Jimmy Johnson wasn't one of the 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame last week as opposed to a year ago. But some feel like he crept closer to Canton, anyway, with the selection of Tony Dungy for enshrinement.
Two Super Bowl rings are better than one, right?
Not so fast.
Meanwhile, Eddie DeBartolo's selection does seem to open the door for a fellow owner with an armful of Lombardi Trophies who has been much more active in league matters for the last quarter of a century.
Don't worry. I think it's possible for Jerry Jones to make it to Canton without ever placing himself in the Ring of Honor.
