Shout out to Barton, Guiterrez, and Hadley for spending their last season in Independence. We came up short, but it was a **** of a try.

Announcing the Hall of Fame class of 2032
Brian Langton, CB, Washington Redskins/Kleinmachnow OrangeCrush
Brian Langton is a no doubt hall of famer and possibly the greatest defensive back of all time. He has the all time record with 73 interceptions (and four return TDs too!) He had at least 3 interceptions every season. He was a premier cover guy. His only blemish is that he played for a lot of bad teams and only made two trips ever to the postseason.
Marvin Lane, WR, San Francisco Demons
Marvin Lane put up most of his monster receiving numbers in just four seasons. People forget that he started his career as a running back in Atlanta, and that he was also a 1000 yard rusher twice! He scored 103 touchdowns in his career and was a speed demon until the end, with his highlight season being his 2500 yard, 28 touchdown campaign in 2028.
Max Dicken, DE, Boston Biscuits/Arkansas Thrashers
Max Dicken retires as the fourth leading sack master of all time, with 97 sacks. He also batted down 14 *****. A key cog in the Thrashers defense over the years, he retires as one of the biggest winners of all time, with 5 championship rings to his credit.
Charles Johnson, CB, Kansas City Chiefs/Wilmington Argonauts
He was a defensive stalwart for years for many bad Kansas City teams. His 43 interceptions is among the all time leaders. He also had 843 tackles, but was not as well know because he only appeared in the playoffs once.
I can't imagine a punter ever making the hall of fame. In the NFL there has only been one punter ever to make it. Arthur Johnson isn't anywhere near the career leaders in punting average, punts in 20, and net punting.
As for kickers, there could be a kicker in the hall of fame one day, but we are talking about someone who would need a Morten Andersen type career. Anderson had 84 50+ yard FGs, and 565 field goal makes. I'll also accept an Adam Vinatieri type 599 field goal makes, plus postseason clutch. Right now, the player with the best claim to be a "hall of fame kicker" is George Miles, formerly of Arkansas. 510 field goal makes, 104 50+ yard field goals. Not far behind is Michael Taylor formerly of Los Angeles with 500 field goal makes, 105 50+ yard field goals. Miles has 92% accuracy and Taylor 91%. If someone came along with better numbers than those two guys, maybe he would be a hall of fame kicker. Or maybe I will reconsider in a few seasons down the line and let those two guys in. But it will hard for punters and kickers to get in by my standard. Also hard for tight ends. The best tight end in the history of our league just retired, and did not make the hall of fame.
lol it was worth a try. it was a failed troll post since I just realized both of those guys retired and spent their entire careers with me for the most part.
It is already evident that the Mogul Hall of Fame has strict criteria.

Those two definitely worthy of inclusion.
Miles also won 5 total championships (4 with Arkansas and 1 with Indianapolis).

Introducing the hall of fame class of 2033:
Robin Diener, OL, Green Bay Packers/Houston Oilers/Golden Dragon
Diener played 14 seasons and is regarded as possibly the best guard of all time. In his career he only allowed 24 sacks and stood up years of the billyvan offense, where he was repeated asked to pass block.
Wright had over 1000 tackles, but also accounted for many turnovers, with 33 career INTs and 14 forced fumbles.
Robert Appleton, DT, Indianapolis Colts
Appleton was one of the final "original" players from the 2017 season. In his long career, he amassed 75 sacks and 689 tackles, most by any defensive tackle ever, to go with 182 hurries. He will probably be best remembered as a defensive line anchor for the Colts' Super Bowl winning team, where the defense carried them to victory.
Gary Hickerson, LB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers/Rapid Valley Shadow Dancers
Hickerson was a tackling machine (995 tackles) that also played great coverage (31 career INTs). Often the long defensive standout on some bad teams, he also had 14 forced fumbles and 126 knockdowns.
