Wilson,


I believe he has been on the Veteran's committee list for many years but I think the problem has been that there are many good players on that list that didn't get in the first time around! With this list they can only take one player/coach/contributer per year and I do not believe he has made it through to the finals in quite some years! The odd's on favorite to win the Veteran's vote next year will probably be Art Modell but if he gets in I wonder if he would even bother to show up since he is probably the most despised man in Northern Ohio and no doubt there would be a ton of verbal taunting!

My fault, I went back and looked at all of the previous votes and sorry to say but howley has almost 0% of getting into the hall. He has never even made it to the final round of finalist to be considered thus he has no shot! Carl Eller for example had to wait nineteen years before he go elected and was a finalist for thirteen years before getting over the hump! Harry Carson, Lester Hayes and Art Monk have the longest current streaks of making it to the finals but not getting enough votes to get into the hall of fame! In the next two years it's going to be very tough for anyone to get into the hall because in 2005 Marino, Steve Young and Michael Irvin are all eligible and should all get in on the first try. In 2006, there will be quite a logjam as Troy Aikman, Warren Moon, Andre Reed, Deion Sanders, Reggie White and Thurman Thomas are all eligible! Howley is not the only player that has been slighted and deserves to be in the HOF others such as, Bob Kuechenberg, Cliff Harris, Rayfield Wright, Bullet Bob Hayes, Joe Klecko, Ken Stabler, LC Greenwood, Phil Simms and Ken Anderson to just name a few have still not received the necessary support!
