He wasn't a HoF'er several years ago but all of a sudden he is now? They couldn't put the guy in when he was alive? ******* hell. T-Rex isn't a Hall of Fame Band (but is). Pete Rose is a Hall of Fame player (but isn't). Hall of Fames are dumb and biased and subjective and generally meaningless. They change nothing about the people who get in or don't get in. They're as much popularity contests as they are true reflections on a guy's career. Never saw this particular player play, before my time. Good he got in. Sad it's after he died (sounds like). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea of the HOF is dumb but T-Rex (which is basically Marc Bolan) def deserves to be in. He started the whole glam rock movement and was literally a rock sensation all by himself for a few years. Bowis ate his lunch buf Bolan was a genuine rock icon. His influence has never wained despite an early death. He made some great albums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Hall will get it right with Klecko soon. They are saying that this wave of retro inductions will be unique to the Centennial. In other words, dont hold your breath for Klecko. If he gets in, it'll be after we are long gone as well as Klecko. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klecko and Revis are the only that spring to mind for me. Revis couldn't hold Klecko's jock strap. Joe deserves to be in the Hall, Revis not at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jago Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 sorry may have been said in one of the previous posts but if Alex Karras can get in with a one-year gambling suspension certainly Klecko deserves it.that said I do understand the ‘fame’ aspect of the HOF and Karras certainly was a colorful guy and i don’t begrudge him the honor.but 73 ? cmon man. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
