Hall of Fame

It's a slow week in the NFL, which is surprising since it's Super Bowl week. For an odd reason there's not much to talk about with the Super Bowl itself. It's a great matchup and lots of marquee players, but the only thing talked about is:

1) If Dwight Freeney will play
2) Peyton Mannings legacy

Thats it. Boring.

So to mix things up I guess, it was Hall of Fame hour this morning on the radio. The topic was if Jerry Rice and Emmit Smith are 1st time ballot inductees. Really. This was debated between analysts. Like I said, a slow week.

Let's break this down.

Jerry Rice: The most productive and reliable receiver in the history of the NFL. Statistically, by far. Played 36 years in the NFL. Arguably the best player in the history of the NFL. Ran a 4.9 40 but could never be run down.

Emmit Smith: Not the best talent at running back in the history of the league, however he was one of the most productive and statistically #1, no question. Lead a team to multiple Super Bowl wins.

It's not like first time eligible inductees are unheard of. I mean these are 2 of the best players in the 90 years of this league.

Why is this being debated. Boring,..... like this entry.
