Welcome to the Hall, Roger Craig ! ! !

Didn’t watch the announcement, but I just saw that Roger Craig was elected to the Hall of Fame by the senior committee or whatever they are. Well-deserved, but he only had a 32 year wait. But hey, when yer in, yer in. Craig of course was the first NFL player to rush and receive over 1,000 yards, back in 1985. The glory years.

Saw a ton of game with him and the Niners in their heyday and he always played hard and never let up.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, but I guess that means that Frank the Tank Gore will have to wait.

    Thank you AK. Most difficult 2 year period in decades since my brother died (when I was 28 and he was 27). Regarding cancer, I hate the disease, as there is NO treatment for the most serious forms of cancer (lung, brain, bone, and prostate cancer – unless you catch it very early).

    So sorry to hear that, Kevin, Steve. It is the worst. Lost my stepfather to bone cancer. He was 52. Avid tennis player and terrific guy. They found it in late August and he was gone in October. It was bad. Started in his leg and went up his spine into his brain. He was a vegetable for the last 3 weeks. Mom refused to put him in the hospital so we both took care of him. She said the night before he passed he squeezed her hand. She said that made it all worth it. So brutal. It was right after I got out of high school.

    My sister, niece, and sister in law have all battled and beaten breast cancer. Do what y’all got to do to make sure you don’t have it.
