"This is a no-brainer. I'm actually embarrassed that Eddie DeBartolo is not already in," said Brent Jones, a 49ers tight end from 1987-97. "He's as good an owner as there's ever been in professional sports. There will never be another Eddie. There may be people who try to be like him, but there will never be another Eddie." DeBartolo Jr. is one of the 15 modern-era Hall of Fame finalists this year, a group that also includes a pair of first-time nominees with Bay Area ties, offensive lineman Larry Allen (49ers, 2006-07) and defensive tackle Warren Sapp (Raiders, 2004-07). Voting results will be announced at 2:30 p.m. PST during a one-hour special on the NFL Network. DeBartolo owned the 49ers from 1977-2000, a span during which the 49ers became the first franchise to win five Super Bowls. But his Hall of Fame hopes have been thwarted largely because of his connection to the corruption case of former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards in the late 1990s. Raiders headlines In advance of Saturday's announcement, we contacted several 49ers icons and asked them this question: If you could Poole: Oakland Raiders' brass still must prove themselves stand up in the room Saturday and address the selection committee, what would you say?

Oscars 2013: The categories we wish were real awards Montana (quarterback, 1979-92): "I think that there is no one more deserving for the Hall of Fame. The culture has changed, and it's because Eddie and Bill Walsh were able to change the way the game was played for a while. The guys Hicks: 'Star Wars' might cast Mark on our team looked at him like he was another player. He was not like a regular owner. You could look in his eyes and just Hamill, Harrison Ford and see that he had the fire and that he had the love.

Lott: "John Madden and I were just talking about this: When you think of Al Davis and Paul Brown and the Rooney family News Videos » and some other great owners -- they would take care of the players that played for them even after they retired. That's essential to their ownership, that they view everyone as part of their family. To me, that's Hall-of-Fame stuff." Policy: "Jeff Fuller (a former safety) suffered a spinal injury in a game against the Patriots and was paralyzed on one side of his body. Eddie went to him in the hospital and said, 'I'm not just saying this in the moment: We're going to take care of you.' And he did. He handled his medical care, sometimes flying him on his own plane. He set up a trust fund, and replenished it when things went wrong. At one point the league came to the 49ers and said, 'How did Eddie do this? What did he do?' The NFL used it as a model for how the league would handle future devastating injuries. Eddie opened their eyes. He turned the lights on. Montana: "He's one of those owners that went beyond the call of duty for people that played for him. The greatest thing I got from my experience was that relationship. Everybody was family to him." ON RAISING THE BAR Rice: "Five Super Bowls, man, that's a body of work. What he was able to do to the game of football, the coaches that he brought in -- Bill Walsh and his legacy -- and the tree of coaches that have gone on to become head coaches. Eddie was one of the best owners." Barton: "I realized from Day 1 that he was special, just based on the way we were all treated, the way we traveled. There was a dedication to being the best." Montana: "Bill and Eddie were complete opposites when it comes to temperament. Bill was more quiet. But their Recommendations relationship worked because they both had the same demands when it came to perfection and the will to win. That's how two guys who seemed nothing at all alike were united by a common bond." Create an account or log in to see what your friends are recommending.

  • How Andre Gurode Became Cowboys' Most Tenured Veteran | Todd Archer Columns | Spo
    How Andre Gurode became Cowboys' most tenured veteran | Todd Archer Columns | Spo... Page 1 of 2 How Andre Gurode became Cowboys' most tenured veteran 10:49 AM CDT on Friday, May 21, 2010 IRVING – At times, Andre Gurode admits he will look around the Valley Ranch locker room and wonder where the time has gone. He can point across the room to where Emmitt Smith held court. He can look to his right and know that Terence Newman now occupies Darren Woodson’s old locker with a message about the Super Bowl tradition on its back wall. He can look straight ahead and see where Flozell Adams sat for years. Now Gurode is the old man in the room. Not in terms of age or years of NFL service – those go to backup quarterback Jon Kitna (37 and 14 respectively) – but in tenure with the Cowboys. Gurode is entering his eighth season with the Cowboys. “I wouldn’t say it felt like yesterday,” said Gurode, a second round pick in 2002 after Roy Williams and before Antonio Bryant, “but it felt like I just came here a few years ago. I couldn’t imagine going through the stuff I’ve been through and the years and just all of the things it took to get to this point. It’s like, ‘Wow, it’s really been a journey.’” Gurode was Adams’ teammate for eight years, who was once Michael Irvin’s teammate, who played with Everson Walls, who was a Cowboy with Harvey Martin, who played defensive line with Bob Lilly, the Cowboys’ first draft pick in 1961, who came a year after Eddie LeBaron was the quarterback for an 0-11-1 team in the franchise’s first year.
