you mean to tell me that he did not get voted in until after he passed away- what a total f----g disgrace. just one more reason i hate the national felon league
I was fortunate to see Kenny on the field at Alabama but also on the field in the NFL. It was a tragedy for this not to have happened in Kenny's lifetime but I'm thankful it did occur in Coach Madden's. Someone else rightly pointed out the HoF got this one wrong and I couldn't agree more. Lov ya Snake!
The fact that the Snake had to Wait for this lets folks know the Hall of Fame voting is political......otherwise the voters are truly challenged in more ways than one
The thing about Stabler, more than any other QB I have seen, you always felt the team had a chance until the end. He was the first and perhaps the best of the 4Q comeback, at a time when offenses were not designed for it.
So many great football and baseball players are overlooked for the Hall of Fame by writers, while the players are still alive and kicking. I don't know who picks the football players but guys that never played the game still pick the baseball players. It's a terrible shame Kenny Stabler was not able to give his own acceptance speech to show how grateful he was to Bear Bryant and John Madden. The only quarterback to ever start for both coaching legends and he died before they let him in the Hall.
This kind of stuff kills you, doesn't it. Lol. As a college QB, I got the rare chance to scrimmage, sweats only, with the Raiders, some of whom I spoke with face to face. It was a trilling day for a young man.
The HoF is pathetic. Why did he not get honored in his life and why isn't Jim Plunket in. I could name at least 12 ex players who should never be in there and at least 12 who should. The HoF is a politically motivated joke. And if they have to have a HoF, at least get a sculptor who produces a passing likeness to the individual concerned. You have to read the name tags to see who the heads are supposed to be.
They kept Snake out of the hall too long! What a travesty not to be elected while he was still with us! Shame on the hall, and we missed what would have been a great acceptance speech!
The NFL got something wrong. Pittsburgh didn’t win the championship in 1972. They were defeated by the Dolphins the week after the immaculate reception. Pittsburgh wouldn’t win a Super Bowl until 1974.
I love the Philadelphia International sound (Gamble & Huff) better than Motown & that's saying something. Outstanding version of Billy Paul's "Me & Mrs. Jones". Daryl Hall has soul. Love this version.🎵🎶
Travesty that Kenny Stabler wasn't alive to accept the phone call that he so richly deserved. The MLB HOF did the same goddamn thing to Ron Santo, the greatest 3rd baseman in Cubs history, and statistically equal to, or better than, every 3rd baseman of his era, that already had busts in the HOF. Assholes inducted him after he died. I'm guessing Ron jumped up and clicked his heels when the NFL committee inducted Kenny. RIP both of you. Both deserved the accolades while you were alive to appreciate them.
Misheard info: the rinkhals is NOT the most dangerous spitting snake in the whole of Africa, that would be the mozambique spitting cobra, black-neckned cobra, zebra spitting cobra and the giant spitting cobra
