“And we would not have had Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy coaching against each other in Super Bowl 41”.

“And up until that moment, I had never thought about the Hall of Fame…”
Dungy changed the losing culture of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being hired in 1996.
He was sacked in Tampa in 2001 and the Bucs won the Super Bowl the next year with Jon Gruden as coach. The six others will up the total of Hall of Fame players to 271. He led the National Football League with 14.5 sacks in 1996 when he was 34 years old.
Stabler, who died a year ago, was elected by the Seniors Committee.
Note: Moss finished the game Favre referenced with 190 yards on the official stat sheet and had a 75-yard touchdown nullified by penalty. It’s an excellent opportunity for them to impress not only their own coaching staffs, but to get something on video for the other clubs to see.
In the fall of each football season, an initial list of more than one hundred players are nomineed for consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Alleya Tavares, 18, earned the title of 2016 Pro Football Enshrinement Festival Queen a few months ago. “He’s just awesome to watch play, the way he leads the team, he plays hurt”, Molly Rodriguez of Los Angeles said. In 15 pro seasons for four franchises, Greene played linebacker and defensive end with an unmitigated spirit.
When Wolf’s medical staff told him they didn’t know how long Favre could possibly play, he retorted, “I’ll take whatever good years he can possibly give us”. He said ‘I can assure you one thing about my son; he will play better, he will redeem himself. Orlando Pace was a first round draft pick of the St. Louis Rams, who opened the blocks for Marshall Faulk on the Super Bowl XXIV championship team. Favre, as had been a trait of his throughout his career, attempted to play through the injury.
Guard Dick Stanfel played seven seasons with the Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins.
Pace, 40, was presented by his son, Justin. He retired in 2008 with 1,102 catches, now third behind Jerry Rice and Tony Gonzalez.
Kenny Anderson is often forgot when you talk about good quarterbacks of the 1970’s he led the NFL in passing yards during the 1974 and 1975 seasons, but is most remembered for his run to the Super Bowl with the Bengals in 1981 in which he also won NFL MVP.
He was Peyton Manning’s prime target for most of Harrison’s career. This year was easy with Favre, Dungy and Harrison headed into the hall. Eleven of those were in 2007.
He’s still not sure he belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which he will enter on Saturday night.
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen won the McCann Award from the Pro Football Writers of America for long and distinguished contribution to pro football through media coverage. “It’ll be fun to see them accept that great honor”. “Each of our 20 finalists deserves recognition for their exceptional performance in athletics, academics and community involvement”.
Fans headed to Saturday night’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony who also attended Friday night’s Tim McGraw concert to kick off the weekend were still buzzing about the show. “They contain artifacts of each Hall of Famer”.
Several fans said they were impressed that the country star’s opening song, “How Bad Do You Want It?” featured football videos behind the stage and around the stadium.

“From where my locker was I could see Reggie and Brett from the peripheral, and if I knew those two guys were getting dressed I had a chance to win today – you don’t get that feeling in all these teams”, said LeRoy Butler, former Brett Favre teammate.
