My Take
Roy Keane is my favorite kind of footballer: the one whose presence mattered more than any statistic, even though his statistics are formidable. Nineteen trophies and the Manchester United armband tell you he won; the glare, the standards, the refusal to accept anything less than total commitment tell you why. I find his second act just as compelling — as a pundit he applies the same brutal honesty to television that he once applied to midfield, and it works because nobody doubts he lived it. Hall of Fame inductions feel almost redundant for a man who defined an era's intensity.
