So happy for Grimm, long overdue that a Hog got in to the Hall

It's too hard to be positive for a lot of folks.

Also speaks to why it took so long to get Grimm in. His name creates little fanfare.

I just got back from my first trip to the Pro Football HoF (3 weeks ago)
I made sure to have my wife take a picture of me with Russ Grimm's picture which is now in the main lobby of the HoF along with all of the other 2010 inductees. A great trip!!! and as a 41 year old and Redskins fan since the late 70's, I remember the Hogs vividly. I am thrilled that Russ Grimm is getting inducted this weekend.

I always thought Mayday was going to be better than Grimm due to his higher draft status, but draft position isn't everything. Every fan knew who was the better Hog by the end of that first year together. The whole Hogs line should be inducted, but that's a story line for another time.
