Nice watching the inductees share their thoughts, Jerry Kramer who last played 49 years ago I remember him and the old Pack well.

Oh the game, eh it's on.

Back then I liked GB and later MIA even though there was one GB player who spoiled Jim Brown from going 9/9:

Yeah, you hope with all the tweaking going on that they don't  get too cute and push it a little too far.

I used to watch everything in its entirety every single year......years back. Still will probably  catch most of it.

I watched in fast forward, and only when the Ravens had the ball. RG Knee may not make the team. Where's Ghoolie when you really need him? There's only ONE Black Tarkenton this year, and it's Lamar Jackson. 

Should we start an over\under pool when he's going to get busted up running?

   Though, only one of the new class are from the above schools:

Urlacher:  New Mexico

Owens:  Tenn-Chattanooga

Moss:  Marshall

Ray Lewis:  Miami, Fla......is he included in the 7 from Miami?

Jerry Kramer:  Idaho

Brian Dawkins:  Clemson

Robert Brazile:  Jackson St.

Bobby Beathard:  Cal Poly  SLO

Speeches? The only guys that may still speak non' jive English are Kramer,Beathard(hit znooze)) and of course the guy from New Mexico=Urlacher.Robert Brazile gave out Brownies on top of chit-sandwiches on Sundays. Interested in Robert's speech & Brian Dawkins..guy was a straight up Beast..The game, as always this time of year, was a sloppy mess. "Here's your simple high school playbook. If your 1st read is covered? RUN for your life!! Back-up OLmen got out matched by much faster D-men. Orlando Brown with his gumby arm length is a easy holding call waiting to happen. Told myself at half, "2 series with Lamar than back of eye-lids" I made it, but chuckled to myself, "Flacco won't have to worry about anybody behind him again"?  Lamar should be sporting a cast somewhere by September..

the new helmet rule is definitely going to cost a team a win

the call on orr from Chicago was cowpoop as he led with his shoulder pad

[The Gipper]

[syd]

baltiwhore receiver caught a pass in the endzone and orr dislodged the ball with his shoulder pad but he got flagged saying orr led with his helmet

Sports trivia time..Question? How did Arron Rogers really break his collarbone last season? Answer= He ran into a Bar! (Anthony Barr that is)

The deciding factor in the spectacular night of football......

.......A failed two-point conversion failed, keeping the Ravens in the lead near the two-minute warning......  

Meanwhile in INDIANS baseball Kluber just got a CG SO the FS1 studio guys are raving about how good their pitching staff could be.

That was a thing of beauty----less than 100 pitches for his complete game.

So who had your favorite acceptance speech? Surprise to me, but I thought Jerry Kramer knocked it out of the ballpark for young & old fans..
