Two former Buffalo Bills enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame today:
:: Joe DeLamielleure, one of the members of the great "Electric Company" offensive line that plowed the road for OJ Simpson during the 70s.
:: James Lofton, who was the Bills' number two receiver and deep threat during their first three Super Bowl seasons.
That's two Bills from the Super Bowl teams -- Lofton and QB Jim Kelly, inducted last year -- to go into the Hall. Future years will see Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, and Bruce Smith certainly inducted. I also would not be surprised to see Kent Hull, Darryl Talley, and Cornelius Bennett in the Hall. And of course, as a biased Bills fan, I think the Hall would be incomplete for all time if they don't induct Steve Tasker, the game's greatest special teams player ever -- but I'm not sure if that's enough to get him in, as an "objective" football observer. We'll see.
