJ be gone?

[Judge Jude]

nobody wants to piss off OJ - nobody

Lol, you would have to "evict" a lot of head coaches from the HOF with that kind of thinking. BTW, Bradshaw was the MVP of Super Bowl XIII & Super Bowl XIV.

What a joke. Shell was very good, but come on now. The Hall of Very Good. sigh

[chancellor]

Outside of Alex Karras, I gotta agree with Mith on the other nine - very good, but hardly Hall worthy. If they were going to choose an Eagle from that era, Stan Walters should have been the guy, hands down. Typical for the Hall - and the Seniors are every bit as guilty as the regular voters - they chose the player with name recognition who was good, but hardly the best, even on his own team in that era.

Donnie Shell still holds the NFL record for most career interceptions by a strong safety with 51.

And Karras (and Paul Hornung) were suspended for an entire season due to their admission that they bet on NFL games. Pete Rose, banned for life; Alex Karras & Paul Hornung, HOFers.

[Judge Jude]

"strong" for Shell because free safety Paul Krause had 81 picks.

also conveniently not mentioned is that INTs are at all-time lows. if Donnie Shell played his career in the 2010s, he'd be lucky to have 20.

I mean, maybe all of the best baseball sluggers played in the early 1930s, or.....

Maybe the HOF is not good at math.

It's likely what kept Karras out, along with the failure of the Lions to win a championship since before I was born. And the lack of Per the Rose and Karras/Hornung comparison - both received the punishment at the time the league commissioners promised if they bet on games.

After a 50 year absence, the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl. And coach Andy Reid gets another chance for a ring 15 years after coming up short in his first chance.

hope SF can win the superbowl. I said jimmy g could do it. it's a good organization.
