Tune in for this weekend's tape-delay broadcast!

 
The newly revamped Hall of Fame Game will be broadcast this weekend. Kicking of the NFL81 preseason and combining the defunct Pro Bowl and College All-Star Game, the game highlights a gala weekend in Canton, Ohio, which also features the induction of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 1981:
  • "Red" Badgro, to be presented by Mel Hein, one of Badgro's former Giants teammates;
  • Willie Davis, to be presented by Eddie Robinson, Al Davis's coach at Grambling State University;
  • George Blanda, to be presented by Al Davis, managing general partner of the Raiders, and
  • Jim Ringo, to be presented by Willard "Whiz" Rinehart, Ringo's coach at Phillipsburgh (N.J.) High School.
