It would seem to be dead solid perfect that there is a bias against granting members of the Dallas Cowboys into the NFL Hall of Fame.

I've had a bias against the Cowboys since Drew Pearson pushed off on Nate Wright in the 1975 NFC Championship Game :)

But that said, I am surprised that more Cowboys aren't in the Hall. We had the same problem with the Vikes, but since they won only one NFL championship and no Super Bowls, it's perhaps easier to understand.

It took nearly twenty years to get the NFL's all-time leading interceptor, Paul Krause, honored. It also took too long for Carl Eller (25 years) to get the honor that was his due. Fran Tarkenton also didn't get in on the first try, and since he revolutionized the quarterback position on the way to setting a number of records, that was a shame too. One of the best defensive tackles of all time, Alan Page, needed seven years.

Hey, if the Ref didn't see it, it is a touchdown!

That side, Drew Pearson, is another Cowboy who deserves a place in the Hall.

And you are correct that the Vikings count there is low due to only one NFL championship and no Super Bowls wins. Yet I think I heard several current Vikings are going into the Party Boat Hall of Fame...

Me too.

Remember the 70's Guindon cartoon of the woman asking two guys (her husband and son) looking glum on the sofa: "Why do you guys enjoy all the Vikings games except for the last one?"
