It’s the day before the Super Bowl and that means we will hear, of the 17 finalists, who will be enshrined in the NFL Hall of Fame in August of 2012.  This class is full of some great players, one of them being Jerome ‘The Bus’ Bettis.  His legacy of being a premiere and physical running back runs thick with Black & Gold colors.  Former Steelers Dermontti Dawson and Jack Butler (senior candidate) are also on the short list.  Be sure to tune in at 5:30 EST today to find out who will be enshrined this year.

The complete list of nominees (taken from profootballhof.com) is after the jump.

Spolier alert: If you want to wait until the Super Bowl to see these commercials, then I suggest you stop reading.

Every year millions and millions of people tune into the biggest game on earth…. and some of those actually watch the game (rim shot please).  The one thing I don’t like most about the game are the commercials – ONLY because I can’t go to the bathroom or grab a snack for fear of missing a good one!  So, to spell your worries and mine about whether we will miss out on a hilarious commercial because we decided to go get more nacho dip during a break in the action, here are a few commercials that will help you look less like a fool during Monday’s water cooler talk.
