Sitting here at my Media Work Room desk inside the Pro Football Hall of Fame — post Enshrinement — I’m really in awe as I think about the whole event I’ve just been privileged to be so close to. It really is an honor to be involved with the greatest players in the history of professional football, a game I have enjoyed almost my entire life. In the room next to me are the busts of the members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Hall closed it’s doors to fans at 5 p.m. …read more

I arrived at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio about half an hour ago. The weather is typically beautiful (78 degrees and mostly sunny today).

It was a sickening sight. Bobby Petrino quit as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons yesterday and today he was doing a Woo Pig Sooey cheer with his new team at the University of Arkansas. I don’t know how this guy can show his face in public let alone flaunt it at a press conference for the Razorbacks. You know my feelings on the situation. I expressed them yesterday. Members of the Falcons expressed them today when they got the news “officially” via a form letter on their lockers. And the words were not kind. Coward. Quitter. Hypocrite.
Ultimately, Coach …read more
