Good. Faneca lives in my town now.
Nunn long overdue.
Yes congrats. Bout time!
It's going to be a Steelers filled HOF. I'll assume this will be a two night event with the 20' class postponed.

OUTSTANDING!!
This will likely be the last HOF with a former Steeler until Ben retires.

Yep and Bill now.
5 steelers in 2 years. I'll stop complaining about steeler bias in the hof committee for a few years at least, lol
Bill Nunn, The Architect of the 1970s Steelers. He saw talent where others failed to even look. And what's more, there were smart men in Pittsburgh who listened to him.

Both men are extremely well deserving of this award.
Congratulations to both and their families.

Great they both made it. Would never guess looking at Faneca now that he was a OG in the NFL. Funny how some retired players keep the same general physique their whole life while others completely transform. Tunch Ilkin is another former lineman who transformed his body pretty quickly after his playing days. And then there is Harrison who will be squats when he is 90.

Hines Ward to be Alan Faneca's presenter at the HOF ceremony
Man, I would love to be there for that. I was at The Bus’s induction and that was a blast. There were Terrible Towels everywhere in that stadium.

This year will be a Steeler takeover. Alan, Donnie, Bill C, Bill N and Troy.
I’m wondering how many people they will let in the stadium. Also wondering if Hines will make it all the way through his presentation without crying. My money says he won’t.
Interesting choice, the two must be very close.
Good Choice!!

Didn't Stallworth have Swan introduce him, in part, as a message to the voters that Swan should be next?
Array title="tube517 has a reputation beyond repute">
Swann spoke up for Stallworth, who presented Swann. Stallworth got voted in the following year. "The completing the hour" speeches.
Tony Dungy spoke up for Donnie Shell, who presented Dungy and Donnie gets in this year.

That 2005 team would play poker at Potsie's house and as Ike Taylor or maybe Foote said they would party in NYC after the games lol
Faneca, Ward, and Townsend were all in the same draft class. They bonded during the rookie symposiums. Townsend and Ward’s houses are side-by-side. (I’m not sure where Faneca lives.)
