Congrats, Swannie!
Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 2001

"Lynn Swann was an idol. It would amaze me how he could fly through the air and make those catches. I'll never forget the one versus Dallas. It was the greatest catch I've ever seen."
-- 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice --

Lynn Swann Super Bowl X - All 4 Catches

This never gets old to me. :) This video is a compilation of all 4 of the great Lynn Swann's catches in Super Bowl X, including the often overlooked "3rd catch." One thing is certain: Nobody made more from limited opportunities than Swannie. IMO, this is still the greatest Super Bowl Performance by a wide receiver.

Sidebar: Take note of the fantastic blocks by Rocky Bleier on both deep throws. He flips D.D. Lewis on his head on the first one, then sends Cliff Harris head over heels on the second.

Lynn Swann DESERVES to be in Canton

"I have a hard time putting 19 Steelers in the Hall of Fame,"
-- Peter King, misguided HOF Voter

Lynn Swann is an immortal. He possessed so many intangibles... singular abilities which no other receiver before or since has demonstrated. Swannie was the greatest big-game receiver of all time, hands down. He defined the position for a generation of players and fans. Yet, he is being excluded from the Hall of Fame by a misguided, stats-driven voting panel.

The Hall of Fame isn't just about "how many," it's about "HOW." It's the stage on which the player performed, his impact on the game, the style with which he played the game, and the legacy he left behind. Swann's induction into his rightful place in Canton is long overdue.

CLICK HERE for more of my heated views on this exhasperating situation, and don't miss the extensive FAN COMMENTS section.

Note: Lynn Swann was FINALLY officially inducted into the Hall of Fame on Aug. 4, 2001.
