Mooshocker Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 when inducted into the HOF? Will go in as a Bill or a Redskin out of financial spite? Also, any thoughts on who will introduce him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 The Football HOF doesn't have players or coaches go in as any one team. Since they get a bust put in without a hat or helmet there is no way to identify them. They only go in with a plaque showing their accomplishments.

I have no idea but surely he would consider himself a Bill.....regardless of his final contract situation. Bills: 15 years, 11 probowls Skins: 4 years, 0 probowls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Philster Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 He'll be in as a Bill. I don't care what their website says, but players go in as a member of a certain team(s)...and the proof of that is in the Hall itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleed Bills Blue Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Easy to know who Bruce really represents. Just size up the % of Bills to Redskins fans in the crowd at Canton on induction day! As to who will introduce him...I think Lori would do an admirable job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I remember a few years back Bruce was doing an interview with somebody(might've been Best Damn Sports Show but I'm not sure) and they asked him about the accomplishment of getting the all-time sack record while he was with the Redskins and he talked about how great it was and all but then he paused for a moment and said but that will never compare to all those years and memories in Buffalo, so I think that'll speak for itself.

Tcali Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 when inducted into the HOF? Will go in as a Bill or a Redskin out of financial spite? Also, any thoughts on who will introduce him? I think he wants people to focus on his Bills days..lol.Even if he hated the Bills--which he doesnt--It wouldnt be beneficial to him for people to remember him as a redskin in future generations. He was getting to be a pretty pathetic player by the time he played for the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffal0 Bill5 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'm certain he will show up in a Redkins jersey with a host of Washington team mates there in support. They will probably have to move the induction to DC that year to accomodate everyone who wants to be in attendance. Bad thread man, Bad thread.

Ok then why do players sign one day contracts in order to retire with the team that they want to be inducted with. Remember Thurman Thomas?

Fewell733 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 ever since Thurman went in as a Dolphin and Kelly went in as a Houston Gambler, I don't think we can afford to take anything for granted. I am so sick of Buffalo being disrespected this way - it makes me so madddddd!!!!!! this thread deserves only nonsensical responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
