The Pro Football Hall of Fame welcomes six
new members into its exclusive fraternity this weekend. The
additions of Gene Hickerson, Michael Irvin, Bruce Matthews, Charlie Sanders, Thurman Thomas and Roger Wehrli will bring the total number of players enshrined in Canton to 211. This made us wonder which active players will ultimately walk across the stage at Fawcett Stadium wearing tacky ...
Thurman Thomas will be inducted into the Football
Hall of Fame in Canton on August 4, along
with Micheal Irvin, Gene Hickerson, Charlie Sanders, Bruce Matthews, and Roger Wherli. Thomas was played 13 years in the NFL, all at running back — Buffalo Bills (1988-99), Miami Dolphins (2000) — rushing for 12,074 yards, while collecting 4,458 yards in receiving over 182 games.

God that title works on so many levels,
but I'm referring to this quote specifically, "I'm not
gonna do what everyone thinks I'm gonna do and... FLIP OUT... all I wanna know is one thing... who's coming with me?" Why do I bring that up? Well ESPN will have it's entire "New" Studio Team at the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony this Saturday.
During Saturday's Pro Football Hall of Fame induction
ceremony, I was struck by two very poignant moments:
Gene Hickerson earned long overdue recognition but is so ill that he cannot fully appreciate this honor, while Michael Irvin acknowledged and lamented his lapses as a father and a husband and prayed that his sons will learn from his mistakes.
A look at the softer side of Michael
Irvin.
