It will begin at 8 p.m. on be telvised nationally on NBC's Sunday Night Football.

The Hall of Fame Game, played the day after the induction of the hall’s newest class of enshrinees, caps a multi-day festival in Canton.

The Class of 2008 – defensive end Fred Dean, cornerback Darrell Green, wide receiver Art Monk, cornerback Emmitt Thomas, linebacker Andre Tippett and tackle Gary Zimmerman – will be formally enshrined during a ceremony held the night before the game.

Of course, the last game of the 2007 season is about to begin in Hawaii, the annual NFL Pro Bowl.

why don't you ever give us inside info on the Bengals? WE DON'T CARE about the Pro Bowl! We want your opinion on the Chad Johnson trade. What's going to happen there?!?! Who are the Bengals thinking about drafting? We don't know because you never tell us! PLEEEEASE! We love our Bengals. We want to know what's going on. I don't mean to be rude, I'm just speaking out for my fellow fans and friends as a diehard Bengal.

I agree, worst sports writer ... maybe ever. You must have not built any relationships to get the real stories. I wish someone would trade you to Miami for a third or fourth round pick.
