About time. It is a shame they couldn't have done it while he was alive. That is much to the NFL's discredit.

As far as I'm concerned, the HOF lost a LOT of credibility by denying him for so many years. It's WAY past due.

Drew Pearson needs to be in the HOF also.

No doubt this is long overdue but the thing that is the saddest is that he didn't live to enjoy it. I am sure that his family and friends will hide it but will have a little bitterness because of it.

Aint that the truth. As great as Roger The Dodger was, he owes much of his success to Drew Pearson. Nobody could run an out route like Drew. Even when the DBs and everyone in the stadium knew what was coming, they could make it work nearly every time.

I agree also. Tommy Nobis needs to be there too. At one time he was considered one of the top three linebackers in the NFL.
