You know the drill, its that time of year when the anti-Cowboys biases are validated. Today at 1PM CST we will find out if any of our Cowboys Legends get inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. We all know who votes, and its a extremely flawed and illogical way to vote in NFL players.
Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, and Rayfield Wright should all get in, unfortunately, I'm predicting that Aikman will be the only one inducted; however, I would not be surprised if none were inducted, as outrageous as that may sound it is a possibility. NOTHING is guaranteed today. Let's hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
From NFL.com>>> Charged with the vital task of continuing to be sure that new enshrinees are the finest the game has produced is the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 39-man Board of Selectors (see list below).
The Board consists of one media representative from each pro football city with two from New York, inasmuch as that city has two teams in the National Football League. A 33rd member is a representative of the Pro Football Writers of America and there are six at-large delegates. (Read More)

• Troy Aikman
• Michael Irvin
• Rayfield Wright
• Reggie White
• Warren Moon
• John Madden
I predict the HOF will vote these six players:
• Troy Aikman
• LC Greenwood
• Art Monk
• Reggie White
• Bob Kuechenburg
• John Madden
and the HOF voters could also be pussies and only vote in 4 players as they did last year, which would not surprise me either
Good Luck Cowboys, either way, you know where you stand in Dallas Cowboys lore.
