ENGLEWOOD—If the Pro Football Hall of Fame were a popularity contest, there would be no reason for the contributor committee to gather Friday and submit one candidate for final ballot election.

Pat Bowlen would be the no-brainer choice. Rubber stamp. Skip the election and go immediately through Canton’s doors.

The Talk of Fame Sports Network, which is produced by three Hall of Fame voters – Rick Gosselin, Clark Judge and Ron Borges – recently conducted a poll asking who should be the HOF contributor candidate for the class of 2018.

Here are the results of that poll:

It's absolutely STOOPID that Jones got in instead of Bowlen. But there were politics involved. :tsk:

3. When Broncos were fumbling under McDaniels, Bowlen fired him and brought Elway back.

2. Elway was being traded and Bowlen stopped the deal.

Pat Bowlen saved Broncos three times. His predecessor wanted to double season ticket prices and cut Gradishar salary in half. That was 1.

Never heard this before, but I assume this is what Woody meant when he said Elway was being traded.
