History Revisited

Posted by Charger_Girl

June 17, 2008 |

As part of the NFL’s rookie orientation, each team has scheduled a trip to Canton, OH to visit the NFL Hall of Fame.  The Chargers visited last Saturday, after watching the Padres play the Cleveland Indians.  For many of these young players, it was an opportunity to revisit the past, particularly since the majority of HOF inductees served as role models for the current players.  In addition to the guided tour every visitor enjoys, the Chargers had the added benefit of Hall of Famer and Bolts’ WR coach Charlie Joiner to give them a unique, first-hand perspective.

Interestingly, the idea for this addition to rookie orientation was courtesy of ex-Cowboy Michael Irvin who, in a conversation with League Commissioner Roger Goodell, stated that young players would greatly benefit from learning more about the history of the sport.

Visiting the Hall of Fame is high on my list of things to do before I die; including watching the Chargers win a Super Bowl, publishing my collection of NFL poetry, and meeting Stephen King.
