Tim Brown has missed out on the HOF this year.
From ESPN.com
DALLAS -- Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk lead a class of seven voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Joining them are Shannon Sharpe, Richard Dent, Ed Sabol, Les Richter and Chris Hanburger.
Sanders, the outstanding cornerback/kick returner and sometime wide receiver known as "Prime Time" with five teams, is a two-time Super Bowl winner and Defensive Player of the Year in 1994.
Faulk won a Super Bowl with the 1999 Rams, was the 1994 Offensive Rookie of the Year, 2000 NFL MVP and a three-time Offensive Player of the Year (1999-2001).
Sharpe held league records for a tight end in receptions, yards and touchdowns when he retired in 2001.
Bears defensive end Dent was the MVP of the 1986 Super Bowl and finished with 137½ career sacks.
Richter played nine seasons as a linebacker for the Rams and Hanburger spent 14 seasons with the Redskins.
Well........at least Chris Carter and Andre Reed (and Jerome Bettis) missed out as well and how Richard Dent made it over any of these three is insane to me.

HOF in my opinion
I believe if you have the numbers, which Carter, Bettis(might get in next year), Reed, and Brown all have, they should get in. If you look at their career and compare the numbers they had with other players in that era that they played, they should be in. PERIOD!!!
I’m sick and tired of the constant snubbing of good players that deserve it. The HOF is becoming a joke for me. It might be a bigger honor if Al Davis honors him when the league refuses to give this man the light of day. Do It, Al for all us Raider fans.
HOF = Raider Haters. With so many on the ballot year after year, and year after year they are overlooked.
As pathetic as it is sickening.
The NFL Hall of Fame is a complete joke.
Tim Brown is one of the best receivers of all time and has the stats to back it up. Same goes for Jerome Bettis and Curtis Martin. So stupid. Thank god i’m a baseball fan first. Much better hall of fame process.

Really?
Same shit, It’s all politics. There has never been a 100% vote for a player in the baseball HOF process, even for Rickey Henderson or Reggie Jackson. Who could refuse them based on their stats? Some voters refuse to vote for a player on the first run, regardless of who they are. Others refuse to vote for a player based on where they played.
The process is fucked, in all sports.

Yeah for real
The politics in the baseball HOF could be considered worse.

Al's never retired a player's jersey before. If he retired Tim's now he would make his contempt of the NFL leadership felt

True...
but Al’s stance on not retiring jerseys is one of middle fingers to the league. No player is above the game, period.
Have no fear, Tim is a HOF player, but it will take a while. They always try to fit in old school guys as well as current players to round out the HOF class.

i was just talking with a couple people over at Soutsidesox about this...
We basically agreed that Tim Brown not making the hall of fame is about on par with Ken Griffey Jr being denied by the baseball writers. Its absurd.

There is no doubt whatsoever he belongs
And every year he isn’t a part, it diminIshes what the hall represents.
You’re already in amongst Raider Nation, Tim, and always will be.

Tim Brown will get in
There are very few that get the first ballot votes. I hope they take into consideration his special teams play as well as the receiving stats. He is a HOF for sure, but give it a few rounds.

Agree
I agree with all of these comments but I’m not so much worry about Tim Brown gettin in as I am bother by the fact that all those Raiders of the past are just keep on been push further back for no reason for so ever their numbers and contributions are not going to change at this point in time, I understant that the guys picked recently had very good abilities at what they did but at the same time at least 2 of this guys ( Sanders and Sharpe) were the biggest “CLOWNS” of their time and maybe just maybe their clowning around got them more nototiry and therefore more points. BROWN,BRANCH,PLUNKETT,FLORES,HAYNES,STABLER,WERE NEVER “CLOWNS” THAT’S FOR SURE. GO RAIDERS!!!!

Brown, Branch, Hayes (Not Haynes), and Wiseniewski/Stabler all belong in the Hall.
Flores and more specifically Plunkett….not so much.

The BS politics of the HOF...
need to be changed..
chris carter, reed, and tim brown will all make it
why make them wait?
I guess irvin was a 3rd ballot
so brown being a thrid ballot wouldnt be so bad
but damn.. if anyone deserves to be in there its ray guy!
I think maybe
Irvin took that long because of his “legal” issues and “drug” stuff. He also played less years than all of those guys which is fucked.

I Hate Dion Sanders....
him getting over Tim Brown makes me sick. Lousy showboat who cudn’t tackle…
>:=8/
Whoya finna try?
Deion was a merc.
And a lousy TV personality. He can’t go through one segment without talking about himself. I’d love to hear somebody tell him that Bo was faster, stronger, and a better athlete than he was to his face. Actually, I’d like to be the one to do it.
"I'm surrounded by assholes. Keep firing, assholes!"
I just don't understand...
I was young when Brown played, but it always seemed to me that he was only second to Rice in terms of the wide receiver position in his career, then again, everyone was second to Rice.
He was a fantastic player, and yet he gets the shaft. Then I watch games now and over rated players like Hines Ward are frequently mentioned as future HOF players when they retire. How would someone justify putting Ward in and leaving Brown out. I gues thats the price Brown pays for playing for a team the league hated instead of a league darling.
