Yeah, I agree with your assessment, as well as Kevin’s above. I just really like mobster / crime movies. Because the Corleones can kill a Pope, and Kevin Costner can bust DeNiro for tax evasion, then I’ll still root the Feds/Swiss can dramatically arrest Blatter as he walks up for his re-coronation.

Any chance the Feds / the Swiss are just waiting to see the outcome of the vote before making their next move? It would be pretty awesome if they nabbed Blatty on his way to the podium to accept reelection. This whole FIFA scandal is playing out like a Godfather Part IV* script.

Someone needs to turn these lawn people on to cacti gardening.

Oh man. Nice.

All I could think of while reading these texts:

ha, this is great, well done.

I had a conversation with J&J similar to the one you guys posted about the other day. A few months back, we called them to see what it would cost for my neighbor’s dive bar to get the fight. Think it was about 4 grand for a capacity of 150. Yikes.

Completely and magnificently true. Best troll on the Bears last season (saw it posted here several times) was #JetsOfTheMidwest.

Outstanding.

Outstanding.

Bingo.

This is great to hear, very inspiring. The gunmen probably would've killed him immediately had they found out. Quite exceptional conduct on Mssr. Bathily's part, particularly in the sense that once the others were safe, he went back out to assess the situation. Completely selfless, the kind of bravery that shivers…

Excellent HOF induction.

Yes, without a doubt. Acquiring access to the ballot and then letting us vote was freaking awesome.

Outstanding, one of the best ever.

Works; thanks!

Is there a dedicated Deadspin HOF Kinja page in the Related Blogs section? Couldn't find anything when I looked. It would be nice to have if not. I like to occasionally look back & read the previous inductees' plaques, but kind of hard to sift through and find them all via tags and searches.
