This past Saturday, Marshall Faulk, Deion Sanders, and
Shannon Sharpe stood in front of a camera and told the whole world how grateful
and humbled they were to be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. They each
connected with their fans with some form of rags to riches story and either made
himself or an immediate family member shed a tear. Faulk even went so far as to
say “I am a football fan just like all of you.”
Just don’t expect your brothers-in-fandom to sign any of
your memorabilia.
