A guy going into the HOF who's 4 years younger... that makes you feel real old.

We just got back from Canton. Ridiculously brutal 3 day trip but it needs to be on your bucket list (if it isn't already). Coolest thing that made yesterday special was what the reason delay caused. Most of us who were on the campus ended up taking shelter in the HOF itself.

You know the Madden story about the busts talking after everyone is out of the building at night? The Hall had those who were attending come in through the front door and they spent a couple of hours hanging out not far from that room. Those of us who took shelter ended up turning that entrance into a mini red carpet. Earl Campbell was announced as he entered in a wheelchair to a kid ovation. Bettis is still freaking huge. And the older guys who walked in stopped and took selfies with whoever asked.

The most random thing was George McCaskey (Chicago owner). He was just walking around amongst the crowd as if he was an average Joe. Two jackasses decided to make a thing about getting a selfie and he had to go into where the players went. During the ceremony he was walking back and forth getting waters for the families of the inductees. I had no use for the guy 48 hours ago but I gained a ton of respect for him after seeing how he carried himself during those 5 hours.
