Has he filed retirement paperwork? Not sure he’s actually eligible.

This trucking zero could have cared the less about race until his mediocre NFL career went bust.

And another thing. Why is the NFL working to appeal to people who don’t consume their product and NEVER will.

As a matter of fact, their goal is to destroy the NFL and the NFL is obliging.

Ive been to the Hall of Fame in Canton multiple times and have always enjoyed the time spent there.

If they induct this fraud in the Hall of Shame, it will sully all of the accomplishments of the great players that have made it based on merit.

Some one should ask Mean Joe Greene if he is OK with having colonoscopy join him in the Hall?
