Do you still watch the NFL Hall of Fame inductions?

[BillsPride12]

When I was younger I used to never miss them and they always felt like the official kickoff to the new season starting.  I'm not sure if it's just me being older and more jaded or if the quality of them have legitimately dropped a bit but in the more recent years they just don't grab my interest as much.  It's been awhile since I've sat done and watched one.

 

But I am planning on at least watching some of this one coming up next week.  I have read they are planning on doing something special for Marv's 100th Birthday and I really want to watch Sterling Sharpe get inducted.  That is really the last old school guy I grew up watching as a kid that I have been waiting to see get inducted.  I think you look at it a little bit differently when you are talking about the players you watched as a kid when everything felt so larger than life.  After Sharpe gets inducted I don't think there will be anybody that I get truly excited to see go in until that day comes for Josh Allen lol.

They are so short now there is barely any point.

[Mike in Horseheads]

I only watch them if there are any Bills.   I pry watch the baseball ones more.... (of course I didn't today)

Do they still do that HOF thing?

[Sierra Foothills]

Have they gotten better at letting the paint dry on the field before playing the HOF Game?

The thing for Marv is Friday night as he will be there in Canton, but is leaving right afterwards as has to be be back in Chi Town for a signing event over the weekend.  I'm guessing they will show a taped replay of about 30 seconds of Marv's celebration during the actual televised event.

 

And I too don't watch it like I use to either.  Speeches have got way too long.

[Another Fan]

No.

 

 

Even for someone that interested me recently like Joe Klecko you could just eventually YouTube it.

Well that’s the point of that game… it is indeed to watch the paint dry. 

[Ned Flanders]

If I’m around and not doing much, I may tune in, but I won’t make time to watch.

I think it’s the thing they put on TV for lack of other programing. It’s on right before they try to sell you an air fryer or something. I’m happy for them, but you can’t make me watch that, unless a Bill was getting in. Then I’d give it a chance, briefly.
