      They also whipped the best Redskins team ever in Superbowl 18. (What a nightmare for me as a little kid! That game got so out of hand I couldn't even be mad or sad before the first half ended.. it was like accidentally watching a train wreck in slow motion)

    “Not to bad for a couple of grape pickers” is the most powerful line Ive heard from a Mexican American as my self. My great grandparents immigrated from Mexico to Indiana where they would pick cherries for cents on the dollar. They would tell stories of how disrespectful people would be towards them saying go back to your own country and calling them racist names to try and demoralize them. I am proud being a Mexican living in the best country in the world . I just wish sometimes people like Tom Flores and my grandparents would get more respect for their character instead of the being treated indifferently because the color of their skin and their accent and last name being different…

    I'm 56 yrs old, a huge football fan and loved watching the Raiders back in the 70's and 80's, especially when they played the Steelers. Man, football was the greatest back then. While my favorite team wasn't the Raiders, I respected them just the same. Loved watching Ken Stabler as well, he was a great QB and then I saw Howie Long. I miss the old days of the NFL, too many rules and changes now but the memories will always be there. I got teary eyed when it was announced Tom was going in the hall.
    Tom should've been inducted into the HOF a long time before now. I'm glad he's finally inducted. Congratulations, Coach, it's well deserved but long overdue.

    Coach Flores and Jim Plunkett are the reasons why I will always be a Raiders fan. I was an LA Rams fan as a kid before the Raiders moved to LA in 1981. When I saw two men that looked like me wearing that Silver and Black, I was an instant fan. They brought a Super Bowl Championship to LA in 1983, that team is my all time Raider team. Coach Flores, you have no idea how you impacted my life. RN4L...

    I was just a boy when Tom was the coach , now I am 55 and it brings a tear to my eye to see him finally get in. Way Over Due , As a player he has a SB, as an Asst he has a SB and as HC he has 2 SB'S . So glad he lived long enough to see it.

    A long overdue honor! Congratulations coach Flores! Thank you for your decades representing Raider Nation and Hispanic culture.

    Long overdue, made history first Hispanic to play QB in the NFL, first Hispanic to become an NFL Head Coach & first Hispanic Head Coach to win a SB.
    Won 4 SBs
    1 as a player: KC Chiefs
    1 as an Assistant Coach: Oakland Raiders
    2 and a Head Coach: Oakland & LA Raiders
    Other person to do that Mike Ditka
    Next year Hopefully Jim Plunkett, Cliff Branch & Lester Hayes goes in the HOF as well!

    Whenever someone asks me why I'm a raider fan I always say it's because I was born and raised in sanger ca. Growing up hearing about the iceman and having his niece as a teacher, I think being a Raider fan was inevitable and I'm trying to explain to my kids the significance. Salute to Tom Flores and everyone who represents the little guys.
