CLASS OF 2026 INCOMING (9PM ET)

TONIGHT is the moment: in less than an hour, the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026 is revealed at NFL Honors (9:00 PM ET).

In Part Two of our two-part series, Lee + Michael break down what the Hall of Fame really is: an immortality machine, a voting system, a political ecosystem, and—yes—a business decision wrapped in velvet and bronze.

What we cover (fast, but deep):

• What “immortality” means in pro football (and why the Hall is different from every other honor)

• How the voting process shapes outcomes (and why “best player” is not always the whole rubric)

• Narratives, era bias, positional bias, ring culture, and media memory

• Why the Gold Jacket has a price—for players, teams, and the league’s historical story
