All I can say over this Hall of Fame game debacle is LOL. It’s one thing to get rained out, it’s another if your players aren’t playing due to labor disputes, but when your field is painted wrong? That’s just funny. I needed that laugh.

In other news, congrats again to Eddie DeBartolo for his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. While the speech was long, every minute was worth it, and when he mentioned how Bill Walsh left a note for this day, my jaw just absolutely dropped and I felt the hairs on my arm tingle. It was just an awesome moment.

Oh and we had a practice.
