This H.O.F. class was very exciting this year. You had Randy Moss, Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, Brian Dawkins, (what a class) Terrell Owens, Bobby Beathard, Robert Brazile, and Jerry Kramer. I didn’t watch the entire show, but I watched Brain, Randy, and Ray give their speeches. To me Brain Dawkins’ speech was the speech that hit home with me. He touched on points about not giving up when it gets tough, and use your haters and elevators. He spoke from the heart and his soul, and that was touching to me, B.D. was that hard hitting safety that players from the opposite team feared, hard nose and never quit on a play! I also saw Randy’s speech, Brain’s, and of course Ray’s too long for television speech. You know Ray is long winded anyway, he starts off calm, and then he gets going, sort of like your preacher at your local church. But he means well, Ray has been thru a lot, hell they all have been thru a lot. Every pro football player has a story to tell and most of the time; it’s a lesson learned story. I think Terrell will regret not going to Canton down the line, he missed out on so many memories, he could of made new friends, also he could of soaked up some much needed knowledge from the players that been there for a while. He would of cherished that time forever, but he wouldn’t be T.O. without a little bit of drama. (JNB18)
