The price per head bookie community will readily admit that nothing Bill Parcells did while with the Cowboys was particularly Hall of Fame worthy. But a head coach that takes two different franchises to the Super Bowl puts up a strong argument for inclusion into Canton. The story of Charles Haley is a little harder to understand. Haley was a five-time Super Bowl champion, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, had 100 ½ sacks in his career and is already on the Cowboys Ring of Fame. Many would argue that if Haley does not qualify for the Hall of Fame, then what defensive player does?

What has kept Haley out of the Hall of Fame to this point is the attitude he displayed during his playing days. He often spoke out against coaches and took steps to divide locker rooms. It was hard to predict what Haley would do from game to game, or even day to day. The media loved Haley’s sound bites, but team management and players who were often the target of his verbal assaults did not appreciate his candor. Still, with five Super Bowl victories and five Pro Bowl appearances, many think that it is Haley’s on-field performance that should matter and not his ability to disrupt a team.

A bodog review of the Cowboys’ 2011 season shows a team that had several chances to win the division but could not get the job done. During Super Bowl XLVI, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo kept fans updated on what he was doing and what he was thinking by Twittering before and during the game. Romo expressed frustration that another Super Bowl was being played that the Cowboys were not part of. Romo indicated that Cowboys’ fans should look forward to 2012 as there are great things coming up for Dallas. Several of Romo’s teammates also tweeted that they feel confident about next year and are looking forward to the start of training camp.

Rookie running back DeMarco Murray is making headlines with his confident talk and rapid pace towards recovering from his injury. Murray assured fans through Twitter that it is not a betonline scam to expect him to be ready for training camp to open in 2012. Murray indicated that he is progressing ahead of schedule in his injury recovery program and he was one of the Tony Romo teammates that indicated that the Cowboys’ fans can be confident about 2012.

Hayes was almost inducted in 2004, however the conglomeration of stupidity that is the Hall of Fame induction committee failed to let him in, no doubt due to the fact that he was a Dallas Cowboy.

Some have argued that Hayes was undeserving of induction, like this moron. (Quick tip, saying someone doesn’t belong in the Hall of Fame, after saying they changed the game of football in the same sentence makes you sound stupid)

A quick review of Bob Hayes’ athletic career will show how stupid that idea was.

Bob Hayes started out his athletic career as an excellent sprinter. He won the NCAA National Championship in the 200-meter dash in 1964, and was later named to the U.S. 1964 Summer Olympics Team.

At the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, Hayes won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash while tying the world record at 10.0 seconds. He later topped this feat while the anchor of the U.S. 4×100 meter relay team. In a come from behind win, Hayes led the U.S. to gold in the event.

After the 1964 Summer Olympics, Bob Hayes was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. It was thought by many a controversial pick for the Dallas Cowboys however, in his first two seasons in the NFL, Hayes led the league in touchdown receptions.

Bob Hayes had an impressive career in the NFL. With the Dallas Cowboys, Hayes was named to the Pro-Bowl 3 times, won 5 Eastern Conference Titles, 2 NFC Titles, and helped the Dallas Cowboys to their first Super Bowl win, in Super Bowl 6 in 1971.

Even more impressive was the way Hayes revolutionized the game of football. The zone defense was developed because of Bob Hayes. His flat out speed meant no one player could cover him, forcing defenses to double team him, which opened up the field for the Dallas Cowboys run game. While his career began to fade as more teams used the zone and bump-and-run, these schemes were developed in part as a response to him.

Bob Hayes has always belonged in the NFL Hall of Fame. On top of his impressive career, he has won the ultimate prize in two sports. Thank goodness the Hall of Fame Selection Committee finally got this one right.
