The Saga Continues: 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame

The 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame list was made public on Saturday. There were some usual suspects. This list is deep. After the selection process has been complete, I am sure there is going to be both happy and people upset by the results.

I am still very unclear as to why Donnie Shell, Lester Hayes, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Ray Guy, Cliff Branch, Russ Francis, Joe Theisman etc., etc are vying to get in with the likes of Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice. The point I'm trying to make is that these gentleman should have been in the fall of fame so long ago. I have read the outline of the process, but when players such as these and others have been left out of the hall for so long, it is time to re-think the process.

I'm really happy that Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice are going to be shoe ins. In a perfect world, so should have been the aforementioned players.

"Stepchild"

After MSU's 33-30 lost to Notre Dame yesterday, it began clear to me that MSU is following in the paths of Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, Kentucky, Louisville and the like in making its football program the stepchild to basketball. For pigskin lovers, like myself, this is extremely disheartening. Thank goodness for the NFL and programs like Ohio State University, University of Alalbama and the like that make basketball the stepchild to there football programs.

Until MSU basketball season starts, "Roll Tide."
