I hope plenty of you did stay up for the 3rd Quarter to see Jason's career profile, and interview.
Of course, someone should have told Tafoya that it's not Ak-RON. Especially when she said it right to Jason. Like my wife said to me, "Hasn't she probably heard the name of LeBron's hometown spoken about 1,000,000 times during her time as a sports reporter"?
Just during that short segment, I think they mentioned the U of A maybe 4 times? Including that it's "just down the road" from the HOF? A nice bit of free publicity. Very touching that Jason said that being a HOF Father was something that he wanted to be noted for.
I also thought it was kinda cool that at least 2 of the inductees said that they'd be presented by their wives. As Kurt Warner put it, "she's the only one that's been with me through all of this". I just think it's great when anyone who has a career with very unusual demands recognizes their spouses who sacrificed so much of their own lives to support them for so many years. I think I'd probably do the same if I ever got inducted to any business HOF. I'm sure someone will make a comment that the ladies benefit from the money, but in many cases (like Kurt's) there were plenty of tough times where things weren't going so well.
