It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I vote yes, this is a no brainer.. forgot how he must have been once thought of as a "prestigious writer", guess his greed and venom for BB have clouded his vision and led to early senility. My suggestion for a replacement from this region, if it is a regional thing, is Tom Curran.

HOF voters are pretty much determined by seniority on their hometown newspapers.
I.e., the decision is effectively bucked back to the Globe.
Besides: HOF choices are based largely on understanding guys as well as their hometown writers do. So that's about the one football-related task Borges IS well-suited for.
Seriously, his columns explaining his HOF opinions are generally among his very few intelligent and interesting ones each year.
You know, this will be an unpopular opinion, but I will mess Ron every Sunday. His notes column is is great. I have never been able to forgive him for the hack job he did on the 85 Pats, but he is usually right about everything except the Patriots and Belichick. I just hope somebody else picks up the notes column.

The Board consists of one media representative from each pro football city with two from New York, inasmuch as that city has two teams in the National Football League. A 33rd member is a representative of the Pro Football Writers of America and there are seven at-large delegates.
With the exception of the PFWA representative who is appointed for a two-year term, all appointments are of the open-end variety and can be terminated only by retirement or resignation, as long as the member continues to attend meetings regularly.

The way I read this, Borges can remain a lifer as long as he doesn't retire or quit the HOF Board. Nothing about the newspaper sponsorship.
