At the risk of sounding unappreciative of bratty, it’s about doggone time. Former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Dick Vermeil, along with Cliff Branch, has been named as one of the first two finalists for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of its 2022 class.

Now, we just need someone to vote Eric Allen on that same list. Oh, come on. No one else is wondering why neither of these guys don’t already have busts in Canton?

This is an honor for a Philadelphia Eagles legend that’s truly long overdue.
