you turn to people like mike shannon yeah i don't know i think that's a bad mistake yeah no it is and hopefully it's corrected uh in time for for next year too and i think your your views are i'm just thinking about something you said to me yesterday we don't need to talk about it actually on air but we need to pick it up after the after the show so you need to remind me about this conversation about your thoughts around the hall of fame going forward because i've had a lot of time to think about it and you're absolutely correct about what you and i should do

Oh, yes.

Yeah, no, continue.

Well, we can talk about it on air.

No, no, I don't want to talk about it on air.

Well, anyway, people will say, oh, what is it?

It's just about encouraging all the members to get as many as you possibly can to get there on the night.

Yeah, and I've been really tardy in this area too, so I'm one of those people to blame.

And going forward, I think we need to make sure that we set up maybe sort of people from each club that are responsible then for trying to get their people there.

And each era even, you know, people that played in your era, just trying to make sure that they're along for that night as well.

Because the people that get inducted to turn out and look out into the crowd and see those sorts of people out there.

I remember looking out and seeing Stephen Kernaghan, like his big melon was sticking out above everyone else's.

Was it?

Put you off a bit or not?

No, it made you feel as chuffed as anything.

I just wanted to play you this because this is a guy by the name – no one will know who this bloke is, but you might have seen him if you followed NFL over the years.

He's a big fella.

He's a big fella.

Named Bob Wiley.

He's the Browns in the NFL offensive line coach, right?
