Ask Peyton Manning about who is the greatest QB of all time.  Montana and Brady still get figured into the conversation simply because they have mor Rings, even though Peyton has destroyed them in the stat book.

Joe Montana played against tougher defenses and rules.  Joe Montana could also kill a defense with a 3rd and long scramble for a 1st down.  When defenses start to pound Brady and Manning they cry and yell at their offensive lines.  Montana stayed cool the whole time.   ;)

ANyway, my comments were purely as an example, lets keep this conversation about HOF members.

And on the subject of Bany vs Gray.  I would but Bany a very close third but when I think of Contributor, Rob as Designer gets primacy and Doug Gray as Chief card artist seems to be a logical second choice.  His art graces more cards and his presence is about as ubiquitous as any.

Besides, I think Bany can get in as a player or a contributor pretty easy.  it is tough to beat his ENTIRE body of work.  I was just limiting it to one field or the other and giving Gray the edge in contribution due to his tremendous volume of artwork and keeping cards front and center through Three lions for so many years.

Hey,

Gray is the only one I would firmly disagree with. Bany has ran Covenant Games forever, and has helped host almost every national tournament. he also has been the main host a few times. using your stats, Bany has done all Gray has and more. don't forget that he is a center of starting redemption in one of the most dominant states right now.

Doug Gray is the one contributor I considered writing a bio on, but ultimately concluded that I don't even know enough about him to write an adequate bio.  Some of the things I do know about Doug Gray:

Doug Gray was the first playgroup host.

Three Lions Inn (which became Three Lions Gaming) was one of THE Redemption websites back in the day (and if you want to compare it to CovenantGames, has been going 3+ years longer).

Doug Gray was the first person other than Rob to host nationals.

I think Doug Gray wrote the Flaming Sword newsletter (although the newsletter was before my time so I'm not entirely sure on that one).

Doug Gray for a time had the authority to make official rulings.

And of course, Doug Gray was employed by Cactus and did all the art that we know he did.


I sometimes think that some of the credit due to Bill Voigt for MN's dominance in recent years is given to Chris Bany instead.

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

ah, so it does appear that he has done quite a bit.

oh, and I didn't vote for Bany, and had all-wise-everytribe been there, I definitely would have voted for him instead of Berkenpas.

Just about 1 more day to get votes in for this round.  If you've been waiting until the last moment, this is it.  Feel free to check the first post to check out the candidates.

I'd just like to note my reservations about voting for a HOF list that doesn't include Duelin' Dude.

It would be helpful to have 1 more person vote as we currently have a tie between Gabe Isbell (4-time champ and current dominator) and Ron Sias (7-time champ over the long haul).

If it does not affect the first place results, I will gladly vote for Ron in place of my vote for Josh Hey. I mostly voted for in out of a belief that this should be for retired players. Ron would have been my third choice, and if it helps move this along so that Hey can be inducted next year, I am all for it.

Late to the party I'll add a vote for Keith Bartram.
