2022 Knock on the Door

[@ericlarsen4050]

Art McNally passed away on New Years at age 97. Happy to see he got inducted while he was still alive.

[@scsmith4604]

He had they best reaction of all of them

[@lls3676]

I'm glad he lived long enough to get the great news.

[@LegallyBlind21]

To think Dick Vermeil one of the games greatest mind is tucked away in a Cabin in the middle of nowhere is really cool to see.

[@uaremyjae]

I like this concept of knock on the door for HOF. We need more this kind of knock on the door. It felt wholesome! The feelings of knowing you are being told to be inducted to HOF by your own friends and teammates makes it more special!

[@michaelfalkner1186]

I get what you are saying there, but there was the knowledge of David Baker and what that knock meant -- which is why many who received it were already being cheered, mobbed, hugged etc. before they opened the door to him.

[@EyeOfThePhi]

nah. black folks already have to deal with so much trauma including no knock warrants (RIPower Breonna Taylor) this random knocking crap could cause a lot of stress for these Black Men who already gave it there all on the field. a simple phone call would suffise.

Mr. Baker retired from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

[@michaelfalkner1186]

@@nicholasbenge9497 I'm fully aware of that -- so the change was made.

[@RichV20]

It feels more earned with a HOF telling you. It's like a very small fraternal order, and a brother that you probably know does the honor I've telling you you are in. And the honor of one day getting to tell a new HOF that they are in. We don't need a new David Baker, where it felt awkward sometime anyway. Brother telling brother feels deep after years of battle and blood.

[@mikewilliams7985]

True, one of the few things the NFL has actually gotten right.

[@drakerector4997]

I do wish David Baker still did the knocks. The way he talked about the HOF you could just sense the tremendous amount of respect he had for the game. With that being said if David Baker has to retire I am glad they didn’t try to replace him and just went another route

[@shawnp6744]

That knock is special. Grown, tough men cry. For eternity you will be know as Pro Football Hall of Famer.

[@danallshaw1131]

Always thought coach Vermeil was overlooked. Great to see good friends knock and get big hugs:))

[@mikewilliams7985]

He was, great to see him get his due.

[@Shinigasumi]

Overlooking him is crazy - he was the architech of the Greatest Show on Turf. He deserves to be there, and no one better than Kurt Warner to be the one who tells him.

[@justinmix143]

Art McNally = best official in the history of the game, makes the hall at 95 yrs old ❤️✊😭. So awesome

[@kraigthorne3549]

When are they going to put cheerleaders and water boys in the Hall of Fame?

[@michaelfalkner1186]

And he died within the next year.

[@jaycos4905]

Never gets old, this is the best hall of fame in all of sports.

[@samholder196]

i like this approach, but i *really* liked Baker's speech -- it had such immense gravitas, worthy of such an immense moment for these extraordinary dudes. Train up these HOFers to give that speech and you have a home run.

[@cyberwolf2383]

Hearing about Tony Boselli’s enshrinement made me cry. I always knew he would make it and he did. GO JAGUARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gothard5]

absolutely and so should Willie Anderson

[@Njbear7453]

That is any offensive lineman’s dream to have Anthony Munoz telling you you’re going into the Hall of fame

[@briancarter655]

#Leroy Butler was all purpose safety! Excellent at playing the pass and defending against the deep play. He could also stuff the box under Holgrim & Mc Cathy scemes. One of the best on the safety blitz!

[@mikewilliams7985]

Butler had as much talent as the best safeties but did what was needed for the team to win and still put up HOF worthy stats. One of my favorite players ever.

[@silver9729]

Leroy deserved HOF for being the first Lambeau leaper. One of the best traditions in sports

[@JoeG_420]

I’m happy that McNally found out that he was being selected for the Pro Football Hall of Fame before his death. R.I.P. Art

[@donaldyoung9002]

Some of the greatest players of all time , and all deserving of being in the hall of fame!

[@kraigthorne3549]

Yes and NO! NOT ONE of them deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. If it were up to me 20% of the people in the Hall of Fame would not be in there.

[@chefduane3742]

Its one thing to win a Division, or the Conference, or even a Super Bowl. It's an achievement to be a Super Bowl MVP. But to be told by a HOF'er that your body of work (and work, and work, and work) throughout your career has been recognized by your peers and you have reached the pinnacle of your profession has to be very moving. The financial rewards are great, the beautiful house and cars are great, but they will pass. The recognition as a Hall of Famer will last forever. Congratulations to the Class of 2022!

I liked the randy moss one… what he must have been feeling… his journey passing before his teary eyes… man!!!

It better be Jason Taylor knocking

[@RichV20]

I'd bet its Jimmy Johnson.

[@roberthudson1959]

About the same time that this comment was posted, Jimmy Johnson informed Thomas that he would be inducted into the Hall of Fame on 5 August, 2023.

Baker knock on the door is way better. Also love how he presents on what coming to Canton is all about.

[@michaelewert8310]

Some day it will be Jim Marshall's knock.

[@nrkgalt]

Marshall once had the record for consecutive games played. He was the Cal Ripken of football until a punter passed him. If he does get in they should have Alan Page knock on his door. Marshall should greet Page by saying, “Your honor.”

[@alabamaskar52522]

I love what they did with This actual going to the new industries house and telling them the news that way

[@gothard5]

Also, seeing Munoz knocking on Tony’s door makes me want to see him knocking on Big Willie’s door even more. Willie Anderson deserved to get into the HOF this year. He was better than Joe Thomas. He damn well better make it in next year.

As a Bengals fan, I love seeing two of the greatest offensive linemen ever hug it out, but why did they send Munoz to Boselli’s place? same position, similar careers? were there no other Jaguars HOFers to do that?

[@TimmyTickle]

No. Boselli is the first Jag ever to make the HoF.

[@nrkgalt]

Munoz and Boselli both went to USC, so they have that connection as well.

[@willisrc3113]

Where’s the knock from Hampton, Dent and Singletary on Steve McMichael’s door??? Oh never mind, the Hall voters Snubbed him. Not disrespecting to Bryant Young and Richard Seymour BUT Mongo McMichael had statistically a better career. More sacks ( 95 and nearly double Seymour’s total) and more tackles (800+) than them. McMichael couldn’t be blocked one on one, could play sideline to sideline, caught Randell Cunningham from behind 20 yds down the field, was feared by QBs and O Lineman around the league, was the motor that made the great Bears D go. Truly disgusting to be snubbed by the pompous sports writers who voted. They should be ashamed.
