"For the past seven years, I've had the privilege of doing the live radio show during the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions in Canton, Ohio. When the ceremony comes to an end, I always feel like the selection committee got it right. The voters have a very tough job.

I feel that way tonight, after the announcement of the Hall of Fame Class of 2012. Those six men all deserve the honor.

But it's still hard to look at some of the men who didn't make the cut and think they don't belong, as well.

The snubs

» I really thought Bill Parcells would get into the Hall of Fame on his first attempt. There may have been a sentiment in the voting room that Parcells might work in the NFL again as a team president, which would've made some voters reluctant to put him in Canton. There also will be some speculation that Parcells rubbed some of the media the wrong way during his career, derailing his chances of first-year election. Obviously, I hope that's not true. All I can say is the two-time Super Bowl winner -- and the man who helped turn around the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins -- deserves to be in Canton."
