I didn't feel that Lewis' play was better than Zach's. I just didn't, both with the stats or the subjectives.

But, Lewis did dances and was obnoxious. So he will get more attention.

And there goes JJ. Jimmy Johnson just got the news on live TV too! Kinda like the HOF doing that to the coaches. Congrats to one of my favorite coaches. Wish he could have brought us a championship but even so.

The hair is going to be immortal now!!!

Snubbed again.

SMH...

The 15 members of the Centennial Class are separate from the ones being voted on in a few weeks. This was a one time extra addition for the league's 100th season. Zach is still up for this year.

Its good for Jimmy, but also oviously unusual for a coach to get in so long after he's been retired. Its now been twenty whole seasons since he last coached a game.

Darn, that makes me feel old. It sure doesn't feel like 20 years...

This is going to be the longest 5 days of my LIFE!!!

THAT makes you feel old?!?

I would love to see him get in, my gut feeling is there will be disappointment.

I think you may be right sadly. Listening to John Clayton today, Zach was an after thought for him. Specifically mentioned the fact that this is his first time up while there are players like Steve Atwater who have been up numerous times.
To me it looks like Polamalu and Hutchinson are in. The WRs are going to lose votes to the competition, Bruce should win that. Leaves two spots for Zach.Boselli and Sam Mills at 16 and 18 yrs of eligibility are going to pull some votes, but they may be relegated to Senior league at this point. Reggie Wayne could get in first time up too.
Zach beat the odds his whole career so I still believe! I'm rocking his jersey all weekend, hoping and praying. #54 for life!

Zach didn't get in. If only he was a piece of shit, he would be in.

Edgerrin James in before Zach.

lol.

That’s horse crap.

Insert profanity filtered tirade here. Edgerin James? Really? He wasn't even in the top 10 of that group.

Time to start a fight. I'm going to find the list of voters and post it here. Start emailing these assholes until they break.

I'm going to drink now. See ya'll tomorrow.

I want Zach in but I still love Edgerin

James averaged 4 YPC. Does that scream Hall of Fame to anyone?

Edge benefitted so much from Peyton Manning it’s ridiculous.. peyton could have gotten the same production from any running back... hell he basically did with Dominic Rhodes, Joseph Addai, CJ Anderson, etc... the difference between them and Edge is that Edge lasted longer, but he was absolutely exposed on the Cardinals.

that presnap nonsense Peyton did would throw defenses off so much, it assisted the running backs in a significant way. There is absolutely no way in hell Edge is a better football player than ZT.

This. James was a great player, but one of the best of the best? Nope.
