NEW YORK -- The hang time is over for Ray Guy. Jabaal Sheard Jersey . The longtime punter for the Oakland Raiders is all by himself once again. After waiting 23 years, Guy is the first punter elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "Good things are worth waiting for," Guy said Saturday night after being elected along with six other players. "Its just a matter of time when it will show up. And I knew it would, sooner or later. It had to, whether it was me or somebody down the road. But sooner or later, it had to show up, because that is a part of a football game." Defensive end Michael Strahan, receiver Andre Reed, defensive back Aeneas Williams and defensive end Claude Humphrey also were part of the class of 2014. Two first-time eligible players, linebacker Derrick Brooks and offensive tackle Walter Jones, were selected. The announcement was made at the NFL Honors award show, less than 24 hours before the Denver Broncos take on the Seattle Seahawks in the first Super Bowl. Among the finalists who didnt get in were two with ties to the Indianapolis Colts and current Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning -- coach Tony Dungy and receiver Marvin Harrison. Each incoming Hall of Famer walked to the stage and was announced individually. Strahan, who helped the Giants make two Super Bowls, got a huge cheer from the home crowd. Induction will be on Aug. 1 in Canton, Ohio. Guy turned the punting job into a defensive weapon after he became the first player at his position to be selected in the first round of the draft in 1973. He made "hang time" part of the football vernacular while playing all of his 207 games in 14 seasons with the Raiders. The Southern Mississippi product averaged 42.4 yards for his career. Only three of his 1,049 punts were blocked, and he had 209 punts downed inside the 20-yard line. "Its gratifying to now see a punter go into the Hall of Fame," Guy said, who joins Jan Stenerud as the only kickers enshrined . "Whether it was me or somebody else, they needed representation in that position." Brooks was the cornerstone of a Bucs defence that led the league in 2002 and 05, and the NFC five times. He was The Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year when Tampa Bay won its only Super Bowl after the 2002 season. The linebacker never missed a game in his 14 seasons and averaged a remarkable 146 tackles. Six of his 25 interceptions were returned for touchdowns, including a league-record three in 02. Seattle certainly got a winner when it moved up to the No. 6 spot in the 1997 draft to take Jones. He immediately provided blindside protection for Warren Moon and quickly became the first Seahawks lineman to earn a Pro Bowl spot. He was one of the chief road graders who helped Shaun Alexander rush for 266 yards in a 2001 game -- the fourth-highest total in NFL history -- and then rush for a team-record 1,880 yards and 28 TDs in his MVP season in 2005. "Coming into the league all I wanted to do was get here, and ... say I could play this game," Jones said. "For me to be here now, and for my team that I started with and finished with, to be here in the Super Bowl is just like the icing on the cake." Strahan set the NFL record for sacks in a single season, getting 22 1/2 in 2001. The one most people remember is the record-setter in the final game of the regular season, when Green Bays Brett Favre seemed to lay down on a play late in the game. While there is controversy about that play, the gap-toothed Strahan was one of the top two-way defensive ends. Younger teammates said he taught them how to work to become NFL players, and he walked away from the NFL after winning the Super Bowl in February 2008. "Its hard to find guys with everything, but this guy had everything . size, speed, power, toughness, endurance, motor, smarts, leadership, heart, love for the game, but what I admired most about Michael was his pride," Giants general Jerry Reese said. "No matter what the circumstances were, when he walked out on that field on Sunday, he was going to give it ALL to you. There arent many guys who can say that." Reed came out of little Kutztown (Pa.) University and played his first 15 seasons with Buffalo, getting to four Super Bowls, but never winning one. His final season was with Washington. His 951 career receptions are third in league history, highlighted by nine consecutive seasons of 50-plus catches. Long before people spoke about yards after the catch, Reed was doing it. He finished with 13,198 yards and 87 touchdowns. "Having to wait this long for him is a sin, but the bottom line is hes in and thats what counts," former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly said of Reeds nine-year wait to get into the Hall. A walk-on at Southern University, Williams was a shutdown cornerback in his 14 NFL seasons, the first 10 with the Cardinals and the last four with the Rams. He had 55 career interceptions, getting at least one in every season except his last. He had five or more in picks in six seasons, with nine being his best in 1994. Williams spent his last four seasons with St. Louis. He started at cornerback for the Rams in the 2001 Super Bowl and played safety in his final two seasons. The Hall of Fame doors finally opened for Humphrey on his 28th year of eligibility and his fifth as a finalist. The durable six-time Pro Bowl pick had 122 career sacks in 14 seasons with the Falcons and Eagles, who acquired him after a brief retirement in the 1978 season. "I never really gave up hope," said Humphrey, whose only regret was his wife died in July and didnt get to see his election. "I always figured there was a place for me here." Skai Moore Jersey .

Cornet won six straight games to rally from a 2-0 deficit and take the first set. The 25th-ranked Frenchwoman broke back twice in the second set before Bacsinszky saved a match point at 5-4.GREEN BAY, Wis. - Mike McCarthy promised Wednesday to evaluate, make changes and learn from his teams gut-wrenching NFC Championship game loss to the Seattle Seahawks.The Green Bay Packers coach also delivered another promise.Every game you compete in is a unique experience, and the only way you benefit from that experience is you have to be able to learn from the victories and defeats. Thats the mindset of a champion, McCarthy said during his season wrap-up news conference, which was delayed a week after the death of his younger brother, Joe. That will never change. (But) the 2015 football team will not bear the burden of what happened in 2014 or before that. Thats not the way we operate.McCarthys 30-minute session was light on specifics and devoid of any major announcements or staff shakeups. Assistant coaches are off this week, and if McCarthy does plan on making changes - after two major special-teams gaffes contributed significantly to the season-ending loss, special teams co-ordinator Shawn Slocums job security could be tenuous - he will do so after meeting with coaches starting next week.McCarthy conducted exit interviews with players on Jan. 19-20 and was set to begin his meetings with coaches on Jan. 21 when he learned of his brothers death. McCarthy returned from Pennsylvania on Tuesday after his brother was laid to rest Monday.Its important to evaluate. I obviously havent had that opportunity, McCarthy replied when asked about Slocums job status. Well look at everything. Well look at every job description, every job responsibility, performance - mine included - and well look to make changes.Among the mistakes the Packers made while squandering a 16-0 halftime lead: A 19-yard third-quarter touchdown pass by Seahawks holder Jon Ryan to tackle Garry Gilliam on a fake field goal for Seattles first points of the game, and tight end Brandon Bostick ignoring his assignment to block on a Seattle onside kick with just over 2 minutes left in regulation. Andrew Luck Jersey. Bostick mishandled the ball and Seattle recovered, setting up a go-ahead touchdown.Special teams, definitely a tough performance for us, McCarthy said. Anytime you give up seven points and have a turnover, its very difficult to overcome that, especially when it occurs in the second half like it did.Asked specifically about the fake field goal, and whether Slocum and the coaches should have been more ready for a fake in that situation, McCarthy hinted that a safe call rather than an all-out block call was in order.Your call in that situation is what Seattle benefited from, said McCarthy, whose team also allowed the Seahawks to overcome a second-and-30 and third-and-19 to keep that drive alive. After that particular series, the third-down conversion they had, the second down and third down conversion they had, walking out of there with a field goal, 16-3 is fine. Creating the opportunity for them to make a big play is where we erred.Errors came on more than just special teams, however. From an offence that had two three-and-out possessions in the fourth quarter while trying to protect a lead, to safety Morgan Burnett heeding outside linebacker Julius Peppers advice to lie down after an interception with just over 5 minutes left in regulation, to a defence that collapsed after dominating most of the game, there was plenty of blame to go around.Now, McCarthys focus is on taking those mistakes and making sure they lead to growth.Our fans, I understand your disappointment. Were right there with you, McCarthy said. Later, he added, Were going to create another opportunity to build the best football team that we can in 2015, and were going to go for it.
