Hall of Fame update

Earlier this week, former Rams Marshall Faulk and Jerome Bettis advanced to the final 17 candidates under consideration for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer. They are joined by linebacker Les Richter, who makes the final list as one of the recommendations of the senior committee.

Aeneas Williams, Kevin Greene and Don Coryell did not make it to the final round, but, thankfully, neither did Paul Tagliabue, Edward DeBartolo or Art Modell.

The rest of the finalists: Tim Brown, Cris Carter, Dermontti Dawson, Richard Dent, Chris Doleman, Charles Haley, Chris Hanburger (senior committee nominee), Cortez Kennedy, Curtis Martin, Andre Reed, Willie Roaf, NFL Films founder Ed Sabol, Deion Sanders, Shannon Sharpe.

My votes would go to Faulk, Sabol, Martin, Dent, Carter, Sanders and Bettis.
