Hopefully #53 will make it in this year. There are many Vikings deserving the HOF, Mick Tingelhoff is definitely one of them.

Excellent news. He's the only old-timey finalist, so hopefully he gets in. I still can't believe Marshall hasn't made it. Bobby Bryant too.

A joke if he doesn't get in. Hell, it has been a joke that Mick has been snubbed as a HOF candidate for decades now.

In both cases, they belong in there.

If it's a joke it's not funny. Travesty is more like it.

" He was an AP First Team All-Pro selection for the first of five times in 1964 and also began a streak of six straight Pro Bowl appearances (1964–1969) that season. In 1967, he was named First Team All-Pro by Newspaper Enterprise Association and UPI and Second Team All-Pro by the AP. In 1969, he was named the NFL's Top Offensive Lineman of the Year by the 1,000-Yard Club in Columbus, Ohio.[2] In 1970, he was named First Team All-Pro by both the PFWA and Pro Football Weekly. He was also named Second Team All-Pro by Newspaper Enterprise Association. He was named First Team All-NFC for that season by the AP".
It is unreal that a players with all of his awards and accolades has not yet been enshrined. To think that he was not even drafted out of college is amazing along with the fact that his usual playing weight was app. 235 lbs.. What a truly grat Viking he was

You have that right
And to think that Howie Long made it in and he could not hold Marshall's jock strap
