Didn't see them all so I won't rank them. I thought the classiest moment was Shannon Sharpe saying he is the only hall of famer to be the second best player in his family. I thought him saying that kind of almost included his brother in him getting in. I don't know why but I thought Deion Sanders speech was Jordanesque.

I put them in the order of what I thought were best.

Sabol for brevity.

Sharpe's speech was as awesome as it gets. The line about his brother ALMOST brought me to tears.

Deion's speech was awful. Shout out's to his rapper buddies? Cool, but where's MC Hammer?

His story about his mother seemed fake- he was in a high chair when he was 7?

He just seems like an all-around fake.


One note on the NFLN- when Marshall faulk mentioned his wife, they put her on camera with a caption: Lindsay Faulk, Marshall Faulk's guest.


None of the other wives got that treatment.

Is it because she's white?

I heard Deion went and put a do-rag on his bust after the speech. Gah, how tacky can you get.

Sharpes was my favorite, seeing Sterling tear up sealed the deal.

Actually thought that was fitting, all things considered.

Dent's was all over the place.

I may have missed it, but I don't think he thanked Buddy Ryan or Mike Ditka.

and Faulk and Sanders both were presented by their agents.

Their choice, but strange.

More or less strange than being presented by Chris Berman?

I fast-forward past his bluster.

That douche made the HOF Before Ed Sabol.

GAWD, can they get stuff so wrong.
