As always, a good class of inductees for the HOF as announced Saturday.
Special congratulations to Ed Sabol, 95, founder of NFL Films and 2011 inductee. The quality and pageantry of NFL Films is so far ahead of any other sports league, and Sabol's work was one of the big reasons pro football passed baseball in the 1960's as the national passion, if not its pastime.

Hard to argue with any of the non-senior inductees, but it was tough seeing Willie Roaf not get in this time. Dude was the best left tackle for more than a decade, and probably the second best of all time. Hopefully he'll get in next year. And I agree on Sabol - pretty stupid to argue he doesn't deserve to be in.
