“An official wasn’t paying attention when there was a violation against one of our student-athletes? We get that; it happens.”

Tom Dempsey is still waiting for his HOF call, but the Selection Committee feels he’s already part of an elite club.

Yeah, being the “Best Lion” doesn’t necessarily help your resume.

Yes, this isn’t baseball. BBWAAWTF would find rEAsoNs to make him wait.

I hate when people refer to players by their nicknames. I had to live through a 20-year span of people in my life talking about Stevie, Drapes, and D-Mac on the Red Wings. They’re not your friends!
