Basisphilosophie » David Baker and the Hall of Fame made the right decision

It didn’t take long for others to want jewelry Womens Noah Fant Jersey , once the Pro Football Hall of Fame opened Pandora’s box.After the Hall of Fame decided to award a gold jacket and ring to the family of the late Pat Bowlen, who passed away after his election but before his induction, others inevitably wanted to see the material representations go to the families of those inducted posthumously.Via Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com, Raiders owner Mark Davis said he was happy for the Bowlen family, and hopes others get the same treatment.“and I believe it opens the door to reconsidering awarding rings and jackets to the families of all deceased enshrinees,” Davis said. “It opens the door to making it right for other families, like Junior Seau’s and Kenny Stabler’s.“There’s no reason I should have my father’s ring and Bruce Allen does not have his. As a new member of the NFL owners Hall of Fame Committee, I’ll continue to advocate for the families.”Davis has been banging this drum for years, but the Bowlen decision gave him a fresh opportunity to beat it again.Davis inherited his father Al’s ring in 2011. Allen’s father George died in 1990 and was enshrined in 2002.The Hall reversed course on its previous policy of not awarding the jackets and rings, using the excuse that they were in the “process” of creating Bowlen’s when they died. Previously, they held firm when Seau was elected in 2015 and Stabler in 2016, after they had passed.Davis suggesting he’d use a little influence to put pressure on the decision is predictable, but likely effective Womens Dre'Mont Jones Jersey , if he can round up a few other owners and the league itself to join his cause. Of course, if the league really wants it done, they could tap into their far greater financial resources, since the Hall is run independently and doesn’t have the same kind of budget.There was one important takeaway from the Broncos win over the Raiders The Denver Broncos came away with a big time comeback win over the Oakland Raiders. Beating a division rival is always important, but this win was extra sweet. Most fans went into the game thinking it would be an easy win. It wasn’t, but as Ian St. Clair and I said on the MHR Radio Podcast, it said a lot about this team.There is no doubt that the first half was filled with disappointments. The Broncos first three possessions ended in three-and-outs. The fourth was a poorly thrown ball resulting in an interception just as the Broncos looked like they were going to score. The defense bent, but did not break in those possessions.After holding the Raiders to two field goals during the team’s offensive ineptitude, Oakland finally broke through at the end of the second half. After a nearly 5-minute drive, Marshawn Lynch punched in a one-yard touchdown run. This score led to what may have been the play of the game. On the ensuing extra point try, Shaquil Barrett broke through the line and got a hand on the kick. Heading into the locker room at halftime the Broncos were being shutout, but Barrett’s block seemed like it could be a turning point. And it would certainly factor in at the end of the game. However, the one big thing Denver did that led to victory was to never surrender. It may feel clich茅, but the Broncos never gave up Womens Bradley Chubb Jersey , or rolled over. For the second week in a row, Case Keenum brought the team back. Even in the final drive the Broncos overcame the adversity of Demaryius Thomas dropping an easy pass. When Tim Patrick caught the short pass from Keenum and took it out to the 18-yard line, the comeback was all but complete. Brandon McManus set up for 36-yard field goal, which he promptly kicked through the uprights. Marquette King gave him some enthusiastic head butts, and the Broncos were 2-0.It was nowhere near a perfect game for Denver. The Broncos had two touchdown passes taken away from them by bad replay calls. Thomas had the drops. The offense was not just shut out, but shut down in the first half. Derek Carr had a near perfect game. There were a plethora of moments to choose from that helped get the Broncos to 2-0. However, there was only one big thing that got the Broncos their big win.
