We have one week to go before the NFL pre-season starts, with the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys facing off next Sunday night (8.4) on NBC.  Here is a brief rundown of the 2013 Inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in Canton, OH.

Larry Allen: re-defined the offensive line position for the Dallas Cowboys during the 1990's.

Jonathan Ogden: offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens for 9-years, 11-time pro-bowler.
Bill Parcells: The Big Tuna.  Coached the Giants, Patriots, Jets, Cowboys.  Took all four to the playoffs.
