"I always thought it was a travesty that guys like Ed Sabol had to wait so long to be enshrined and that a guy like Steve Sabol STILL isn't in. You could make the argument that the Sabol's were the most important contributors to the NFL in the last 50-60 years."
... soon to be 100 years.
The worst part is that now he will go in under that "contributor" blanket which is truly diminishing what he did

And it seems to me that that is what "contributor" should mean: Someone who contributed to the NFL in toto, not someone who, like Wolf, simply contributed to the success of an individual team or too. (And Art Rooney didn't even do that! He simply owned what was the worst team in the NFL until his sons took over.)Hail Casares wrote:I always thought it was a travesty that guys like Ed Sabol had to wait so long to be enshrined and that a guy like Steve Sabol STILL isn't in.
