In case you guys missed this from a few years ago, Frank is a tough m'fer.

You could tell those Colts teams were soft.

Here's a crazy notion. Frank is making 1.25. Putting his 36 year old body on the line every week being a producer. What say buffalo rewrite his contract with a 500K Hall of Fame bonus as Goodwill. Maybe all the teams on the schedule pitch in 50K to say thank you Frank for all you have done and continue to do. New chapter for labor relations in America in the age of the Pharaohs. What say.

Just came across a neat story today from one of Frank's cousins, Shaq Cooper.

"When he was in high school, I was playing Little League football, and when he went to college, I was still playing Little League football," Cooper recalled of the five-time Pro Bowler. "I used to go to the field with him, he had a homemade tire he used to put me and my brother in, and he would run with us in it. I had to be in, like, Grade 6 or 5.

"At 10 o'clock at night, nobody was telling him to work out, he was doing it on his own."

Seriously, his work ethic is right there with Jerry. I'm starting to really think that in about 4-5 years, he is going to overtake Jerry for the all-time yardage title.

Best overall summary I've seen on why Gore should be a HOFer.




Incredibly, Gore has become even more durable with age. He missed 12 games from 2005 through 2010. Since 2011, he has missed only two games.

Through it all, he has 3,443 rushing attempts, 15,021 rushing yards, a highly-respectable average of 4.4 yards per carry, and another 459 touches in the passing game. That's more than 3,900 times in the regular season that Gore has had the ball in his hands and, necessarily, a bull's-eye all over his body.

He's got nine 1,000-yard seasons. He has a career-high season of 1,695 yards. And he has a plausible shot at catching Walter Payton for No. 2 on the all-time list.

Gore also played in a Super Bowl, rushing for 110 yards in a game the 49ers nearly won. Barry Sanders didn't play in a Super Bowl. LaDainian Tomlinson didn't play in a Super Bowl. Adrian Peterson hasn't played in a Super Bowl. Eric Dickerson didn't play in a Super Bowl.

Gore has more career rushing yards from all of them.

With his next start, Frank will rack up his 200th start in the NFL. Emmitt is the only other RB in NFL history to start 200 games.

This is an important endorsement. Remember the HOF voting committee is made up of media members. When top level peer like Florio comes out and says it that helps make the case. Need a few more guys to do that.
