Class act all the way. And highly underrated during his playing career because he was not flashy nor did he provide much fodder for the media because he was a good citizen. Definitely deserves to be in...

Curtis martin was one of the most consistant running backs in history. So what for whatever reason he didnt love the game. He put his heart and soul into work ethic and to do what ever he did at 110%

Not sure how anyone would think that Martin was not “worthy”. Not sure how you would see that Martin played the game for fame and glory oh yes and money ($) – you know the stuff we all get up and go to...

The 1st two posts are idiotic to say the least. Curtis Martin had a extremely successful career and him being 3rd all time in rushing speaks for itself! Consistent throughout his career and never was...

Bobzilla – wait a minute, Hoss. Apparently you and I weren’t listening to the same speech. At one point did CM say he played for the fame and money? And nice way to put words in his mother’s mouth. You...

@hulkhogansays– Really, do you even watch football? First you make a patently ridiculous assertion that Willie Roaf doesn’t belong in the Hall, and try to justify yourself with his teammate’s...

hulkhogansays says: Aug 4, 2012 10:37 PM Curtis Martin is a shining example that if you play nice with the media, they’ll return the favor in a huge way. On the field, Martin is NOT worthy of being a...

Not a fan of the Pats or Jets, nor much of Martin (wasn’t on one of my teams), but the guy was the FOURTH all time leading rusher. What is there to debate?

“from examples of physical and mental abuse inflicted by his late father on Martin’s mother to an instance in which a man held a gun to Martin’s head, pulling the trigger seven times without the bullet...

Curt moved to my neighborhood during his high school years. We would hang in his basement that he turned into his bedroom. He was always honest, humble and the most giving person you could ever meet....

Not even the best RB of his era…couldn’t carry TD’s jock. To his credit, however, he played exceptionally close to the Atlantic Ocean.

My apologies to hulkhogansays regarding Willie Roaf, it was another poster who dissed him. He’s still nuts if he doesn’t think Curtis Martin belongs in the Hall though.

barkymark: Martin’s mother’s body language and her demeanor spoke volumes. She looked visibly taken aback and uncomfortable by Martin’s off-the-cuff comments about her relationship with her husband....

Curtis Martin is a HOF’er, easily. He never blew me away like Emmitt or Faulk did, but for years he was great. He gave defenses a lot of trouble for a long time; he deserves to be in the hall. He was a...

I don’t think I have ever seen a person speak so frankly and openly about his/her life before in a public forum. You can tell he spoke the truth, it was really strange and riveting at the same time. He...

His play on the field certainly makes him a first ballot hall of famer. That being said that was the worst HOF speech in history. He could of relayed the effects of his violent upbringings without all...

My favorite Curtis Martin game was the Fog Bowl at old Foxboro. It’s was his first playoff game. He had 2 TDs, one of which he took for 78 yards. Finished the game with 166 yards rushing, 200+ all...

His first pro game was aginst the beloved Brownies. He torched us. Was a fan since then. Curtis Martin. Class act and an ornament to Taylor-Alderdice HS.

BTW, as much as I love Curtis Martin, it’s a little disingenuous for him to say he told Parcells he didn’t want to play football. He came out after his (red-shirt) junior year, so he had to file papers...

Bill Parcells had a great comment about RBs… Either they gain yards or they don’t. Curtis Martin gained yards, more than anyone except Smith, Payton, and Sanders. If that’s not HoF then what is?

I’ll never forget after Curtis’s first big game as a Patriot the media was all over him and he was hamming it up. Tuna got mad and told the reporters they were making a big deal over a “one game wonder”.
