Yes it is. Keep in mind that it isn't run by the NFL. It's a private corporation.
So cool to see him on MNF talking to the Manning brothers.

He was more focused on the game than other guests.. he gave some hints about what the Packers were doing, but it might have got drowned out when PeyPey and Eli's were talking as well..or they were focused on the next play.

I enjoy Peyton and Eli's feed... not sure if I'd watch it when the 9ers are playing though....I haven't decided yet.

They're in the 49er fans HOF.

Hall of fame should be for players who we're considered one of the best at their position for a period of time Imo. Not just because someone played for a long time.. That's just my view on it though.

That and can you mention the position without them? I don't think you can talk about all the great LB's of the 2010's without mentioned Pat as the one who ushered in the new breed.

Before Pat Brian Urlacher, Ray Lewis, Takeo Spikes, London Fletcher were you prototypical MLB's. Big, physical guys who played number to number.

Pat brought speed like it'd never been seen. He made it sideline to sideline. Allowed us to play softer over the middle because he could attack the checkdown with speed and violence.

He was the first of Luke Keuchly, Bobby Wagner, Fred Warner, Demarco Davis, Lavante David - they're all in Pat's mold.

HOF without a doubt.

To be fair Ray and Willis were the same size ran similar 40's. Urlacher was also a 4.5 guy who could pass rush.

I don't think I could watch the game with them on because it would be distracting.

But I wouldn't mind a rewatch with them if the 49ers won, haha.

I enjoy them.. was pretty rough with Favre and willis came on.

Won't have to worry about which broadcast to watch the game as i will be there
He's a finalist again! Hopefully he can make it through this time.

I don't think he was even a finalist last year. IIRC he was left out of the top 15. Glad hes made it to the final voting. The class isn't particularly strong with obvious guys, so hopefully he stands out.
I know I will get stones thrown at me, but I don't think he should be in the HOF. Of his short 7-year career (nobody counts 2014) only 3(2007-09) was he truly elite, Argument can be made that Bowman was the better linebacker during those Harbaugh years.

just my 2 cents

Agreed. BY should be in but PW just didn't do enough. Pretty strong class also. Doubt he gets in this year.

How can you say that Willis didn't do enough? He was a 5 time first team All Pro. What more do you need him to do?
