So when we finally got back to the hotel last night after attending the Hall of Fame game and eating too many pancakes at the North Canton IHOP (hey, they’re a new NFL sponsor so we’ll give them a free plug), it was time to prop the eyelids open with toothpicks and bang out a SportingNews.com column.
(I can hear your collective invisible violins.)
