He’s a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer.

It looks like there’s a serious chance that there could be eight NFL quarterbacks who will rack up 4,000 yards or more in 2007. I’m pretty sure that if it happens, it would be for the first time in history.

In case you don’t feel like looking, through Week 15 of the season, you have:

Tom Brady – 4,235 yards
Brett Favre – 3,905 yards
Tony Romo – 3,868 yards
Drew Brees – 3,819 yards
Jon Kitna – 3,707 yards
Carson Palmer – 3,700 yards
Peyton Manning – 3,634 yards
Matt Hasselbeck – 3,620 yards

Marvin Benard, Barry Bonds, Bobby Estalella, Jason Giambi, Jeremy Giambi, Benito Santiago, Gary Sheffield, Randy Velarde, David Segui, Jason Grimsley, Lenny Dykstra, Larry Bigbie, Brian Roberts, Jack Cust, Tim Laker, Josias Manzanillo, Todd Hundley, Mark Carreon, Hal Morris, Matt Franco, Rondell White, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Chuck Knoblauch, Gregg Zaun, David Justice, F.P.

They were all named in the Mitchell Report, which was released earlier today.

Some of the names (Bonds, Sheffield, Giambi) are no surprise. But some (Mo Vaughn, Chuck friggin’ Knoblauch, Kevin Brown) are total surprises.

You can read the full report here. A bit of a warning, though: It’s 409 pages long.

Vaughn McClure wrote about the elite group of tight ends that have played for the University of Miami football team in the last ten years, including Bubba Franks, Jeremy Shockey, Kellen Winslow and Greg Olsen

It’s even cooler as I’ll get to watch the Chicago Bears and New York Giants face off this Sunday!
