ALL HE EVER DOES IS NOT GET INDUCTED:  The fifteen finalists for induction for the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, up to five of whom will be selected, are RB Jerome Bettis; WRs Tim Brown, Cris Carter and Andre Reed; OLs Larry Allen (1st-time eligible), Jonathan Ogden (ditto), and Will Shields; DEs Charles Haley and Michael Strahan (first-timer); DT Warren Sapp (ditto); LB Kevin Greene; CB Aeneas Williams; and Bill Parcells, Ed DeBartolo, Jr., and Art Modell. Semifinalists missing the cut include Morten Andersen, Terrell Davis, Steve Tasker, and Paul Tagliabue.

[My ballot, I guess: Brown, Carter, Allen, Williams, Parcells. But there's a lot of good choices.]
