The CFHOF has the least transparent selection process of any Hall of Fame. We don't know who the selectors are, what criteria they use, or really anything other than who gets announced each year. IMO, if there is a grudge being carried against DK, it's related to the way his life unfolded after football. It's no secret that he got heavily into drugs. According to his brother Sherman Smith, he had cleaned up his act before cancer took him at way too young an age, but it wouldn't surprise me if his older ways are behind his failure to be inducted alongside Greer, Fernandez and Williams.

There are many other snubs, of course. Don't get me started about Leo Cahill, who despite failing to win a Grey Cup as a head coach was the greatest promoter in Cdn football history, and one of the best recruiters ever.
