Mazel Tov to Goldberg

Famed WWE wrestler and former Georgia Bulldog football star Bill Goldberg headlines a class of seven inductees into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.  Also, headlining this year's inductees are Virginia Tech head basketball coach Seth Greenberg and US National Swim Team, and Beijing Olympic star Jason Lezak, he of the touch-up win in the thrilling 4x100 meter relay that kept Michael Phelps medal march intact.  In addition, the class consisted of female judo champion Rusty Kanokogi; Penn State women?s volleyball coach Russ Rose; Achilles Track Club founder Dick Traum; and former NFL offensive lineman Alan Veingrad.

Goldberg of course is an athlete and personality all his own and is rumored to be mulling a comeback to professional wrestling.  He would not address that preferring to focus on Celebrity Apprentice.  All by himself, he manages to destroy the stereotype of the shy, bookish and retiring Jewish weakling schoolboy, and an entire generation of Jewish youth will forever look up to him for that.
