Top 50 New Orleans Saints
A soccer player as a teen in his native Denmark, Morten Andersen, came to the United States as part of an exchange program. Just for kicks (pardon the pun), he tried kicking a football, and he was excellent at it and would play as a senior in High School. It got him noticed by Michigan State, who gave him a scholarship. That led to him being drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the Fourth Round in 1986.

Morten Andersen 2017 HOF Debate

Hall of Fame Debates
Here we are in the National Football League playoffs but for us that it means it is time to discuss the potential class of the 2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Finalists have been announced, and along with regular contributor, Spheniscus, we will go back and forth with each candidate and openly debate as to which player would be a worthy Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee.
Committee Chairman: Spheniscus, I am going to kick this off (pun intended) with the all-time leading scorer, which in any other sport would mean automatic entry. In Pro Football, that doesn’t mean it at all, and we have Morten Andersen, entering his fourth year of eligibility.

Please note that we do not rank Coaches.
With the large amount of players it is hard to perceive that there are any snubs, which there isn’t.
In November this group of 97 Modern Era Nominees will be reduced to 18. In January of 2017, it will be shrunk to 15. They will join the Senior Finalist and Contributor Finalists and on February 4, the day before the Super Bowl, the respective committees will decide the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2017.
You know we will be paying attention!
Let’s get right to it and take a look at the complete list.

Please note that we do not rank Coaches.
With the large amount of players it is hard to perceive that there are any snubs, which there isn’t.
In November this group of 97 Modern Era Nominees will be reduced to 18. In January of 2017, it will be shrunk to 15. They will join the Senior Finalist and Contributor Finalists and on February 4, the day before the Super Bowl, the respective committees will decide the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2017.
You know we will be paying attention!

Hall of Fame Debates
Last month, regular contributor, Spheniscus and I debated the Hall of Fame merits of those who were on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot.
Now that the Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2016 has announced their class has done the same. We were hopeful to do this prior to the announcement of the actual inductees, but life, as it often does simply got in the way!
Saying that, we felt it was worth our time to take a look at the 2016 Nominees and debate whether they should have gotten in (or not) and look to the future of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
