It is great every year to watch the latest players and coaches that enter the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. I love basketball (not so much baseball), but the HFL Hall Of Fame is the best by far to watch on TV.
Every year numourous great players and coaches are named to be in the Hall. This year the players/coaches were Chris Carter, Bill Parcells, Larry Allen, Dave Robinson, Curly Culp, Johnathan Ogden and last but not least Warren Sapp. Everybody gave great speeches and it was emotional for everyone including their families.
Parcells said a funny line when he said he hopes that when the NFL puts his statue in the hall he hopes they put his next to his former player the great “L.T”) Lawrance Taylor so he can keep a eye on him. Of course we all know the troubles L.T. has had the last few years.
Chris Carter waited for a long time to be voted in the Hall. Six years in a row he waited to get voted in and he did not make it. Of course he was disappointed every year. Some people thought the Hall was making him suffer because of his off the field problems and also because Carter is outspoken on issues. But doggone it he finally was voted in and it was about time.
Curly Culp waited the longest. He played in the 60’s and early 70’s. He was a great great player. Larry Allen was very emotional while giving his speech. He is from Compton, California and grew up in a rough area but because of the sport of football he has made a name for himself and has been able to take care of his family and much more.
And Sapp gave a emotional speech too. It was great to see his daughter introduce him to be inducted in the NFL Hall Of Fame. All in all again the NFL Hall Of Fame event is the best of all sports. Hell look at baseball right now. Because of the steroids problems guys that are elgible to be in Hall like Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa and Barry Clemens are not voted in. This is terrible.
The basketball Hall is a great event too but in my opinion it does not come up to the NFL Hall Of Fame.
