Mott the Hoople

The late great Ken Stabler finally made the hall of fame. It's a mark of the east coast bias and the cluelessness of sports writer that Stabler wasn't elected, while he was still alive, a long time ago. I remember watching him play and that man knew more ways to win a game than Doan's has pills. You could not judge Stabler on statistic alone. He had those intangibles that simply won games. If you want to go by statistics though, Stabler put up more numbers and won more championships than his Alabama alum Joe Namath who was a elected on his first year of eligibility. I'm sure Alabama and Raider fans are pleased but have mixed emotions on the slight of it taking so long.
Good news for Buckeye fans. Orlando Pace made it in his first year of eligibility. He's the best offensive lineman I've ever seen play for the Buckeyes and he played a major roll in the Rams "Greatest show on turf" era.
This also portends good news for Bengal fans as both Ken Anderson and Ken Riley should both be locks to be selected by the veterans committee. Anderson was the original west coast QB, has 4 NFL passing titles and a MVP award and every QB from that era who is even close to Anderson's stats is already in the HoF. With Riley...how could a db who played 14 years with 65 interceptions not be n the HoF?
