Heard "Waterfalls" on the radio this afternoon. Figured I should promote this.

I'm sometimes like "why do the Giants stick with Darius Slayton"? Then I see these guys and I'm like "oh."

MANY FANS: I want a small Hall of Fame. It should be a special honor.
ALSO MANY FANS: Obviously, my favorite LB growing up is a Hall of Famer, and also Mike Alstott and Mathew Slater.

I mean, I wouldn't protest or anything if they just kicked him out.

One of the great mysteries. It's a faux-independence situation.

I love it. A few busloads of Eagles fans can clear all the Cowboys out of the Hall of Fame in a year. Browns fans can sabotage the rest of the league during lunch breaks!

Commanders fans, make sure you are following Ben Standig to find out what Kliff Kingsbury did in the offseason.

(It sounds like Kliff Kingsbury needs to follow Ben to find out what he did as well)

Yay! Ticking off fans by kicking out their favorite players is a GREAT way to increase the Hall of Fame's credibility AND attract tourists to a hurting-for-cash little museum in a little city where there is absolutely nothing else to do!
