The Campaign For Zach Thomas in 2020

Last Summer in Ohio, a class of Hall-of-Fame football players were ready for induction into immortality. Gold Jackets worn, bronze busts sculpted, and the silver-lining that comes with the finality of a career.

The August tradition is unlike any other in sports, in my opinion. To me, football is the quintessential microcosm of life. Many aspects of “the game,” both pigskin and life itself, need to work in cohesiveness for long-term goals to be accomplished. The speeches tell the stories with drama in its greatest form.

Reality.

It is really a remarkable crossroads, as many times player’s journeys are very similar yet some are very different, but in between are those speeches you hear from your past heroes, favorites and even villains.
