Default Everyone NEEDS to visit www.littleinthehalloffame.com !

I was surfing the net and found this gem:www.littleinthehalloffame.com -- dedicated to getting "The Franchise" in the Hall of Fame. It's a fantastic site and pretty new with just one posting.

My question is, does anyone know who developed the site? There's no mention of a "contact us" or anything. Just "Powered by Goozmo Systems."

Please let me know if you do. I think we can add to it by listing the Seniors Selector voters with their names and addresses, etc. Plus add some facts why Floyd is a Hall of Famer, 7th all-time rusher in NFL history, etc.

With just one Hall of Famer in Canton, we need to get Floyd in there. Voting for Seniors Candidates like Floyd are this August. Most of these writers make up their mind who they're putting in by early June. There are so many fans on Orangemane we should be able to flood the voters mailboxes with a push for Floyd.

Also, if someone knows how to "sticky thread" this so it stays at the top of the postings, please do so.
Thanks!

Done.

As far as I'm concerned, the HOF is a joke without Floyd there and I'm never going back until they put him in.

This is great. Please keep signing the guest book on www.littleinthehalloffame.com

I saw that Marcantonio Photography of Broomfield, Colorado, and Umberto Auto Sales of Louisville, Colorado, are sponsors. Perhaps they know the person who put this great site together.

We joke about Irvin in the HOF. But, seriously, what does that say to our children! That you can be a scumbag drug-dealer off the field. But if you win some Super Bowls by playing on a talent-rich team the Hall of Fame will embrace you. The NFL seriously has to reconsider their stance on the criteria for the HOF.

Like baseball, I think character should play a huge role in induction. Floyd Little not only retired as the 7th all-time rusher in NFL history, he was perhaps an even better person off the field.

Seriously, does anyone know how to "sticky" this so it stays at the top of the forum? I'm an old guy who knows nothing about computers, blogs, or attaching documents to email. On a personal note, I can only eat oatmeal and I wear diapers.

Keep it going for Floyd: www.littleinthehalloffame.com

Please sign the petition. "The Franchise" deserves to be in the HOF!

Pretty funny for a guy who openly admitted he never cared about team history.

"These guys are all meat on a hoof to me".

It kills me to watch you stink up every thread on the board.

Now your Floyd's number one fan right?

Holy crapppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone help me with something here. At that website there is a photo gallery of Floyd's pictures.

The photo that is second from the right is one that means an unreal amount to me!!!

You can tell from the background of that photo that is Mile High Stadium, due to the obvious fence that used to front the funny shape of the North Stands at Mile High.

The only year that Denver wore the orange pants with white jersies at home was 1971, and the 1971 Oakland at Denver game was the first Broncos game that I ever watched. The colors of the day just roped me into it and I loved the Broncos reddish orange pants color.

I have never been able to find a great photo of that game, but that is a great one.

Does anyone know how to make a great enlarged copy of that photo on photo paper?? I would love to hang a great copy of that photo in my basement shrine.

To clarify it is the phot with Floyd getting his facemask tweaked.

Thanks for any help.

Don't know how to make an enlarged photo of that, but I've seen that photo before on the PRO! Game Program from 1972 when Floyd Little was on the cover. It was a great 5-6 page article with some great shots. Sometimes they sell it on eBay. I always thought it was taken at Oakland, but I could be wrong.
