I also know that today will be your day to absorb the magic & inspiration that defined D.T. Have a great day Mr. Gretz. Thanks for all your determination, fortitude & hard work on the Derrick Thomas Hall of Fame selection & subsequent induction. Bob,

Hopefully all the old coaches would be there. Truly DT was one of the best LB to play the game. I’m glad to see after 3years my boy DT finally getting his due.

That includes Marty Schottenheimer, Kurt Schottenheimer, Dave Adolph, Woody Lowe and yes, Gunther Cunningham. Only those who know Gunther know how remarkable it is that he’s leaving the Detroit Lions training camp to attend the induction in Canton. Right now the only man who coached Derrick who hasn’t committed is Bill Cowher and he’s trying to change his schedule so he can make an appearance there." Dan,

This year, of course, will be even more special because of DT going in but even now, it's bittersweet because he won't be there in person. Still, the stories, the past achievement highlighted on the screen and the pure raw emotion of the moment make for must-see TV this year or any other. Congrats to the great #58 of the Chiefs. I already know my eyes won't be dry when DT gets the nod and officially enters the Hall.

Hopefully they will be there Sat. night. Is there an issue with Marty? Congratulations to the Thomas family. Bob,
