Hall of Fame Induction for Reggie

[The BIGSTUD]

Dawk should definitely make it. He's arguably the second best safety to ever play the game behind Lott.

That would be an amazing moment, because he's my favorite Eagle ever.

Ask Crumpler if he belongs in the Hall.

and Vick, and Hilliard.

Back on topic though, I remember when Reggie was with the Eagles and they played Green Bay. Tony Mandrich was the no. 1 pick for the Packers, first time they ever picked a O-lineman first. I think it was Brown and Pitts complaining that they couldn't get to the quarterback, but not because they couldn't beat their man, they had trouble jumping over Mandrich after Reggie would throw him to the ground! On the replays, it looked like a man going against a high schooler. Mandrich had absolutely no chance at all of blocking Reggie.

Then there is the story of when the Eagles played the Giants, and Reggie sacked Phil Simms at least three times that game. I'd have to check, but it might have been 4. Anywayz, the last time Reggie sacked him, when Simms was getting up, Reggie said, "Don't worry Phil, Jesus loves you." Well, Simms didn't take to well to that comment, and screamed, "Why don't you just shut up Preacher man!! "  That was great stuff back in the day.

When I was most of your guys age, and we were all going to the Vet to watch my man Jody, Reggie was the friggen' shtein, he was without a doubt, the main man on that team. We were in awe of what he did to opposing lineman. None of us had ever seen anything like it before, and most likely never will again. He was soooo strong and sooo damn quick. He could beat you every way possible, and guys that went up against him never knew what to expect, a swim move, bull rush, he did it all with perfection. I mean, you sat there just waiting for him to get that key sack, and he was at his best on third down, double team or not. He damn shore didn't need anyone to lay down for him, like that loud mouth gap toothed Jersey Giant. I swear, Strahan couldn't carry Reggie's jock.

That's good shtein.

When watching the induction, they reminded me of Reggie's sack number in 1987.  21 sacks in 12 games.   12 games.  If it weren't for that strike... Strahan wouldn't have approached that record... Favre or no Favre.

Two Hall of Famers, I really like the angle of Aikman in this pic.

[Diomedes]

I rather like Aikman, and don't like White all that much.  But it's a great photo.  Warms my heart as an Eagles fan.

[shorebird]

When Aikman was playing, I hated his friggen' guts, because he was so damn good and played for the Cowboys. I hated losing to them.

Now he's and announcer and I find he has some good insight to the games and halfway enjoy listening to him do the color.

Ditto.  I'm not even ashamed of myself for liking him.  He's good.  He was good then, he's good now.  Nothing wrong with that. 

[Rome]

Aikman's the best color analyst in any sport.

And yeah, it sickens me to say that because complimenting a Cowboy goes against everything I believe in.

I like Joe Buck a little better, Aikman is good but sometimes he says things that make you wonder if his concussions have caught up with him.

I like Joe Buck too.  Most people seem to hate him.

I don't know about what he says, but he shore looks like his head has tagged the turf at the Vet one time too many times. He needs a lot of makeup.

[QB Eagles]

Fran Tarkenton and Dan Fouts said "Hi" from Canton.

My definition of "recent QB" doesn't go back that far. In any case, those two certainly don't lower the bar for McNabb at all.

Anytime I think of Joe Buck, I think of "That's a disgusting act by Randy Moss, and it's unfortunate we had it on our air live!" I agree with the others that Aikman is the best color guy doing NFL games these days.

Not Buck's highest moment, to be sure.
