This is one of my favorite times of the year, when the Pro Football Hall of Fame announces the 25 modern-era semifinalists for the following year's inductions. Mostly, I love the debates. Because it's pretty incredible that we are talking about the best of the best to decide who is going to get that ultimate honor of wearing the gold jacket. And honestly, every player we're about to mention here was amazing in his day. There is no doubt. But sometimes you have to make some tough decisions. And this was the case for me, as I went about deciding my personal rankings of these semifinalists.
