Alan Faneca overcame bouts with epilepsy to become one of the premier offensive linemen in the NFL.

From bone-rattling tacklers Troy Polamalu, Steve Atwater and Cliff Harris to hard-charging runner Edgerrin James to the pass-catching brilliance of Isaac Bruce and Harold Carmichael, the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2020 has something for everyone.

The group of men entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend features everything.

The Pittsburgh Steelers followed a stumbling first half with a strong final 30 minutes to beat Dallas 16-3 in the first NFL preseason game in two years.

Videos show security guards taking women’s purses full of cash at the event, and lines of women who were waiting to get paid. “That’s out of our control,” Thomas wrote.

The four-time Pro Bowl running back spent 11 seasons in the NFL with the Colts, Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. He amassed 12,246 yards and 80 rushing touchdowns in his NFL career. He still holds the Colts’ franchise record for rushing yards (9,226) and career rushing touchdowns (64).

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Edgerrin James said he recently filled his car with $1 million in singles. “I am Stripper Bowl ready,” James said while riding a sports utility vehicle full of bags of cash. Other clubs expecting large crowds of men looking for exotic dancers, good food and music are in Miami Gardens, Hialeah, Miami’s Upper East Side and Hallandale Beach. Pop Smoker, a New York rapper also known as Bashar Jackson, will be performing at the new KOD Miami, not to be confused with the former King of Diamonds in Miami Gardens. KOD Miami opened at 7020 NW 72 Ave., near Hialeah, the former home of the Babylon Miami Nightclub where a dancer was found dead last year.
