Enough of this “who gets in?” and then letting those other guys determine it. It’s time that our knowledgeable fans determined who is enshrined in the Sports Jabber Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Here is how it works…

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s “The Stack” with me, Nathan Stacken. Today is the last day of June and we enter the dawg days of summer soon. We have several topics to get into today so let’s get right to it and see what made “The Stack”:

With the NFL lockout still in place, players that are free agents have a serious disadvantage in trying to get ready for the 2011 season—if there is one.

I wrote something last week about how I think it will end up getting worked up but this is about what is actually happening right now, not what I’m thinking and hoping will happen three or four months down the line. And what is happening right now is the owners are attempting to scare the players into giving in before the deadline by…

The SEC submitted its suggestions for changes to NCAA rules regarding recruiting athletes. And surprise, surprise, the SEC’s representatives want to make their own jobs easier.
