    Will he go? I say he is the best punter of all time, I just don't know if he'll get the respect to be put in the Hall of Fame. My vote is Yes, what is yours OT?

    I say NO.

    You'd think that anyone who made the NFL's much-ballyhooed 75th Anniversary Team back in 1994 (not to mention the Super Bowl Silver Anniversary Team of 1990, the league's All-1970s team, and the officially chosen AFL-NFL 1960-1984 All-Star Team) would be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame, right?

    Except all-time punter Ray Guy has never made the trip to Canton and into the hallowed halls; the former Oakland Raider added to his long list of career achievements the status of first "pure punter" ever nominated for the Hall of Fame back in 1992. The committee again selected Guy for the short list in 1995, '97, '99, 2002 and last year.

    No way! Dude is a punter, and has only been in the NFL for 9 years. I'd say if he has any shot he'd have to play another 14-16.

    He's not the best punter of all-time... and if Ray Guy isn't in the HOF, no punter should ever be in.
