Congrats to this class

In 2005, by chance, I wrote a journal-style book on the life of a Chicago sports fan. It turned out to be the greatest year in Chicago sports history. That became an unpublished book; I used several of the pieces, and the cover, in WHY WE ROOT.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2025 finalists list is out and the selection committee continues to make the same mistakes. Let's start with Eli Manning.

My guess is that we're going to see four modern-era players elected:

* ANTONIO GATES is a lock, in my view
* JARED ALLEN has a great shot

And it gets messy after that. KUECHLY has a good shot, ERIC ALLEN maybe, HOLT hopefully, VINATIERI and ELI are wild cards.

My colleague, and PFHOF voter, Clark Judge with the analysis:
