I just saw a blurb that Clayton and Kooch are finalists for next year's senior class admission to the HOF. Yes, I'm a homer big time. And of course I'm biased because I've seen both of these guys play a lot of games, on TV and live. But I'm tellin' ya, they both need the recognition.
Unfortunately Kooch would be a posthumous induction as he passed away a few years ago, but better late than never. The guy was a beast. Played with rods in the marrow of his forearm, with broken arms. Absolutely manhandled the Vikings' HOF DL Alan Page during SB VII...I could go on and on. (and I usually do).
Clayton was one of the Marks brothers receiving duo in the 1980s (the other being Duper. Most of you reading this will remember Clayton more, as he played more recently (but damn...still a while ago). He should be a shoo-in as well.
I generally don't care about awards in too much, but this would be such an honor for these two guys and their families.
Best of luck to them both.
