Course, just cause I don't bow down to the anti's must mean I'm a homer.
Dude, you have an interesting warped memory. I assume you're talking about the HoF forums discussions, and if so, go back and re-read things. Yes, the CPL hype machine caused a lot of guys to get recognition that didn't really deserve it when you looked deeper. But so did other teams and agents out there. I'll leave out specific names of dots that we talked about, but I respected your arguing with me back then as you were one of the only ones doing so. I feel like you made me analyze deeper some dots that I maybe hadn't before. Unfortunately, not everyone on the committee did the work we did to give an honest vote, and we got a crappy list filled with more names than quality dots. Sure, it's not a terrible list, but it could have been much better. I never said none of those players were as good as they were made out to be. Hell, I can think of one dot that was better than I thought going in, and that I ended up voting for (she didn't make the final list). Not sure when you got this much hate for me, but I've always respected your opinion even though you were consistently coming from a different perspective than I was.
