What hurts Sestak is a short career though, which affected a number of AFL players like Hennigan, Philbin, Keating, Burford, Haynes, Wells and others ...

[rewing84]

Wouldn't affect Philbin brian as he played 10 years

[Brian wolf]

Philbin was actually a more consistent pass rusher than Klecko but by 1970, his shoulder problems had him a shell of his former self and he just hung on ...

Its going to be exciting to find out the senior nominee on tuesday ...

My Top 10 Seniors

Howley ... still waiting
Tyrer ... still stigmatized
Wistert ... two way credentials
Gradishar ... should be nominee for 2022
Lewellen ... may never make it
Howton ... longshot
Branch ... sooner than later
Craig/OJ Anderson ... the most deserving backs
Martin ... the all-time postseason sack leader according to Turney and Co
Brito ... should have gotten voted in over Sprinkle

Unfortunately, many of those guys will wait or never make it.

Thanks John, hoping Wistert as well ...

wont happen this year for him

[rewing84]

I dont think it will be craig because he just got into the pool and I dont think it will be branch because they nominated Pearson as the senior wr and I dont think they will do a senior wr 2 years in a row my final five would be howley nobis gradishar riley klecko

Could be any of those---would be interesting if Howley got it with a Cowboy (Pearson) getting it last year, but it could happen, could even be Branch--really it will liekly be one of the names we know, that have been close recently, could be Meador doing well, even if he doesn't get it, hearing he could get some suppert
