NFL HOF Inductions

Just a couple interesting stories to link to.  The first, if you are not an avid NFL fan (more specifically a Cowboys or Giants fan) you won't remember this game and the demonstration of toughness on the field.  More amazingly was the ability to actually play with such an injury AND play at an all-pro level.  Snce Emmitt Smith is going into the HOF this weekend, I thought I'd post the link to this story.

And being a Cowboy's fan, I still give big ups to Russ Grimm and the Hogs.  You can tell how good a team/someone is when your favorite team is one of their big rivals.  Their greatness is in direct contrast to how much you scream at the television.  The more you scream; the better the player and team is.  The Redskins, Grimm and the Hogs had me screaming a lot back in the day.  Washington post story:  http://bit.ly/bFtmQb

A great HOF class this year with Jerry Rice, Floyd Little, John Randle, Rickey Jackson and Dick LeBeau.
