On February 1st, we will learn the names of the men who will go on to be inducted into professional football immortality. I am very excited about Ray Guy's chance of making it into the hall this year; the announcement can't come soon enough!
Many feel that this is finally the year that Guy's name will be called, and if so, would have the distinction of being the first ever pure punter inducted by the Hall. Ray is most deserving of such an honor, and I believe the Senior Committee has recognized this.
It's time for Ray to receive the call.
