Football Reporting Live (on TV) from the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony - Page 4

**Rain Man** · 08-04-2018, 07:21 PM

I missed Brazile, Beathard, and Kramer, which was a bummer because I was interested in Brazile and Kramer.

Rumor has it that Beathard traded away his second-round speech for an eighth-round speech.

Brian Urlacher's wife is going to have back trouble some day, and Urlacher is spending all of his money on her teeth whitening. It looks like it's worth it, though.

I'd give Urlacher a D+ on the speech. Other

Brian Dawkins named his first two children Brian (male) and Briani (female).

Emmitt Thomas dealt with Dawkins when he was considering suicide and got credit for saving Dawkins' life.

I'd give Dawkins a B. Good solid speech, and he gave his wife a nice gold shawl during the ceremony. He also mentioned putting the names of people he's thankful for into his jacket so he'd think about them when he put it on. Pretty clever move.

More updates if I care enough to do so. Randy Moss is next, and I'm looking forward to seeing highlights from his time with the Raiders.

Apparently it would really bother him.

He is one deep individual.

Ray just said that the lion is king of the jungle even though it's not the tallest or largest or strongest animal in the jungle. It's because the lion is a leader.

**Rain Man** · 08-04-2018, 08:29 PM

Ray's going to have to take that yellow jacket to the dry cleaners. Major, major sweat happening. If there's a Hall of Fame of sweat, we'll be hearing another induction speech from him soon.

**Rain Man** · 08-04-2018, 08:30 PM

I hate Thurman Thomas, but he has a great hat.

Yes the lion definitely plays at a disadvantage.

The dude on NFL Network just said that every Hall of Fame induction speech going forward will be judged against the perspiration on Ray Lewis's jacket. Seriously, it was like the Johnstown dam. He probably recorded 500 tackles just due to the slickness of his uniform from sweat.

You didn't mention that Ray Ray confessed to kissing all his kids on the mouth.

The lion is an underdog whose power comes from its heart.

Rays speech literally gave me a headache.

That grossed me out too much to think about.

Well, except for his oldest daughter.

The poor lady who had to sign language Ray Lewis’ speech deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

I'd give Ray's speech a B-. It was marred by the spastic urkel dance, but relatively entertaining in ways that he didn't intend.

Who tracks and claws it's prey with it's leadership skills.
