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.

Hey there, I like the fact that it's at the level of civility the way Twitter used to be and with no ads.

But it just doesn't have the engagement (in general, on a conversational level) and overall informational aspects of Twitter. And not everyone has moved over.

Well you can definitely Bank on that.

But, hey, you can be All Decade with one whole vote - to the extent that someone features you in a book and pushes you for the Hall of Fame.

What a world, what a world.

WGN soon!

On a real crummy day for them, Cody Delmendo and Luke Stuckmeyer gave me a real cool shoutout, putting WHY WE ROOT on their table. Thinking of all the guys who got laid off as well as their colleagues and teammates who are crushed.

Fitzgerald, Brees, Belichick, Kraft for sure.

Maybe Rivers but hopefully not. Kuechly if he's still on the board. And we'll have only one senior. That one is anybody's guess.

Perhaps don't go for it on 4th down on your own 30 and gift the opponent 7 points earlier?

That's the issue that could bite Campbell and the Lions - in a much bigger game.

Need to be much more strategic throughout the game.

If you've never had it before, it's possible your body might react a little different than for someone who's had it every year.

But the only issue I have is slight soreness at the point of entry - if flu shot is all you're getting and you sleep on your side, get it in the opposite side's arm.

Finally won in Las Vegas, eh?

Speaking of flexing, any unofficial word regarding Denver losing its Monday Night Football game - because the Browns are so awful? (I think tomorrow is the deadline for the 12/2 game to move to 12/1.)

Full quote: "I mean, I don't really think it is one, especially not with him behind the center. I haven't seen a quarterback, a rookie quarterback like him in a long time. And just the way he keep composure, the way he treat people and just the way he play on the field, I mean, he the full package."
