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.

Wasn't it an open secret that they held a grudge against Hank Illesic because his friendship (perhaps his informant) with Marty York? Or is that just Marty York's own conspiracy? If so, they seemed to have finally let go of that grudge.

Not a huge fan of what seems to be first ballot HOFers. Not sure if they are since the CFHOF doesn't get the same media coverage as the "Pro Football" HOF. But guys like Green, Owens, Dressler all seem way too recent. And the next crop of the first year ballots will be inducted over more forgotten older players. My own head hasn't even processed if Green, Owens, and Dressler are HOFers. But as long as Kevin Glenn doesn't make it, I'll be happy. That will be the day I lose all respect to the voters.

Agreed on Glenn. Let's hope that the day never comes when he makes it in the HOF, with all due respect to him and his longevity in the league.

There has always been speculation about that but who knows? It took ridiculously long for Ilesic to get in though.

Kevin Glenn had a long distinguished career of mediocrity.

Kevin Glenn had a long distinguished career of mediocrity.

Yep; with CFL chance after chance after chance ...

But who are "they"? We don't even know who the selectors are now, much less back when Ilesic was not in the Hall.

I have a few theories in my mind, but as you say without transparency as to the process, I'd just be spinning my wheels putting them down here.

Recall that it took Ray Guy (arguably the greatest punter in NFL history) quite awhile to get his NFL HOF induction though.
