I dont fucking get it. Jerry Rice? In. Charley Taylor? In. Art Monk? In. Lynn Swann? In. Michael Irvin, despite cocaine and rape charges? In. Cris Carter, the second best receiver of all time? Denied for the third straight year.

Charley Taylor (Class of 1984): 649 receptions, 9110 yards, 79 TDs
Please fucking tell me how you let Michael “Ill do a line off my HOF bust” Irvin in, but you deny someone like Cris Carter who was one of the most feared and dominant receivers for over 14 years?!? I just dont fucking get it.
I guess if you play in Minnesota with shitty ass QBs you dont matter, but when you play in big D and you act like an asshole for 10 years and get lucky with Troy Aikman tossing you some easy ones, its all gravy.
Honestly, this is a crime.
