I think Vic has said that halls are not defined by who gets in, but by who is not in. There are so many guys that have gotten in recently that are ok, but not legendary or central to the tale of the game's history.

I can remember going to the Hall as a kid, and being amazed at the hall of heads, legends upon whose shoulders the sport was formed.

I now walk past guys like Cris Carter, Willie Roaf, Curtis Martin, and think to myself, "Are these guys really legends in the sport?" Do they belong in the same room as Jim Brown, John Unitas, Anthony Muñoz?

Forgive me for being conservative. If Tony (or Fred, though unlikely) makes it in, I will be happy for them. I just don't want it to be due to a technicality, an asterisk forever associated with their recognition.

Oversaturating inductions for one year only matters if it's filling the HOF with non worthy players.

The HOF isn't going to lose prestige by letting in people who should be in. The entire goal of a HOF is the pursuit of the above i.e that the best players in its history are remembered as such
