(S33) PT 4 - HoF
Complete the weekly Point Task to earn 3 TPE! All written responses must be at least 150 words. PT's may be submitted in another language, if you mention what language you are translating into, to make the job of the grader easier.

Do not claim this TPE until it has been graded and posted to the S33 claim thread. This task is due next Sunday, February 6th, 2022 at 11:59 ET. Have fun and get writing!

Written option: With Hall of Fame Nominations opening to the public a while back, there is more chances for public input into the hall of fame process. Talk about players/GMs/Users that you think deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, either someone that has already retired or a player that is still in the league. You may not talk about your own player (player hof) or yourself (user/GM)
For reference, the link to the public nomination form is here: https://forms.gle/EPkpoB4awQCgsyq87

Graphic option: Create a graphic displaying a player that you think should make the Hall of Fame.

Also, if you try to build your word count by being super repetitive and rambling on, you will not get full credit. If you are caught plagiarizing/stealing someone else’s work, you will be punished as HO sees fit, including the potential loss of TPE or money. Do your own work please.

I guess at this point I’ve been around for a bit, but I don’t feel well versed enough to argue for particular players who are on the hall of fame-fence.  However, if I’m to give it a go, I’d have to argue for my first ISFL quarterback, Brock Phoenix.  By the time I made it into the big leagues with Philly, Brock was towards the twilight of his career.  Still, despite a roster in flux and management changing, Brock delivered the goods as he tried to drag Philly to the playoffs himself.  Besides his leadership ability, Brock also has some incredible counting stats.  In fact he holds the record for highest completion percentage in a season at 70.3%.  The only QB to have ever ended the season above 70%.  Although it’s difficult to tell where his numbers stack up all time (I’m not great at finding retired player stats), his 152 carreer touchdown passes are only 46 behind 10th all-time.  His 27,467 passing yards are about 4,500 yards behind 10th as well.  Essentially Brock was about 1.5 good seasons away from easily being recognized as a great.  There were 3 QB’s who played an extra year past Brock’s 8.  Further, the top-10 completion leaders of all time has 4 players that are still playing.  Clearly the game and the rules have changed to a more favorable layout for quarterbacks.  I know he’s been moved off the ballot, but he’ll always be a hall-of-famer in my heart.  We love you, Brock!

This is pretty easy - Bruce Buckley! This bad man started of his career with 7 (!) straight Pro Bowls. He is leading in all time pancakes and even in the later stage of his career he is still balling! Last season he was on record setting pace but somehow he stalled in the last 2 games of the season with 0 pancakes. Otherwise this record would have been his...
Bruce managed to win 2 Ultimus championships, both with Yellowknife. He managed to win OLOTY twice in his career! In his 11th season he is currently trying to win his third championship and the odds are very good for him and his current Team, the Baltimore Hawks. Btw, even in year 11 he is on pace for 130 Pancakes again this season! We'll see if he can break the record this time round. Sadly he missed out on a OLOTY nomination last season due to his blanks in the last two games of the season. His high of 4 sacks given up also didn't help his case. He should be in the HOF as soon as he retires. Maybe he will retire this season after another championship win? Who knows, all I know is, he should be in the HoF!

In my view, there are so many players worthy of getting into the hall of fame, yet, very few get into it. I see one player fitting of a hall of fame sig, and that is Tatsu Nakamura. He is currently second all time in career rushing yards at 13,146 yards, not far off from the record currently held by Sam Torensen. He also holds the career rushing touchdowns record with 150, a record that won’t likely be matched anytime soon. Tatsu was also a serviceable wide receiver when you needed him to be, as he had 4,218 receiving yards and he averaged 9.2 yards per catch, which made him one of the deadliest two way running backs in ISFL history. He somehow only averaged 4.5 yards per carry, but he could defeat you not only with his rushing, but also his receiving abilities too. Tatsu should be a first ballot hall of famer, and also be a unanimous vote.
