The 2018 Hall of Shame...

Not a banner weekend for Canton last weekend.

Among the inductees are a number of "men" who have soiled the game of football and Canton's museum...
  • "Murderer" Ray Lewis, involved in the murders of Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar, got all parties out of it by lying to the police about it, and still was allowed to play and star in the NFL.  He used his murderer reputation to bolster his defensive reputation on the field, and two Super Bowl championships for his teams, including one of the most manipulated games in history:  His final game, Super Bowl XLVII.
  • Randy Moss, a character issue which drove him all the way down to Marshall University in college, a 2002 incident where he bumped or attempted to run over a traffic officer in Minneapolis, and a 2008 dating violence incident which appears to have been covered up in the name of Moss' celebrity.
  • Terrell Owens, who made a complete mockery of football unto himself, both during his time on the field and in his induction into Canton, which should've been nullified the instant he decided not to show up.
Those three men alone made this one of the saddest moments in any Hall of Fame, making one have to wonder about the future of any real quality men who wish to share the honor.
