    It means the (Super Bowl winless) Vikings of the 70s have twice as many linemen in the Hall than the four-time champion Steelers. Tingelhoff-Yary-Page-Eller / Greene-Webster.

    So what?

    Everyone of those guys are IMO worthy players. There's more to a team than linemen. The Vikes don't have 2LBs to 2 WRs. If you look at total HOFers, the '70s Steelers have more guys than the '70 Vikes, and rightfully so.

    This is why Im soooo glad the Bus got in this year. Im really tired of hearing him dumped on, poo poo'ed, and pushed aside. Finally the discussion is over and can be put to rest.

    Is this the same Tinglehoff and Yary that was on that dominating OL producing a robust 17 rushing yards in our first SB in NO? I have no problem with these dudes getting in but, Mean Joe wasn't the only guy they were TRYING to block. Mad Dog and definitely LC should warrant stronger consideration. Enough of the BS......we the HOF can only have so many on one team crap. I've seen that SB countless times and Greenwood was in the Viking backfield more than Foreman was.

    This is my point. I am not saying Tingelhoff and Yary are not HOF worthy. But if THAT is the standard, and these guys got destroyed by the Curtain, it's an epic WTH!!! from me.
