Derrick Brooks’ Salutes May Now End

August 1st, 2014

Yes, this is a special weekend for not only the Bucs, but for one of the greatest linebackers whoever donned a helmet in the NFL. Mr. Derrick Brooks, double-nickel, No. 55, will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame tomorrow evening.

(Hint, those planning on watching best not be late. Brooks will be the first of this year’s class to be inducted and to speak.)

Naturally, congratulations are coming to Brooks from all corners. But the best Joe just noticed this evening, and aside from possibly a note from the President of the United States, the well wishes can now stop.

“The Nature Boy,” Ric Flair, of wrestling fame and perhaps one of the most popular wrestlers of all time, saluted Brooks via Twitter and as one can imagine, WWWOOO, it was great.

    Not a Florida State fan, but big time DB fan. The best player out of FL St. period, though some may disagree. Congrats Derrick and Bucs fans.

    After saying for so long “he’s going to the hall of fame someday” while watching him play, it’s great to see that this “future hall of famer” will be formally inducted among the greatest to ever play in Canton tommorow. Couldn’t be happier for this moment.

    It just don’t get no better than the Nature Boy himself sending over a congrats….. Except of course, if we could get Jimmy Hart to announce his name at the induction ceremony. Now that would be the shizzzzz…..

    So let me get this straight.

    A twitter from a washed up, spandex wearing, fake wrestler from what amounts to basically a soap opera for men is as good as it gets for (arguably) the best player in Bucs history?
