Open Thread: Russ Grimm Hall of Fame Induction

by Kevin Ewoldt on Aug 7, 2010 1:05 PM EDT in Redskins Events

I'll make this kind of a Slop/Open Thread. Haynesworth as I'm sure you heard passed his test, but he called it a day early spending the day in a baseball cap with his knee wrapped. Larry Johnson and Fred Davis are having monster days. Homer McFanboy is predicting huge things for LJ who has not had a bad day yet. Graham Gano has also shined...I thought this last year and I'll re-iterate it again...Gano will be our kicker for many years. He's been kicking in clutch situations from the early days, including Florida State.

Ken and I have a big day. We're headed over to the Extreme Skins tailgate at the Hall of Fame now. We'll be podcasting with Mike Richman down on the field and post-ceremony, we'll be headed over to the Russ Grimm shindig that the Redskins sponsored for him. Since the induction is broadcast live, this can be the open thread. I'll be twittering if you want to follow that. http://twitter.com/hogshaven

Finally

It’s about time a Hog got in the Hall. Hopefully, Jacoby will joim him soon.

Jacoby belongs there

But then you have to start thinking about Mark May. If Grimm is in and then Jacoby goes in then they have to put May in.The Bostic and Starke. Then Lachey, Schlereth, Brown and then Warren. Look how long it took Monk to get in. He retired the NFL’s all time receptions leader and he had three rings.

Just because one or two get in does not mean that everyone should get in.

Grimm, Jacoby, maybe May. No one else, imo

I forgot Raleigh McKenzie. He's in!.

Actually

I could argue that the Schlereth, Simmons, McKenzie, Brown, Lachey line was the best line. Two Super bowls and Rypian was sacked only seven times(I think) in 1992. It was an NFL record for fewest sacks allowed. And that is something considering it was Rypian at qb.

There's about 30 redskins fans here at the ExtremeSkins Redskins tailgate

Great time. Ken and I are chilling with the hogettes and liger99. Hogettes want to be a part of this site. Great news for everyone.

Hogs Haven. On Twitter. And Facebook.

Skins Fans

both you and we Broncos fans may rejoice today. Russ Grimm was a great O-lineman. Good luck to you guys this season. I love both Shanny and McNabb!

Grimm's speech

Very verry good.

I'm worried about the beer supply. After this case, and the other case, there's only one case left- Barney Gumble

Read his whole speech if you missed it.

He told me that playing offensive line, there’s no greater feeling than to be able to move a man from Point A to Point B against his will. I tried it; I liked it; and I was playing offensive line (smiling).
