Seriously, that is an awesome article, and they hit the nail on the head. Flood deserves to be in the Hall. Now, I'm not saying that as a Cardinals fan. They could put him in without a team for all I care.

The way I see it is that any man who can have an impact as profound as that on a game that was already so established deserves some credit for it. The fact that he sacrificed his career mandates that he receive credit for it.

Nice read. ;-D

Yes, I do believe Flood and his story belong in the Hall. ;-D
Yes doctor, I am sick.
Sick of those who are spineless.
Sick of those who feel self-entitled.
Sick of those who are hypocrites.
Yes doctor, an army is forming.
Yes doctor, there will be a war.
Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
