15 modern-era finalists for HOF

CANTON, Ohio -- First-year candidates Deion Sanders, Curtis Martin, Marshall Faulk, Jerome Bettis and Willie Roaf are among 15 modern-era finalists who will be considered for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame's selection committee will meet on Saturday, Feb. 5, the day before the Super Bowl.

The other finalists: Tim Brown, Cris Carter, Dermontti Dawson, Richard Dent, Chris Doleman, Charles Haley, Cortez Kennedy, Andre Reed, Ed Sabol and Shannon Sharpe.

Selected in August as senior nominees are former Redskins linebacker Chris Hanburger and former Rams linebacker Les Richter.

The Hall announced 113 modern-era nominees in September. That group was cut down to 25 in November.

A minimum of four and maximum of seven new members will be selected.

C-Mart making it into the top 15 so far and keeps on trucking. Good for him, let's hope he can get this thing done first ballot.

Faulk is one thing, but there's absolutely no reason Bettis should make it in before Martin. Hell, Bettis wasn't even a starter on that Super Bowl team, so I see no reason that should factor in. If Bettis gets in and Martin doesn't, it will be for no other reason than the teams that they played for, which is a joke.

Sabol did a ton for the game and fully deserves to be in the Hall. The voting process just needs to change where non player entries don't take the spot of a possible player.
