Kurt Warner/Brett Favre

[TheMacHouse]

I am not a believer that Favre is done but if he really is will this hurt Warner's chances to make it into the HOF in the first year. I still think Warner makes it in but not sure if he will make it in his first year if Favre is on the ballot. Might be better to be elected in a different year from Favre anyway.

I don't really think it matters. In fact, there might be some voters who are tired of Favre's drama and would relish the opportunity to elect Warner before Favre. It's hard to say.

Ya, thats going to happen, Kurt Warner into the Hall of Fame before Brett Favre. Only way that happens is if Brett plays this year.

Obviously it's not going to happen.

I don't really follow the HOF that closely.
What's so special about getting in on "the first ballot" or whatever?

They tell you where to redeem the Tootsie Pop wrappers with the Indian shooting the star, in order to get your free Tootsie Pop.

I follow the NFL religiously, but not so much the HOF. That said, I'm pretty sure the first ballot issue is more aligned with baseball. I don't think football has quite the stuffy, arrogant, snobbish attitude that describes the Baseball Writers of America. They think of themselves as the ultimate experts and judges of baseball talent, so they go overboard to exert power over balloting decisions. Just my opinion, but I've heard a couple of them interviewed.

To answer your question, it's viewed as a badge of honor; a kind of justification of your superstar, dominant status. Warner will get elected regardless, particularly if he wins "Dancing With The Stars"

In football, unlike baseball, they select 5 guys and an old timer every year. The more players that are selected, the better chance Kurt has of getting in, Favre or no Favre.
