Bad News Bear: No Hall For Dent

Former Chicago Bear great Richard Dent will have to wait another year before entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame as, despite being a finalist, he was not among the six people elected to the Hall this year. Dent played 12 seasons with the Bears (1983 - 1993, 1995) and was a four-time Pro Bowl selection. Oh, and there was that whole Super Bowl XX MVP thing, too. The six people elected to the Hall this year were Bruce Smith, Rod Woodson, Bob Hayes, Randall McDaniel, Derrick Thomas and Bills owner Ralph Wilson.
