The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame held its first induction ceremony in 1986, honoring rock progenitors like Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Elvis Presley. This year, inductees include Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Phil Collins, and others.
Browner was selected as a first time All-Pro three times and to six consecutive Pro Bowls in nine seasons for the Vikings. He had 37 interceptions, returning three for touchdowns, and 17 forced fumbles in 138 games for the franchise.
The Arizona Cardinals will take on the Carolina Panthers in the annual Hall of Fame exhibition game on Aug. 6 as part of enshrinement week. The Hall announced the matchup on Wednesday between two of the teams that have former stars set to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next summer.
Each of the stops along my career path was important to me, but it was with the Giants where I had the most success and spent the most time during my career, Kent said.
You won't find this in Cortina d'Ampezzo over the next few weeks, but for several decades of the Olympics' history, the contest awarded medals not just for sport but for art too. In the Summer Games from 1912 to 1948, musicians, painters, and plenty of other aesthetes went brain-to-brain in events such as lyric poetry and chamber music. "Town planning" was even contested one year under the umbrella of the architecture competition.
It's the heart of the offseason, with a couple more weeks left until free agency kicks off. That makes it a prime time to dive into the history of the Atlanta Falcons and, of course, argue about it. Today, we're going to kick off a series of articles and votes for the Falcons all-century team. We'll go position-by-position, one to two a day, and try to come up with a starting lineup and direct backups who should be considered the best of the best for the Falcons from 2000-2025.
Porter said that the Hall plans to return to in-person voting and discussion for the 50-member committee after moving to a virtual meeting room following the COVID pandemic.

"I don't think about it too much because it's an individual accolade, and I know this is a team sport. I just know that it [would] help my case a little bit. I always wanted that, though," Diggs told reporters this week when asked about his desire to become a Hall of Famer. "I'm never gonna shun or run away from wanting to be a Hall of Famer or wanting to be a guy that played this game and be respected, so I don't run from that. But I know this would help your case a little bit."
Instead, with the Seahawks trailing 28-24 and 26 seconds to play, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell with the authorization of coach Pete Carroll called for a quick slant pass from quarterback Russell Wilson to wide receiver Ricardo Lockette. New England safety Malcolm Butler got there first with an interception at the 1. The Patriots (15-4) won their fourth of six Lombardi Trophies under coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.
Pro Bowl games used to be full contact affairs. Then they slowly started removing some of the contact elements for injury concerns. It started to resemble non-contact football, especially across the line of scrimmage. So they decided to replace it with flag football and a skills competition.
