Former Cowboys WR and ex-Olympian Bob Hayes makes it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the class of 2009, though passing away at the age of 59 battling problems with his liver and prostate cancer on September 18, 2002.
This announcement has come to be very late; well after he’s been eligible to be inducted into the Hall during recent years, especially for the 2004 class. Many questioned why he wasn’t able to get in that year. There were and still are rumors of how the committee handles votes, on how they might have a certain bias voting in Dallas Cowboy members.
That just isn’t right, especially to a certain few Cowboys that are exceptionally deserving of the honor and that are still long awaiting. Though the last of the “Triplets” in the ‘90’s era shouldn’t have a hard time getting in.
Emmitt Smith is who I’m referring to; being the NFL’s leading rusher with 18,355 yards, 164 career TDs, and don’t forget the 3 Super Bowl Championship rings to go with it; he’s definitely getting in on the first ballot.
That's only if people are just in their right minds to vote him in instead going on the Cowboys-bias.
