Well.. its called "Fame" because of something.... Kim Kardashian could be in there as well... o better yet, Gisele, she is famous and football related... after all we saw her face a lot of times during the super bowl...,

Vote him in based on at MNF game against the Colts

[Iowachargers 70]

While he had some great plays for the highlight reel, he was not known for his tackling skills. In fact, he avoided having to tackle anyone whenever possible.

Hardly a complete player.

I can think of some other Chargers (Jamal, LoNeal, Sproles) that are far more deserving, outside the obvious (Rivers/Brees/Gates).

You just summed up Deion Sanders career.

So did Deion

Sanders could shut down any WR any Sunday or an entire side of the field.
While a self admitted situational tackler his cover and return skills are indisputable.

Deion Sanders wasn’t a tackler. Complete player?

Deion didn't have to be. He was probably the best ever.

Cromartie wasn't even the best Chargers DB. I give Jammer the edge there.

Deion best CB ever, far superior to Cro, plus all of Deion's punt return TD's 6, Kick off return TD's 3, interceptions, 53 int's!! 9 for TD's, played Safety, took 3 years off and stats would be even greater had he played 01, 02, 03, played wide receiver 3 TD's, 21 TD's total! played in World Series and nearly won MVP for Braves had they beat the Blue Jays batting .533 with 5 stolen bases. Best 2 sport athlete ever as Bo was great in NFL but not best RB ever, Bo was so so in MLB .250 hitter as opposed to Deion a .263 hitter.

Totally agree....and yet, my point( and many others!) still valid. Couldn't/ wouldn't tackle.

Jammer was a quiet, invisible Outstanding Shut Down corner that doesnt get the credit he deserves....

Sanders was not a strong tackler, but would be on the short list for the best coverage CB in NFL history. Cromartie was a good player, but not close to the player Sanders was.

[Guest]

No, that does not sum up Deion Sanders' career. Sanders was arguably the best coverage CB in the history of the NFL. Cromartie was an above average CB. It is kind of like the difference between Tom Brady and Carson Palmer.

I know that a player like Cromartie is "eligible" and thats why he is on the list. But if you follow his career - he is not a HOFer so why is he even on some list. In baseball, if you don't get enough votes after year 1 of eligibility, you are done

I think its why I think the Golf Hall of Fame is a good one. And I get they can quantify things. But its solely based on wins and majors. Not a guy giving an effing powerpoint that might sway a voter. Or its not based on a person being a nice guy on TV (Tony Dungy comes to mind) or some other nonsense.
