Ray Guy Makes Top 25...

I am delighted to say that Ray Guy has survived the first of three eliminations! He is accompanied by 24 other NFL legends, and it will be a dogfight til the end. I will be looking forward to seeing who makes the second cut that will take place on January 7th, 2010 (this will be a jump from 25 to 15). However the list increases by two when you take into account the Senior Nominees of Dick LeBeau and Floyd Little. Be sure to keep the votes going on Voice Your Choice, send e-mails to the committee, write letters and let the Selection Committee know who we want enshrined come 2010!

Semifinalists to be announced Saturday...

Hey guys. The semifinalists for the class of 2010 will be announced on the NFL Network on Saturday. Be sure to watch "Road to Canton" at 1 P.M. I know I will be praying to hear Guy's name being said on the upcoming list and eventually on the final ballot! It has been exciting to see the votes pour in to the "Voice Your Choice" sponsored by "Van Heusen" regarding whom the fans would like to see get inducted into the upcoming class. Here is how the top 3 currently looks:

1. Jerry Rice - 19,791 votes
2. Emmit Smith - 16,832 votes
3. Ray Guy - 12,343

I have been absolutely ecstatic to see the fans of all teams place Ray Guy behind the greatest wide receiver to ever grace a football field as well as arguably the greatest running back! Not too shabby! It's great to see others share in the enthusiasm to get Guy in the Hall and I will be looking forward to the announcements on Saturday. Only time will tell!
