Canton Visitors Shocked Dickerson Not in Broadcasting Wing

... It’s becoming a daily task. Pro Hall of Fame Director Barry Alistair must spend a good chunk of each day telling confused visitors that Eric Dickerson’s bust belongs just where it is, in the player’s wing, and not the broadcaster’s wing.

Eric Dickerson's Hall of Fame bust is surprisingly located in the players wing.
... Dickerson, who is currently a sideline reporter on ABC’s Monday Night Football, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999. He ran for 13,259 yards over 11 season with the Rams, Colts, Raiders, and Falcons.

...“I couldn’t believe it when I saw [Dickerson] in the players wing,” said Brad Winthrop, who came to the Canton landmark with his some Billy and wife Claire on Saturday. “I knew he used to play football, but I figured with all of the fine television work he does he would have been honored for his broadcasting.”

...Dickerson issued a statement today to be posted near his bust about the confusion: “I be. Faulk. Back to you fellas, Al. Trap block.”
