Hall of Fame Game Facts To Impress Your Friends

Congratulations! Your team has been blessed/cursed with a fifth preseason game!

Whether you enjoy the NFL's annual Hall of Fame game largely depends whether or not you'll be playing in the game. If you are, chances are you hate it, as Aaron Rodgers does. If you're not, you're probably a football starved fan looking for any opportunity to watch professional football again.
