Every pro football fan is familiar with the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Each year, a select group of men who are former players, coaches, or executives goes through the nominating process, then the gradual weeding down stage, and finally to the voting cognition.
Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees are elected by a 49-person Selection Committee, which is revealed near the Super Bowl. One Selector is located in each NFL city plus there are 17 additional “at-large Selectors.” Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer is one of these at-large voters while Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland is the Browns’ Selector.
