1. There are few things in sports more ridiculous than the way people view a Hall of Fame.
We've gone through this in baseball more than any other sport thanks to steroids/PEDs, but not the NFL has taken over when it comes to unnecessary and embarrassing hand wringing over nonsense.
Via Pro Football Talk: "Per multiple sources, the Hall of Fame currently is considering a requirement that candidates for enshrinement commit to showing up for the Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony before the selection committee makes its final choices."
Shouldn't a Hall of Fame be about one thing and one thing only: The player's career on the field?
