It was always a subtle meme that 'the NFL script writers wanted to see Team X and Team Y in [game], so they made it happen,' and PFT just decided to lean into it. Arian played along. And viola.

I mean, the name of the podcast is 'Macrodosing.'

Is this about his spending 4 days in darkness to consider his next move? Sounds like preparing for a year with the Jets. I’m thinking he should join Adams in Vegas.

One winning season in the NFL - and he was a rookie. After that, 38-122. Yet he's going to Canton.

And deservedly so.
I can pretty much guarantee that the winning percentage of Thomas' teams is the just about the worst of any player in any Hall of Fame.

Through no fault of his. Was happy to see he got in, and kind of surprised he didn't lead more of the headlines. And hey, turns out Ronde isn't borderline, I guess!

Happy for Ronde. It always felt like he was borderline, but that he also got great stats. The Tampa 2 defensive scheme and the way Monte used it allowed him to get both sacks and picks. Feels like he's got the season or career record for combined total. I'm sure one of the upcoming social media posts will remind me.

He the only dude with 40 picks and 25 sacks. And it makes sense. The Bucs were the preeminent defense in the league for about 7-8 years, and by DVOA their 02 Title team had the best pass D ever. Four HoFers from that squad make total sense, and all are more than deserved.

Additionally, it also makes sense to me that with the expansion of passing in the 2000s, the dudes defending the pass should probably get more guys in. Woodson and Champ are the top two CBs of that era in some order, and Ronde was third. That's a Hall member for me.

ETA: And take it from a guy who to this day still has nightmares of Ronde Barber.

Yep, there we go. Career has both 47 picks and 28 sacks.

So many players in the NFL, that you (or at least I) forgot how good Klecko was.

And I hadn't given a thought to Zach Thomas in a long time, but he was for a number of years the only really good Dolphin defender.

No quarrel with any of the choices, but surprised that Andre Johnson didn't make it.

Happy for Klecko. He is always around the team and seems like a great guy. Seems kind of crazy that out of the 8 players inducted, 7 are defensive players and the only offensive player is a lineman.

Calvin Johnson might be close (he was a rookie on the 0-16 Lions), but I suspect Thomas' is worse.

Lee Roy Selmon HAS to be the worst.

If we're counting solely games played with the team, not just on the roster (Bucs went 2-2 in TB games where LRS was on the roster but didn't play), Lee Roy's W-L-T record is 42-78-1!

Holy shit. Discounting the early classes of guys that were more pioneers than productive players, the worst percentage belongs to:







OJ Simpson.

(.322 win% to .351 for Selmon)

Thomas is below that, I was speaking about already in guys.

This comes up a lot, but another reminder that Joe Namath and Sonny Jurgensen were both under .500 as a starter. Tom Brady the Buccaneer threw for more than half as many yards as Namath

Gawd, I hope not! I know you’re joking, but I don’t think Sean Payton is going to give Russ a really long leash. He’s already put an end to Wilson’s past practice of bringing his own personal coaches onto team facilities.

Gruber was a rock. Don't see him much around here. To be fair, I may have missed it if he's been around. I don't pay a ton of attention to the BUCS anymore.
