What I'll be reading this busy weekend:

As is mandatory a couple of days throughout the year, no matter where I'm living or doing, I make a point of getting a print copy of USA Today's Super Bowl coverage.

Three former Redskins I watched every weekend for years are among the 17 players under consideration: Darrell Green, Russ Grimm and Art Monk.

They should all get in! But likely won't -again.

As should former Dolphin Bob Kuechenberg whom I watched perform phenomenally as a Dolphin season ticket holder for years, and former Chicago Bear Richard Dent, whom I watched up-close and personal while living in Chicago/Evanston for two years in the mid-80's, during the Bears' reign as the most dominant and popular sports team in the country.

Their omission all these years has been nothing less than a disgrace.

Unlike most Dolphin fans, I've never been a Jason Taylor fan.

If it'd been up to me a few years ago, I'd have kept and re-signed former Hoosier Odewale Ogunleye, who was younger, cheaper and better-balanced, and traded Jason Taylor to an NFC team instead, before his grumpy, home-schooled ingrained selfish attitude, one that yells

"Do as I say, Not as I do," started infecting the younger players.

To me, he's a leader in name only.

For Dolphin fans with a penchant for calling up Miami sports radio call-in shows in the spring or following Dolphin games when Jason Taylor actually shows some hustle to praise him, and invariably say he's a lock for the HOF, consider that Richard Dent was a much better player

than Taylor, playing against much better teams: the dominant Giant and 49er teams.

Dent was a dominant player on one of the most dominant defensive teams in NFL history and

the Super Bowl MVP from over 20 years ago -and he's still waiting!

Jason Taylor, he of the up-and-down 2007 Dolphin season -after sitting-out 99% of preseason- getting 'worked' by rookies in the mud at Pittsburgh, don't call us, we'll call you!
In about 25 years, IF then.
