The Pro Football Hall of Fame has officially announced that Jim Marshall will be enshrined. This long overdue recognition validates his legendary durability and contributions to the sport. I appreciate your commitment to honoring his remarkable career.
The fact that Jim Marshall has not been elected into the Hall of Fame has gone on long enough. Now is the time to get Jim Marshall into the NFL Hall of Fame. His uniform is already there and on display! It has been for years now! The NFL Hall of Fame acknowledges Jim's accomplishments. Why else would they have his uniform on display I am creating a petition to sign by every Viking and Football fan who truly believes this man needs to be in the NFL Hall of Fame. That's the only way to get in. Our goal is to get them to listen to our cause and ultimately elect Jim Marshall into the Hall of Fame.
Jim retired after 20 NFL seasons and holds NFL records for playing 282 consecutive games, over 300 including playoff games. 20 consecutive seasons without missing a game, 270 consecutive games with one team, 19 consecutive seasons with one team without missing a game, 29 fumble recoveries and one wrong way run (the longest safety in Pro Football history).
Jim's career marks are as follows; 409 games (pre-season, season, post season and pro-bowls), *1050 + tackles (league and post season games), *133 + sacks (league and post season games). Jim was captain of the Vikings for 17 years. His teams won 11 Divisional Championships, 1 with the Cleveland Browns and 10 with the Minnesota Vikings. He played in 4 Super Bowls. PLAYED EVERY GAME! INCREDIBLE!
The time is now for this incredible man to be enshrined into the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame!!
Please sign this petition so we can get started on Jim Marshalls trip to the NFL Hall of Fame!
The momentum behind this petition is increasing as we approach our next objective. Please invite colleagues who appreciate the legacy of Jim Marshall to add their names to this request. A strong showing is essential for our presentation to the committee.

When there is only one other player (continuously) mentioned in the same sentence as Brett Favre...well, that says enough.

Jim Marshall is THE origninal Iron Man! He needs to be in the HOF. I lose more and more respect for the game and those voting each year this man gets overlooked.

I watched a lot of Jim's performances and he should be ranked among the top D linemen ever. The efforts to keep him out of the HOF are cruel and obviously political. Come on guys, it's time!!! Do the right thing.

His many accomplishments should speak for itself, not a petition. And the fact that this must be resorted to proves the inefficiency of the HoF committee.

Needs to happen. This is shameful that he is not there.
