12,1978, in summarizes cage cher a preseason recounts game against the New England Patriots. In a tragic accident that was a result of an entirely legal hit by Tatum, Patriots receiver Darryl Stingley fractured the fourth and fifth vertebrae in his neck Stingley was a quadriplegic for the rest of his life. He died in 2007.I don’t believe that Jack Tatum can be blamed, however emotive and tragic this subject is, because of a hit on a receiver that was entirely legal. Jack Tatum belongs in the Hall of Fame, but no one dares mention his name in the same breath. Steve WisniewskiThe “Wiz” has been retired eight years now, but still somehow isn’t in the Hall of Fame. He was nominated on the 2008 list but didn’t make the final cut.In order to be selected, a player needs to be one of the top players, if not the top player at his position for the time that he played.

Steve Wisniewski played 13 seasons for the Raiders (1989-2001), and in that time he made eight Pro Bowls, and was selected to the NFL’s ’90s all-decade team.Out of 208 possible career games, he played 206, and there are few players in league history that can beat that kind of durability.The only knock on Wisniewski is that he didn’t play in Super Bowls, but many players have made it into the hall without being part of a successful team, as long as they were the best players at their position for the era in which they played cher hot . He was an excellent pass blocker, and a crushing run blocker.In his final year, in a playoff game against Miami, he hit linebacker Zach Thomas so hard when pulling on a sweep, Thomas had to be assisted from the field by two trainers.I don’t think anyone can dispute that during his career, Wisniewski was up there with the elite that were the best at what they did . Dan Dierdorf played 13 years on an unsuccessful Cardinals team, and made only six Pro Bowls; Jackie Slater was selected to seven playing for the Rams . Both are already inducted.So does anybody know another player who has eight Pro Bowl selections and isn’t in the Hall of Fame (well, who isn’t an Oakland Raider)? .

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent PUNTA ARENAS, Chile, Jan 7 (Reuters) – A yellow robot submarine will dive under an ice shelf in Antarctica to seek clues to world ocean level rises in one of the most inaccessible places on earth The 7-meter (22 ft) submarine, to be launched from a U.S . research vessel, will probe the underside of the ice at the end of the Pine Island glacier, which is moving faster than any other in Antarctica and already brings more water to the oceans than Europe’s Rhine River . Scientists have long observed vast icebergs breaking off Antarctica’s ice shelves — extensions of glaciers floating on the sea — but have been unable to get beneath them to see how deep currents may be driving the melt from below . They are now stepping up monitoring of Antarctica, aware that any slight quickening of a thaw could swamp low-lying Pacific islands or incur huge costs in building defences for coastal cities from Beijing to New York . The rate of flow of the Pine Island glacier in west Antarctica has quickened to 3.7 km (2.3 miles) a year from 2.4 km in the mid-1990s. “It’s taken everyone by surprise,” Adrian Jenkins, leader of the “Autosub” mission at the British Antarctic Survey, told Reuters just before leaving this week after preparations in Chile The submarine cost several million dollars to develop.
