I hope Ed Sabol makes it!

Its almost a crime that he isn't in the HOF yet. Him and his son have documented the history of the NFL. Give the man his dues.

I agree he should be in but the problem is the system they have to work with. Only 7 per year can be inducted and contributers are included in that number. I think they should be seperate and allow the voters to place 1 contributer per year.

Contributers to me should be the anyone that made their name outside of their playing days if they played.

Terrell Davis doesn't belong in the HOF.
