From ESPN: Bill Parcells was a winner everywhere he coached. Time and time again, he took over struggling franchises and showed them what it takes to be a success, including a pair of Super Bowl titles with the New York Giants.
Parcells pulled off another victory Saturday -- election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Getting in on his fourth try after being eligible in 2001 and 2002 and again last year, Parcells led an induction class that also included mouthy defensive lineman Warren Sapp, prolific receiver Cris Carter and a pair of stalwarts from the trenches, offensive linemen Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen.
The class of 2013 also included a pair of senior selections, Curley Culp and Dave Robinson. The announcement was made in New Orleans, site of Sunday's Super Bowl. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8908467/larry-allen-cris-carter-jonathan-ogden-bill-parcells-warren-sapp-inducted-pro-football-hall-fame
I grew up watching Dave Robinson play and so I am glad he got in. He was a heck of player. He actually should have been in the Hall earlier.
I hated Sapp as a person, but as a football player, he was a great one. Cris Carter kicked many teams butts. Curley Culp was a great player. I'm not sure of Allen and Ogden because I just don't remember them, but I am sure they belong.
So,congrats to the class of 2013, you deserve it.
