PrintLet this be the place to be for us to "be there" while Rickey's inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I don't know about any of you, but my wife and I watch this ceremony every year. We love to hear the stories from the old-timers about their lives, the game of football, and the people who helped them along the way. It helps mark the beginning of the NFL season for us.

yes you can be inducted as both, but it might be just an add-on to the player and not a separate plaque per hubby

One of my favorite press conferences
is one of Ditka’s post-game ones for the Saints
He was sitting in the locker room, and was p-o’d. Somebody asked him about an injured player and he said, “Talk to the trainer! Next question.”
