Attempts to post this from San Francisco were futile . . . better late than never . . .
SAN FRANCISCO _ Ken Stabler wasn’t around to see it, but the Raiders quarterback was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday night at the NFL Honors show at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
Stabler, who died in July due to complications of colon cancer at age 69, was one of two senior nominees inducted along with former Washington and Detroit offensive lineman Dick Stanfel.
The NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1974, Stabler was a finalist three times in 1990, 1991 and 2003 but never made the final cut.
