All new classes in the Hall of Fame in all sports will bring a healthy discussion. This year, the Professional Hall of Fame is not the same.
However, for one finalist, his location in Canton is more than just a championship or statistical case. His place in the Hall of Fame will return to the tragic incident of murder suicide.

The 2025 Professional Hall of Fime Senior class has five finalists, including coaches and contributors. The voting players are Maxi Borgan, Stirling Sharp, and Jim Tyler.
The biggest question is surrounding the Tyler.
Who is the Jim Tyler?

Jim Terler, born in New Arc, Ohio on February 25, 1939, is one of the most dominant aggressive tackles of his times.
After playing soccer in Ohio, he was in the United States, but Tyler started a 14 -year player in the American football league Dallasteki Sands in 1961. The field has taken over the movement to Kansas City and the final merger with NFL.
Tyler was three AFL All -stars in the three AFL champions, helping Chiefs to beat the first super bowl in franchise in 1970. The third streak in team history.
Tyler has been selected as a member of the AFL team in the 1960s and is in the Hall of Fame of Chiefs. He played the last season of Washington in 1974.
There is no doubt that Tyler's career is worth considering the Professional Hall of Fame, but the tragic event held on September 15, 1980 has kept his name for over 40 years. 。

Tyler was a finalist entering the Hall of Fame in the first year of qualification and was mainly selected. But in the fall of 1980, it changes.
According to a KCTV report at the time, Tyler shot his wife Martha and shot at 4 am in his bedroom at home. He was 41 years old and Martha was 40 years old.
The closest to families, including their teammates, were shocked by the news, but they will soon be reported that there is a problem.
ESPN Reporter Mark Fainaru-Wada told NPR last week that Tyrer had a hard time finding a job after his player was over, and his family had experienced economic struggle. There were also rumors that Tyler was dealing with depression and paranoia.
However, due to the development of science on the long -term impact of contact sports, many people are likely to have suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) with the development of science for nearly 45 years. I am claiming.
Dr. Dug Paone, who treated Tyler a few days before the murder suicide, told Kansas City Star Star Vahe Gregorian that he was convinced that Tyler had CTE.
“When it walks like a duck, it is terrifying, it has a leg, the water is far from the back, it is not a zebra: it is CTE,” he said. “(Tyler) will be a child on the CTE poster.”

What voters say

At least three of the five senior finalists will be selected as the Professional Hall. They require 80 % of the voting from the selection committee and are allowed to vote for three finalists. If you do not receive that ratio, the only finalist with the most voting will be introduced in the 2025 class.
For Tyler, voters seem to be divided. ESPN spoke last month when Tyler was nominated as a finalist.
“It is morally abominable, and it is unacceptable to put the murderer in the Hall of Fame,” said Jason Call for many years, adding “incredibly compassion for the family.”
COLE stated that in consideration of CTE, it would “open a huge can of insects.”
On the contrary, Gregorion told ESPN that CTE can explain the tragedy that leads to Tyler and his wife's too early death.
“I think this change was caused by (CTE) when I thought this was a person who had been praised by many people for decades,” said Gregorian. This is not due to the intention of this person, but for serious brain injury.
The detailed rules of the selection process are instructed to the voter not to consider whether it is good or bad in decision -making. The 2025 class will be announced next Thursday next week with the NFL honor of New Orleans prior to the Super Bowl LIX.
