I say it's about time Carter got in. Andre Reed got passed up AGAIN!

I still can't figure out how Warren Sapp made it in before Andre Reed.

if it wasn't for his toe injury Ogden could have been in the conversation for best LT ever
[/quote]

Even with the injury, he's easily among the best LTs. Anthony Munoz and Walter Jones are the only guys I'd put up against him.

[/quote]Agreed, but the injury cut his career short

Congradulation to one of the most dominant LT of all time: Jonathan Ogden.

Can't wait to see him wear that coat and get his bust with the greats! Well deserved.

OMG the jacket!!! His jacket is going to be HUGE!

Bet he gets booed by the Cleveland morons, like Shannon did.

Probably .. they're really gonna get salty tomorrow when they realize there's a big, black circle with "Art" in the middle painted on the Ravens side of the field at the Superdome.

Well, look at what they have

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
and The Clevland Browns

Remember when Deion Sanders played for us?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaack dang it how could I forget Neon???? DOH!

[AsianRice]

Totally BS!.....well Cleveland, your selfishness will be buried with your losing record and forever playoff and SB drought....


However, looking on the bright side, this disappointment news will motivate our coaches and players to the fullest; they will play beyond human capability to take home Lombardi trophy for Art, Ray, and the Ravens nation!!!! Reach out for Art Justice!!!

Seriously I forget too. He was a role player.

But still "It's prime baby"

[T3hRaven]

I figured JO would get in, he's arguably the best LT of all time. There's still too much bad blood for Modell to get in though.

I'd say:
1. Munoz
2. Ogden
3. Jones

Its the curse of Art. Unless Cleveland helps get Art into the HOF, their city will never win another SB. The die has been cast.
[/quote]

Agreed. Until Art is inducted, I hope Cleveland remains at the bottom, exactly where their fans feed.

I hope they whoop the Steelers ahead of being #3 spot in AFCN. Steelers can dance in mud for a good decade

Cleveland hates Art so much, they banned this store:

If I were a Browns fan, I would be more angered about the mismanagement of the current Browns franchise than with Mr. Modell, which is only one playoff appearance in 15 years. They would have been changing their tune if they had a winner in Cleveland with the current franchise.
[/quote]

yep

[ghost1986]

Makes me so sick that they snubbed Art. They really do not like us. Oh well. Just motivate us even more to win this game. I know our guys are going to come out this much more on fire. I'm happy for Ogden, but snubbing a guy who just passed away? Who made a smart decision to move to a stadium that wasn't leaking. I can't talk about this anymore. Makes me mad. Can;t wait to rub the Browns' faces in our victory tomorrow night.

Exactly, tired of the whining from fans and sports writers from Cleveland about our team being theirs. Get over it, they have their history, name, colors, cry me a river.
[/quote]

Not even that, it's like...it's been 20 years, grow a pair. Get a competent front office, stop drafting a new QB every year. They make it sound as if their FO just sits there going "THOSE DAMN RAVENS! LETS SUCK, THAT'LL SHOW THEM"

[tctony]

Congrats to JO! Definitely miss his presence on our OL. Pretty amazing that the first two Ravens drafts picks are on their way to the HOF.

[JohnnyBoy8102]

Congrats JO!

It would be nice if there was a separate contributor selection that didn't count towards the 5 players that could get in each year.

[ravensdfan]

Just short of perfection on Saturday.

JO - into the Hall of Fame
Ray Rice - Play of the Year
Torrey Smith - Never Say Never Moment of the Year


Don't worry Art. We'll keep fighting for you until we win.

Now, let's go get that win for Art Ravens.

That's right! Modell will be happier if we win the Lombardi over him getting into the HOF. Come on, Ravens! Play with this chip on your shoulder! Play for Art, because he DESERVED to be in the HOF!

congrats! our J.O. is in the H.O.F.

J. O. made it... Ray's next... then Ed to follow

Saw this amazing stat in Peter King's MMQB:

Love the offensive linemen. What's great about the current crop of candidates is that most of the 46 candidates in the room have seen Jonathan Ogden dominate pass rushers from the quarterback's left side. [b]What I really appreciated about Ogden was his, for lack of a better phrase, clean play.[/b] [b]He had 13 false starts in his career and 13 holding penalties. How incredible is that?[/b] And guard Larry Allen was a Hannah-type road-grader. I thought both were easy calls.

Wow. True legend.

One of my favorite moments last night was when they introduced him in the very beginning. JO by far got the highest applause from the crowd. And then the guy that was introduced after him was like "Well Damn" because his wasn't nearly as close as JOs. Everybody was laughing so hard.
