CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Russ Grimm on Saturday became the first member of the Washington Redskins' renowned "Hogs" offensive line inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Joining Grimm in the Class of 2010 were Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, John Randle, Dick LeBeau, Rickey Jackson and Floyd Little.

Grimm, an outstanding guard with the Redskins from 1981 to 1991, won three Super Bowls with the team, whose offense was built around the Hogs. At left guard, Grimm was a powerful run blocker and an often-impenetrable pass protector who was chosen for the league's all-decade team of the 1980s.

Grimm was presented by his offensive line coach with the Redskins, Joe Bugel, who called Grimm the "Head Hog," the go-to guy on that line.

"It's a privilege to play in the NFL," said Grimm, now the assistant head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. "It's been a privilege to coach in the NFL. It's an honor to be selected here in Canton."

Grimm called the Hogs "a group of guys that grew together, worked together, rose families together" and said he would have their names embroidered on the inside of his gold Hall of Fame jacket.

It's a shame that the Hoggettes were in the Hall of Fame before Russ Grimm but we have one Hog in and the rest will hopefuly follow.

My Fantasy Football Pledge

Ok, so most of my friends know that I have never been a Fantasy Football guru. In past years I have done everything from finish last to just quitting in the middle of the season due to frustration. I always start the year off with great intentions. I love the idea of Fantasy Football I just get frustrated very easily. I have done some deep searching and realized my past mistakes. In the past I have ranked and drafted based on emotion and not on ability. I have let my hatred of teams (Cowboys) and players (anyone that is in the NFC East that is not a Redskin) stop me from creating a great Fantasy Football team.
This year I have decided that I will embrace the whole challenge of Fantasy Football. I will diligently rank my players, actively participate in the drafting process, update my teams, and carefully track injuries and roster changes. I will talk smack and win both of the leagues that I have teams in. I will post my weekly results here for the world (of the five people that read this blog) to see. I WILL BE VICTORIOUS!!!
In an effort to meet my goals I turned to a friend who is a Fantasy Football success story (and the first person to kick me out of their league for lack of skill and commitment). He will list his suggestions and tips for this year’s Fantasy Football Season in my next post and feel free to add your own tips in the comments.
