Hall of Fame game today. Induction on Saturday. It's good to see him get his recognition (although he still should have the single season sack record).  Well earned.

Every sack with the Vikings:

IMO this one highlight neatly answers how and why Jared Allen is in the HOF.

FWIW Packer Fan knows Jared Allen

I never heard of that during the season.  But yes, he should have the record.

Loved his induction speech as well.  Right amount of fun, serious and sappy.  His credit to his father and mother and then his wife and kids hit home.

In Les's defense...if he had the tape that you have,  he would have likely got after it as well... but he hadnt had a chance to look at the tape yet.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

well you certainly wouldnt have expected him to review tape without making popcorn first did you?  there just isnt enough time at half to get everything done,  some things had to suffer.

Yes, great to see him with his priorities in order.  2 most important decisions in his life.
