Visiting the Pro Football HoF, any Advice?

Hey guys I am heading to Canton, Ohio next week. I've always wanted to go and I heard Luke Kuechly has a display as the Defensive Player of the Year so I am making the trip.

 

If anyone has advice on things to do in Canton, let me know. Maybe there is a bar where Hall of Famers have met up for the past 40 years....that kind of stuff. Or just a good place to get dinner. 

 

I've heard the Hall of Fame is rather underwhelming, some people only spend an hour or two there. I'm a huge fan of history and football, if you guys think I will need more than a 1 day pass let me know.

 

If you guys have been and there is any other advice, I'd appreciate it.

Not been yet but know a fam that has relatives nearby and goes at least every other summer. One day should scratch your itch and you will know by the end of the day how much more you want.

 

I'm actually working on taking just my kids up to the Rock and Roll HOF and also to Canton just so they get a different flavor of humanity.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
