I've had extended debates on whether or not Brett Favre should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I understand he has the most touchdowns. (twirls finger in mock celebration) He also has the most interceptions and when you combine them with his fumbles, more turnovers than touchdowns. I'm trying to picture John Stockton going to the HOF with more turnovers than assists. Favre has one super bowl victory...so does Trent Dilfer. Favre has a clothing brand to his credit...so does Stephan Marbury. Farve texted a random woman a picture of his penis...ok i'll give him that one; I laughed heartily.
Anyway, it got me to thinking. What if they had a hall of fame for other professions outside of sports. Of course my mind immediately went to porn; then what the equivalent of a turnover would be. Would porn stars be inducted based on number of videos appeared in? Number of views total? Number of med school letters turned down to pursue this career? I think pretty much any profession would be better served if there were a HOF. The medical field most notably. That would be badass if there were a 'most lives saved' category or a 'best disease curing percentage.' I think that would open up quite a few merchandising opportunities. I can guarantee they would have at least one sale if they made a T-shirt of the best doctor in the world strangling a bacterium with his bare hands. This thought seems somehow incomplete. Any ideas on better professions?

Anywho, I think that snow plow drivers/garbage men deserve a HOF! In most cases these men or women share the responsibilities of both of the prestigious lines of municipal work and I think they deserve a bot of recognition. Number of recycling violations caught, best garbage can stacking, or we could just go insane and make it number of streets plowed or houses garbage disposed of per hour. This final option would have seasonal stats and of course career numbers. Could you imagine the effectiveness of properly, status motivated garbage men or women?

ReplyDeleteI didn't believe that he had more turnovers than TD's so I looked it up. Career he has 508 TDS and 502 turnovers. Still terrible, but he does have 6 more TDs for the record.
